Guest Reviews

(Translated by Google) The hotel is located right by the Kruger Gate, making it very easy to get into the park for safaris. From the pool bar, you can look directly out onto the Sabie River, where you can often spot various animals such as elephants and hippos – a real highlight.

The rooms were lovely, well-maintained, and clean, and the beds were very comfortable. The only minor drawback was the bathroom ventilation, which wasn't great.

The breakfast buffet is very extensive and offers something for everyone; it was delicious.

Another highlight is the evening buffet. The atmosphere in the restaurant, with its fire, is incredibly cozy, and there's a local band playing every evening for entertainment, which was very cool and interesting. The food selection is huge and of very high quality.

I can wholeheartedly recommend this hotel; it was a wonderful and unforgettable stay.

(Original)
Das Hotel liegt direkt am Kruger Gate, wodurch man sehr schnell im Park ist für die Safaris. Von der Poolbar aus kann man direkt auf den Sabie river schauen wo man immer wieder verschiedene Tiere wie z.B Elefanten und Nilpferde beobachten kann, ein richtiges Highlight.

Die Zimmer waren schön, gepflegt und sauber, die Betten sehr bequem. Nur ein kleiner Mangel war die Lüftung im Bad, welche nicht wirklich gut war.

Das Frühstücksbüffet ist sehr gross und hat für alle etwas zu bieten, es war sehr lecker.

Ein weiteres Highlight ist das Abendbuffet, die Stimmung im Restaurant mit dem Feuer ist super gemütlich, ausserdem ist jeden Abend eine lokal Musikgruppe zur Unterhaltu ng was sehr cool und interessant war. Die Essensauswahl ist riesig und qualitativ sehr hochwertig.

Ich kann das Hotel zu 100% weiterempfehlen , es waren wunderschöne und unvergessliche Tage.

The property is built to a high standard and in a very stylish african way. It is well maintained and clean.

For dinner, you can choose between the buffet at the Lapa Restaurant or the optional private dining hut, where you can enjoy both the excellent food and the wonderful atmosphere.

The staff are friendly and attentive.

The pool overlooking the Sabi River is definitely one of the highlights. From your sun lounger, you can spot wildlife throughout the day, which makes the experience even more special.

Both the breakfast and dinner buffets are extensive, beautifully presented and delicious.

A visit is definitely recommended

We've an amazing experience with them!!

A well run hotel, providing easy of access to the early morning game drives with the advantage of a decent stay and evening meal compared to most of the safaris with glamping/camping offerings.
Sorry to have missed out on the breakfast for 5 of the 7 nights stayed due to the early start… but then again one can’t really get the best of both worlds.

We thoroughly enjoyed this perfect stay; a huge thank you goes to Johannes (Supervisor), who made our stay truly special. A big thank you also to Given (our favorite waiter at dinner). And a very big thank you to all the other staff members, not forgetting the kitchen staff – the food was always varied and delicious.

Ótimo hotel, bem localizado com boas refeições e quarto limpo e confortável.

A equipe de funcionários bem educada e sorridente, começando pelo transfer do aeroporto até o hotel. O hotel é imenso, nosso quarto ficou distante da recepção, mas era muito aconchegante. Td muito sinalizado. A culinária maravilhosa, café da manhã e jantar nota 1.000. Ficamos encantados. A noite teve apresentação de dança. O spa está em reforma mesmo assim fizemos uma massagem maravilhosa. Fica na porta do parque Krüger. Localização perfeita p um safári e ideal p famílias com crianças tbm. Tem uma vista linda p o rio onde vimos elefantes, hipopótamos e macacos. No hotel tem lojinha, tem restaurante e toda área de lazer.

Helt igennem fantastisk sted og ophold. Dejlig modtagelse, lækkert værelse, rigtig lækker og varieret mad- (dog var lunch box sandwich ualmindelig tær alle dage) mere end almindelig fantastisk udsigt. Alt personale var søde smilende og hjælpsomme. Hyggeligt med underholdning om aftenen. Tak

The property sits on the edge of the park providing easy access to the Safari drives without having to stay in a campsite or even glamping….
A decent buffet awaits at the end of each day along with proper rooms and staying facilities.
Breakfast is also served however on safari days it’s sadly missed due to the early start, the packed breakfast does not come up to the breakfast missed out… a compromise at the end of the day.

