The Place Where the Sun Rises

Kruger Gate Hotel is situated in Mpumalanga in the eastern region of South Africa which shares borders with Mozambique and Swaziland, as well as the provinces of Limpopo, Gauteng, Free State and KwaZulu-Natal. Mpumalanga is home to the game-rich southern territory of the iconic Kruger National Park, and its Capital city is Mbombela. The province has two airports serving visitors to the Kruger Park – Kruger Mbombela International Airport which is an hour’s drive from Kruger Gate and Skukuza Airport located in the Park, just a 20 minute drive. The climate is sub-tropical due to the proximity of the Indian Ocean. Mountain ranges include the Drakensberg and the Lebombo Mountains. Major Mpumalanga that traverse the Kruger Park are the Sabie, Sand and Crocodile Rivers.

Great location, great service, and cost. The buffet it’s been one of the best I ever had for breakfast and dinner! You can reserve private and shared safari at the hotel.

Bonus tip: We used our credit card points for this stay!

Há 100 metros do portão para entrar no Kruger. NÃO fica dentro do parque porém está bem próximo. Da piscina você vê os animais dentro do parque. Hotel excelente.

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.

This hotel was incredible - exceeded all expectations and the staff were so incredible. Specially, our game driver, Famous Amos, made our trip as special as it was. His knowledge, kindness, and spirit was spectacular. Highly recommend booking a game drive with him!

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.

The hotel is great and just 1 min from the gate. From the pool bar you can see elephants, hippos and impalas. They have an area for kid with games and mini golf

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.
