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. With a history dating back to 1898, the Kruger National Park is Africa’s second-oldest game reserve, and at almost 20 000 km2 (over 7500 sq mi) is one of the continent’s largest conservation areas. Kruger is world-famous for its spectacular abundance of wildlife and outstanding safari experiences. It is home to 147 species of large mammals, a greater diversity than any other game reserve in Africa. With 517 recorded avian species, Kruger is also a bird-watching paradise.