Wonderful location and great experience. Staff and friendly and helpful. Had a really great time staying here.

Wish we could have spent more than one night! We treated ourselves to end off our anniversary trip to Kruger and we’re so glad we did.

This is an immaculate hotel with the very best and friendliest team. Give every single one of them a raise!

An excellent bush lapa dinner (braaibroodjies are a must!) and an equally fantastic breakfast buffet.

While I will continue to encourage international visitors to spend a few nights inside the park at one of its special rest camps, I will now recommend that they ALSO spend a few nights at Kruger Gate Hotel if they are able, to experience the best of both.

Loved it all!

We had a wonderful stay at the Kruger Gate Hotel. It has beautiful grounds and the pool bar is incredible. You can watch the animals, such as elephants, from there. The food is delicious. We highly recommend the Kruger Gate Hotel.

An unforgettable experience in South Africa and Kruger National

We have seen and experienced so much during our stay – incredible wildlife, beautiful landscapes and moments that we will remember for a very long time. Every day brought something new, and being able to see these animals in their natural environment was truly special.

I would absolutely love to come back one day. This part of South Africa has made a huge impression on me, and Kruger is a place I will never forget.

Thank you for an amazing adventure! ❤️🐘🦁🦒
Thanks to wonderful cleaning ladies , all staff in restaurants, Reception, and all functions.
If I could wish for one small improvement, stronger coffe and learn the recipe of Caiprihina 😅 its made with LIME not lemon 😅

Had a wonderful three night stay in this superb hotel, right on the park gates. Room was comfortable, spacious and clean. The whole hotel lends itself to the Safari experience. If Disney were to do a safari hotel it wouldn’t look this good, nor be this authentic, nor would the service be anywhere near as excellent.

A range of safari game drives can be booked through the hotel and SANParks own drives (providing access to Kruger after normal hours) will also pick you up from the hotel. Booked both group and private drives - saw the big five, plus many more, including cheetahs up very close. Most people I spoke to had seen the big five over a couple of days, even on shared drives. The advantage of a private drive is the rapport you build with the guide and - above all - control, so you can ask the driver to fill the gaps in your “must see” list, I’d recommend doing this after a shared drive. Morning drives do feel like a hunt as countless guides all race to sightings of big cats while they’re still active. All day drives allow a more relaxed pace after the initial rush. The hotel provides a packed breakfast when going out on Safari.

I looked at various options and whilst stays in private reserves have a number of advantages, the price tag is huge. Kruger Gate Hotel, for me, was a great compromise as all that separates you from the Park is the Sabi River. You do have to figure in conservation fees whenever you enter the park, including transfers from/to Skakuza Airport (easy to see why it was voted prettiest airport in the world).

Its location does mean that animals come right up to the viewing terrace/infinity pool, including buffaloes and a family of elephants while I was there.

Staff are mega friendly and helpful - cannot fault their attentiveness. They sorted out a problem quickly and even sent a complimentary bottle of wine to the room to make up for the issue.

Food is buffet-style which might not be to everyone’s liking, but there’s a massive choice and you’re sure to find something to your taste. Do watch spice levels though: I had a wors which blew my head off and I am pretty tolerant of spicy foods.

All in all, I would thoroughly recommend this hotel which gives 95% of the experience of staying on a private reserve without the price tag and feels every bit like a five star hotel.

Un hotel maravilloso para vivir la experiencia de Kruger. Está al lado de la puerta del parque, por lo que la logística para los safaris es comodísima (hicimos safaris contratados en el hotel y estuvieron genial). Destacaría el buffet tiene una variedad estupenda y muchísima calidad, y las cenas al aire libre son una delicia. Para rematar, el spa es espectacular y el trato de todo el personal, impecable. Totalmente recomendable.

Wir waren im August 8 Nächte vor Ort. Der Service war überragend. Die Zimmer wurden mehrmals am Tag gereinigt. Nahezu jeder Wunsch wurde vom Personal erfüllt. Tolles Frühstück und abwechslungsreiches gutes Abendessen. Die Gerichte an der Poolbar sahen super aus (haben wur aber nicht in Anspruch genommen) Der Ausblick von der Poolterrasse war atemberaubend (Safari im Hotel)
