Amazing time here and my friends also loved it. We’ll definitely be coming back

(Translated by Google) Incredible hotel, with great facilities and exceptional service. In addition to the wonderful safaris, the dinner with a traditional show ends the night in the best way.

The service is a highlight, everyone is very friendly and helpful.

Hotel incrível, com ótima estrutura e um serviço excepcional. Além dos safáris que são maravilhosos, o jantar com show típico encerra a noite da melhor forma.
Destaque para o serviço, todos são muito simpáticos e solicitos.

My family and I stayed for 3 nights here, and it was great! We stayed in the Kruger Luxury Rooms, and they were spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The breakfast and dinners (that were included) were delicious, which were buffet-style and had many options on each day. Even on the days we did full-day safaris (which started at 5:30am, thus before breakfast time), the hotel packed to-go breakfast boxes for us to take on the safaris, which came with a sandwich, juice, apple, and a plethora of snacks. We also enjoyed massage treatments at the spa, which were reasonably priced and very relaxing. They were able to accommodate same-day reservations for us. The staff were all very polite and accommodating. We wished we had the time to extend our stay! Before booking Kruger Gate Hotel, we were considering whether we wanted to stay at various sites within the actual park, but we were very glad we chose Kruger Gate hotel. We would definitely stay here again.

For the safari:
My family and I did 2 full day safaris with Enock as our guide on both days. He was great! He was very knowledgeable about the animals and could answer all our questions. What really stood out about Enock was his enthusiasm - he seemed to genuinely enjoy his job, and sometimes even seemed more excited than we were to spot the animals. When we passed by other safari drivers or people in their own vehicles doing self-drives, he would stop them and let them know where the nearby animals were (we noticed that not all other safari drivers did this). We saw the Big Five, in addition to many other animals including cheetahs (which are super rare). Towards the end of our second day, we still hadn\'t seen a leopard and had almost given up hope, but Enock was relentless and drove around asking his colleagues until we indeed spotted one! He always listened to what we wanted to see and do and accommodated our requests. When we seemed tired, he would slow down and let us rest. Before our trip, we were debating doing a self-drive or a guided safari, and we\'re so glad we chose the guided safari! We will be recommending Enock to any of our friends who are interested in doing a Kruger safari.

Practical tip: bring layers! It was very hot on the days we did our safaris, but because of the wind, it still felt pretty chilly at times, especially the mornings.

tshepo served us both nights,he was so attentive and provided amazing service. So kind and such a pleasure to talk to. Thank you!

Perfect service from luggage and transport through guest relations to organize a golf trip to Skukuza GC, to the Safari guide Abraham (just perfect) and for the marvellous top breakfast buffet and dinner buffet. Perfect 3 night stay, strongly recommended!

What a special place the Kruger Gate Hotel is. Right on the edge of the Kruger National Park so no time at all to go on game drives. We were fortunate enough to spend 7 days here in April 25 and it was magical. The staff are wonderfully friendly and welcoming, the rooms are spacious and the food is magnificent. This is one of the nicest places we’ve stayed.

We had the best time at Kruger Gate Hotel. The space is beautiful and could not be closer to the park entrance. The staff was so lovely, and the spa and food were particular highlights. The safaris were absolutely spectacular — the guides were so knowledgeable and we learned so much about the animals and environment.

We stayed here for 2 days this month and all I can say is..we will definitely come back. Beautiful hotel, great food, lovely entertainment during dinner, helpful staff, pool with a view (elephants came to visit us) and a fabulous game drive...what more can one ask for. Most importantly we found out...many guests keep coming back...that says it all. Thank you for everything

The hotel is very good, I recommend it. We were two adults and two children in a room with two queen size beds and were very comfortable. Great breakfast and dinner buffet with lots of gluten-free options (the breakfast muffins great), and the friendly and very pending service.
The pool area is very nice and overlooks the river so you can see animals going there to drink.
The first night we had a problem as in the middle of the night there was a leak in the room just above the bed (by a bad pipe) and we had to change rooms, with the aggravation that the next day we had hired the sunrise safari at 4.45, so we did not sleep barely. As soon as they heard about it from the hotel management they offered us the refund that night, a sign that it is a good hotel concerned about providing good service.

The hotel is located right in the Kruger park. It has a beautiful, modern African style. A rich breakfast buffet was provided with fine service. The terrace is surrounded by the beautiful garden. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
The bathroom could use an update.
Massages with a view of the wild animals if there are any. We enjoyed an African dinner with spectacle.

We we're a family of five with three grown up kids and stayed in the chalet ...maybe a little modest for the family for size two beds are in the attic over the kitchen ...a pool beside the chalets was brilliant...the entertainment and dinner every night amazing ...safari drive was brilliant very cold at 5.30 but heated up after about two hours ...everything seemed to be no problem to make you more comfortable thank you

Beautiful location and pool. Attention to detail and very spacious and comfortable room.

Location is amazing and staff very friendly and helpfull

It was a gorgeous place to stay with amenities galore. We upgraded to a premium room which was so worth the money. Our room was spacious with plenty of room to roam. The spa was fantastic with separate cabanas for most of the treatments facing the Kruger national park so you got to view some while life while being pampered. The food was spectacular and definitely pampered by the waiters. Very attentive to details.!

The property was so unique and beautiful and worth every dime and more. The staff were so respectful and friendly and genuine in their interactions with visitors.

The property is stunning and with a lot of activities. Our room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. The view from the pool is wonderful. We could swim while watching elephants and giraffes.
The location is perfect, very close to Paul Kruger Gate and we had a wonderful 3 days safari experience!
The food was excellent and the staff are very friendly, always with a welcoming smile. For my birthday we had a private dinner at the viewing deck and we could see the hippos. The dinner was delicious, the chef Zandre and his colleague Tshepo presented it beautifully. It was a memorable evening.
On our next trip to the Kruger, we will definitely stay here again.

We went to the older version of this hotel as kids with family many years ago. It’s sad that South Africans are no longer the target market given the price range. However my mom and her friend thoroughly enjoyed the experience!

Un lugar único! En la entrada del parque kruger, personal muy amable, preocupado de los requerimientos, buffet muy surtido; mi hija estaba de cumpleaños y se portaron maravillosamente bien con ella… muchos detalles! Buena comida, habitaciones amplias, desde la piscina vimos elefantes, hipopótamos, monos, pumba, jabalí, entre otras maravillas de la naturaleza… un destino para repetir!

Café da manhã e janta excelentes. Cardápio variado.
Funcionários muito simpáticos e atenciosos.
Quarto excelente, muito confortável e espaçoso.
Deck da piscina muito legal, vimos até elefantes de lá.

Perfect stay to enjoy kruger Park ! We Will come back

Poolbar & Ausblick

Modernes Zimmer, tolles Abendessen, schöner Ausblick von einer der beiden Bars, direkt am Eingang des National Parks gelegen. Top Organisation!
