Unique Kruger Big 5 Safari Experience

The beauty of your stay at Kruger Gate Hotel is your incredible access to the Big 5 animals and game-rich reaches of the southern Kruger Park. We are situated on the bank of the Sabie River, less than a minute’s drive from the Paul Kruger Gate – a safe access point to the Park that offers the most direct route to the Skukuza Camp, known as the ‘Capital’ of the Kruger Park, and to the Skukuza Airport. Kruger is world-famous for its spectacular abundance of wildlife and outstanding safari experiences.

Guest Reviews

We had an amazing stay at this hotel, which is located just next to the Kruger Gate entrance, making getting into the park for a game drive incredibly smooth.

The hotel is luxurious in every way—from the way it blends into nature to the spacious rooms, comfortable beds, and quality linens. Relaxing by the infinity pool overlooking the river was a highlight. The service was also absolutely top-notch.

Dinner at the Lapa Restaurant was incredible, featuring an impressive variety of food options, including game meats like crocodile and ostrich, and eight delicious flavors of ice cream.

I have been coming to the Kruger Gate hotel Since I was four years old and it has been the highlight of my year ever since.

My sister got married here and it was such an amazing wedding.

The views are incredible, the food is delicious and the rooms are impeccable. The comfiest beds I have ever slept in.

The staff are so friendly and welcoming. I have known Mishack since I was little and every time is so amazing to catch up with him. He went from making me vanilla milkshakes as a little kid to making me amazing cocktails as an adult. The last time I was there myself and my partner had a private dinner which was so amazing we had to have another! Zenda and Tsephe truly made it so special for us. The dinners in the Lapa is one my highlights as we always spot monkeys and sometimes if we are lucky a residential Genet. Samarina was so kind as to reserve a table for us every night at our favourite spot.

I could not recommend this place any higher as it truly is life changing!

An exceptional experience in a beautiful hotel. Staff went out of their way to make our stay a memorable one.

The rooms are beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean with comfortable beds, spacious living area, great en suite bathroom with wonderfully big showers.

Food was exceptional at the Lapa restaurant in the evening, with tables set around the fire pits and a fabulous array of local and international dishes to choose from at the buffet. Breakfast, served at the indoors restaurant, had everything you could imagine to the highest standard.

Overall, the ambience is what truly makes it; just amazing. 10 out of 10.

A hospedagem foi incrivel! O local surpreendeu nossas expectativas
As refeições muito fartas e variadas com opções pra vegetarianos inclusive
A limpeza do quarto foi das mais impecáveis que já tive . O transfer com Dion foi um programa a parte ele é extremamente atencioso, preocupado em se fazer entender e nos contou muitas coisas no trajeto do aeroporto ao hotel , como ele disse, foi nosso mini safari .
O parque fica muito proximo a um dos portões do Krueger . Usamos o serviço do SPA tb, as meninas são ótimas e muito atenciosas. Ficaria de novo c ctza nessa acomodação.
