Family-friendly dining - something delicious for everyone

If you’re planning a Kruger Park family holiday, you are probably going to be wondering what the kids will eat while you’re far out in the bush.

Making sure there’s lots of choice for children, is a crucial aspect of family-friendly accommodation in and around the Kruger Park. For some families, travelling with small, picky eaters can be stressful, and that’s why our chefs have paid attention to curating menus that make Kruger safaris with us easier for parents! At Kruger Gate Hotel, we believe that great meals are the heart of unforgettable family moments. Our dining options are designed to cater to all ages and tastes, offering something delicious for everyone.

Start the day right at Kudyela – Breakfast is a treat at our Kudyela Restaurant, especially for little ones. Kids can enjoy a wide choice of fresh fruits, creamy yoghurts, and indulgent breakfast waffles drizzled with syrup. For heartier appetites, our hot breakfasts are made to order, ensuring everyone’s favourite morning meal is just the way they like it.

Evenings under the stars at the Lapa – Dinner is an adventure of its own at our Lapa Restaurant. Each evening, there are specially made kid-friendly options like good, simple pasta dishes and braai favourites. A top favourite with youngsters, and the young at heart, are our s’mores and roosterbroodjies grilled over the coals. There’s a wide array of desserts each evening, but our younger guests often prefer to finish off with a scoop, or two of our Chef’s homemade ice cream.

Flexible family dining – For a relaxed lunch around the family pool or a quiet evening in, our à la carte menu and in-room dining service include a dedicated kiddies’ menu as well as classics like sandwiches, burgers, and woodfired pizzas that are sure to please even the pickiest eaters.

Treats anytime at the coffee shop – Our all-day coffee shop is perfect for quick bites and indulgent snacks. Choose from a selection of freshly baked goods and sandwiches, ideal for a light family lunch or an on-the-go snack.

Private dining with a view over Kruger – For a truly special experience, opt for private family dining in one of our pods along the game-viewing deck. Enjoy a tailored menu while soaking in the sights and sounds of the Kruger wilderness.

We had a great stay at Kruger Gate Hotel. The location right next to the national park was really unique. At the pool bar and in the pool you can directly observe animals - unique for us.
Service, food also great.
Safaris were not booked through the hotel as we booked a guided trip through Tourcompass.

From the moment we stepped into Kruger Gate Hotel it was like stepping into paradise.
I cannot praise the staff enough, thoughtful cheerful very friendly, the catering staff presented a variety of beautiful dishes every day.
The facilities were brilliant, rooms were spacious with extremely comfortable beds. And the view from the pool area onto the safari park were amazing.
I would highly recommend Kruger Gate Hotel to anyone visiting South Africa, especially first time visitors wanting to experience the Safari Park.

We had a great experience at Kruger Gate Hotel. Since we made the reservation we felt that they were very kind and welcoming answering all our questions and support us. When we got here, Dion, the driver who took us from the airport was very nice and helped us to find the animals in our way to the hotel. The hotel has an excellent location and the Safari was perfect! Prince was our tour guide for the Safari and we also loved it. Staff are very friendly and kind. Cleaning is very good . It is a beautiful and big hotel. For sure I will come back!

The entire experience was dreamy, we had a wonderful time. Between game drives that were amazing, we enjoyed all the hotel’s amenities, and they all contributed to our amazing Safari experience. The room was great, and so was the spa and the gym. The food selection is very big and the pool has amazing view (we even had some elephants who visited!). The staff is amazing and very welcoming! Highly recommended.

I can\'t fault this place. Everything was amazing, from the rooms and facilities to the location, views and food. Seeing animals wander by whilst swimming in the infinity pool is just incredible.
