We booked our honeymoon through TourCompass and stayed at Kruger Gate Hotel. It is an amazing hotel with the friendliest staff. The staff go out of their way to make your day and are always so kind to you. Our particular thanks go to Zenda who was brilliant.
The food is lovely too, lots of different options and new food every night. Even the usual menu was great too and a good price.
We did the private dining overlooking the viewing deck and were blown away by the service, food and cost.
The location itself is amazing, it is a long drive from any town but it is right on the doorstep of Kruger Park. We did 3 full day safaris with the hotel guide (Colin) and he was brilliant: so knowledgeable, funny, knew exactly where to go and found us some incredible animals.
The hotel was clean and the rooms were constantly tidied. The whole hotel was beautiful, decorated well and the animals roaming around were a great addition.
Was a brilliant trip and I would definitely recommend staying at this hotel.

Nourriture délicieuse, ambiance chaleureuse et personnel aux petits soins. L’emplacement est parfait pour partir en safari directement depuis la porte du Kruger Park.

Die Lage direkt am Kruger Park ist natürlich unfassbar einmalig. Infinity Pool mit Blick in den Bark. Die weitläufige Anlage ist sehr schön, und es kann einem schon mal ein Äffchen oder eine Antilope auf der eigenen Terrasse begegnen.

Esta foi a segunda vez que fiquei no Kruger Gate. Hotel lindíssimo, encantador, com uma vista para a reserva de tirar o ar, com direito a animais dos mais variados tipos se exibindo. Quartos espaçosos e confortáveis. Estrutura completa para família, casais e grupos de amigos. A equipe é maravilhosa, muito prestativa e sempre disposta a solucionar qualquer problema. A comida é ótima e muito variada, tanto nas refeições contratadas quanto nos restaurantes como o pool bar. Sou apaixonada por esse hotel! Destaco o atendimento do driver Siya, que foi um querido conosco.
