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

(Translated by Google) Amazing hotel with the best service you can imagine. Stayed in the villa for a few days - it is just perfection in terms of design and comfort. Also the best location before the gate. Breakfasts and dinners are so delicious that you want to take everything to your room. The price-quality ratio is the best in my opinion.

Потрясающий отель с самым лучшим сервисом какой только можно представить. Останавливались на вилле на несколько дней - она просто совершенство в плане дизайна и удобства. Также лучшее место до ворот. Завтраки и ужины настолько вкусные, что хочется взять с собой в номер все. Соотношение цена и качество - лучшее я считаю.

This property was the closest to the national park. Cosy, comfortable and great hospitality. It was beautiful and going around the property was a treat! My favourite was the giant chess board, which me and my dad hopped on to, at once! Not to forget the super friendly tourists we met there ❤️

(Translated by Google) Great hotel right next to the Kruger National Park. What should be particularly highlighted is the super nice and courteous staff. However, the older rooms are a bit old. Still clean.

Tolles Hotel direkt am Kruger Nationalpark. Hervorzuheben ist vor allem das super nette und zuvorkommende Personal. Die älteren Zimmer sind jedoch etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Dennoch sauber.

Thank you to the Kruger Gate Hotel for the extraordinary experience. They went out of their way to make our stay unforgettable. They did so much effort on my sister’s birthday. They’re always smiling, so friendly and helpful. The location is amazing, I love the pool that overlooks the river. We’ve seen hippos, antelopes and elephants while swimming. The food was beyond amazing. The buffet has a good variety of food options and is so much delicious food to choose from. Special thanks to Sarah for being so kind, welcoming and helpful. We will definitely be back.

This hotel has come a long way from the ancient Protea hotel with the dark and gloomy bedrooms to a high quality facility with good restaurant standard and beautifully appointed bedrooms. The immediate vicinity of the Paul Kruger Gate is a major asset.

It was my first time experience of a safari. The hotel is even better than I expected. The location and setting is simply perfect. You feel genuinly in the jungle right after you enter the hotel. Everything is very clean. Dinner and breakfast is unbelievable. Wide variety of everything. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Immediately you feel here at home.

We had given the trip to a friend for his birthday. We had booked a deluxe room. This category is a simple standard room, somewhat old-fashioned with small flaws such as chipped tiles in the bathroom etc. But the room was clean and we had not spent much time there. Our friend had a Luxury room and that was much better, spacious and modern and highly recommended.

The facility is very nicely laid out, the restaurants are both great, the food - both breakfast and dinner buffet - Great selection and top quality.

The staff is very friendly and helpful.

We had been promised a piece of cake with singing for our friend\'s birthday for dinner, which unfortunately did not work out.

The game drives are a bit chaotic in the morning. Unfortunately, the allocation of guests to the drivers does not work so well. Depending on which driver you catch (Alex was great) you will be compensated. We did 2 drives and saw all the Big 5 and many other animals.

The pools are good for relaxing, the loungers comfortable, the staff there also very attentive.

The Kruger Gate Hotel is highly recommended.

From check in to check out everything is superb. I had a great room, super fresh and clean and quiet. Food is great and so is everyone working there. So many nice and friendly people and can’t remember the names of all but a special shoutout to Charity and Monica that took special care of me😍
Pool area gorgeous, very close to the park and animals passing by or coming close almost daily.
Spa is great and really recommend it!
If you’re even considering this place don’t think just book!

Gostamos demais da nossa estadia, queríamos ter ficado mais. O hotel era muito bonito, bem decorado e muito confortável. A vista da piscina era incrível. Vimos elefantes, hipopótamos e impalas. Tanto o jantar quanto o café da manhã foram excelentes, com muita variedade, atendendo a todos os gostos. Vimos macacos, babuínos, cobras e impalas dentro do hotel. Foi uma ótima experiência.

Вкусная и разнообразная еда высокого качества, маловато рыбки, в остальном все отлично.
За окном номера бегают антилопы, обезьяны.
Красивая территория, вечером можно наблюдать бегемотов прямо из бассейна.

12/10 Sternen! Es war eine außergewöhnliche Erfahrung. Direkt am Kruger Gate liegt das Hotel mit Pool Richtung Sabi River. Die gesamte Anlage war sehr sauber, außergewöhnlich schön gestaltet und jeden Tag ein Erlebnis. Das Essen ist super, das Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, die Safari war erfolgreich. Wir haben jede Sekunde genossen und würden sie jederzeit empfehlen. Vom Pool aus haben wir Elefanten, Nilpferde und viele andere Tiere gesehen.
Das Frühstück und Abendessen ist sehr umfangreich und für jeden (Vegetarierin) genügend Auswahl. Auch die anderen Gäste, mit denen wir gesprochen hatten, waren völlig begeistert. Es war eine unglaubliche Zeit!

Fabulous selection for breakfast and dinner. Great packed breakfast for early morning safari. Rooms cool, clean and very comfortable. Pool area with infinity deck was a real treat.
Safari guide, Justice, was absolutely amazing - very knowledgable and great at spotting wildlife. All staff in the hotel were super friendly and welcoming.

Très bien situé, très confortable. Le restaurant était très bien.

Posted on 14/03/2025 by Booking.com

Die Anlage ist sehr schön angelegt und besticht durch ihren Charme. Die Luxuszimmer sind großzügig und modern eingerichtet und den etwas in die Jahre gekommenen Deluxe Zimmern vorzuziehen.
Die Sauberkeit ist im gesamten komplex auffallend.

Das Personal und durchwegs freundlich und sehr hilfsbereit. Vielen Dank besonders an Sarah für all ihre Hilfe mit Buchungen etc.

Die Gamedrives beginnen zwar etwas chaotisch bis jeder Gast seinen Fahrer gefunden hat aber Alex hat uns toll durch den Drive gebracht. Er hat uns so viel erklärt und gezeigt und wir haben dann auch die Big 5 und viele weitere Highlights erleben dürfen.

Die Restaurants sind beide wunderschön und das Essen - Frühstück und Abendessen in Nuffetgorm - lassen keine Wünsche offen.

Wir können das Hotel sehr empfehlen.

This hotel is absolutely amazing - the property is gorgeous and the food is outstanding. It’s located right outside of Kruger Gate, so access to the park is super easy and you can go on any of the hotel or SANPark safari tours. We will definitely be back!
