Our rates are inclusive of Dinner, Bed and Breakfast.

Elevating your Kruger safari experience with an easy room upgrade.

We are hardwired to be budget-conscious, and there’s no doubt that this is generally a good thing.

However, when it comes to travel, the knee-jerk reaction to just clicking on the lowest accommodation rate can stand in the way of completely fulfilling your dreams of a holiday of a lifetime.

For many of us, a Kruger safari is an exceptional travel experience. It’s not often that we get to venture deep into the African wilds to spend a few precious days immersed in nature in all its glory and encountering some of the most iconic wildlife on the planet. While your focus is going to be on the exciting game drives, it’s still important to fully consider the importance of your comfort and individual needs. This is, after all, a unique experience in your life’s journey, and that alone is inspiration enough to add an extra touch of luxury if you can.

Going on safari can be rigorous. Morning game drives in the Park mean rising before dawn, and all day and afternoon safaris can be hot and tiring. You want the accommodation that you return to be restful and restorative so that you can recharge and be ready for the next day’s adventures. But sometimes, having just a bit more space and a couple of extra amenities elevates your safari experience by a lot.
When it comes to luxury accommodation at the Kruger National Park, Kruger Gate Hotel’s range of Deluxe rooms set a high bar. However, you can also easily upgrade to a Kruger Luxury Room or a Kruger Suite without breaking the budget. Our stylish Kruger Luxury Rooms feature tasteful leather and wood finishes with artwork that celebrates the rich legacy of the Kruger National Park. You will get the best night’s sleep in a plush extra length King bed. The comfortable living area is ideal for relaxing on the couch to watch TV or to read a book from your private in-room library. Couples will especially enjoy the modern bathroom with twin basins, a walk-in shower and bathtub, as well as the separate toilet.

A suite is not out of the question

Your sense of personal space is important and for some, the appointment of their hotel room makes all the difference to their stay. Our Kruger Suites are set in the evocative riverine woodland of the Sabie River. They offer all luxury features as well as larger living rooms that flow out onto private, enclosed patios with stylish outdoor seating where you can enjoy morning coffee, sundowners, or a nightcap under the stars. The tastefully curated indoor and outdoor spaces of the Kruger Suites fully immerse you in the surroundings, enhancing your oneness with nature and enabling special sightings of birdlife and the gentle bushbuck that occasionally wander through the hotel gardens.

Your Kruger safari trip should be everything that you want it to be. So, it’s important to go further in your accommodation search than simply asking, “where to stay in Kruger National Park”. Think also about how you want to stay and explore the room upgrade options. Dialling up the luxury notch often costs less than you think, while making a notable difference to your special Kruger safari experience.

Guest Reviews

Kruger Gate Hotel was one of the best resort experiences I have ever had. Not only are you on the doorstep of kruger, the wildlife permeates through the place by walking through it contantly (the non dangerous ones!). The hotel itself is well kept/looks good and is filled with leafy trees. The infinity pool looking out over the river is fantastic and you are bound to see many Animals from there alone.

The staff are all great people. Lawrence and so many countless others always went out of their way to help me whenever they could, even setting us up with things for other parts of our trip at no benefit to them.

A bank of memories with good people!

Perfectly located on the Sabie river surrounded by game reserves, right next to 1 of the main entrance gates to the Kruger National Park. Beautiful outlay on wooden decks / walkways surrounded by lush vegetation and trees. 1 indoor restaurant and 1 outdoor restaurant shape in a boma. Rated 4 star hotel but the food variety and quality is close to 5 star. 2 outdoor swimming pools with one overlooking the river and big game that may wonder upclose. Game drives can be booked any time of day and a gym is also available Romantic, peaceful and good value

What a truly beautiful hotel. We loved watching the hippos in the river from the infinity pool, and every dinner around the open fire was absolutely wonderful.
We spent three unforgettable days on safari with Enock, who completely made the experience for us. His knowledge is exceptional, he answered every question with ease and enthusiasm. He went above and beyond to ensure our safari was everything we hoped for and more.

Thanks to Enock for amazing 3 day Safari with my family. He was so much fun and his knowledge was incredible teaching us a lot while making us feel very safe.
His experience showed with him been able to spot out the smallest signs of animals, allowing us to see 4 of the big 5, among many other animals.
Thanks Enock.

From great service, an amazing safari and a great hotel in general, this place is definitely worth it.

Would love to come back in the next few years.

Enoch was an incredible safari guide. He was so knowledgable and made us feel very safe. He could spot animals without a camera or binoculars that we hadn’t been able to see! He knew lots of information about the animals and local area. He was also extremely respectful to the animals.

The hotel is magnificent! It has a lovely feel about it, and the buffet breakfast and dinner is the best.

Equipe atenciosa, quarto amplo, confortável e bem decorado. Recepção e áreas comuns aconchegantes e bem decoradas. Excelente café da manhã e jantar. Um lanche para quem está indo para o Safari antes das 6 da manhã fez toda diferença.

L’emplacement est superbe à la frontière du parc Kruger, face a la rivière où nous avons pu observer hippopotames, antilopes et même un éléphant traverser, tout en étant au bord de la très belle piscine. Chambre bien décorée et très propre et nombreux services pour rendre l’expérience très agréable. Un plaisir de revenir de safari dans l’établissement !
