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.

Guest Reviews

I had a amazing stay at this hotel. Being in the middle of the wildlife and seeing animals made this an unique experience! The hotel is located next to Kruger National Park which made it convenient and accessible for the safari tours.

The staff at this hotel were helpful with arranging safari tours and provided a delicious to go box lunch for early tours. My safari was with Kurt Safari which was amazing!

The restaurant staff were the highlight of my stay. They were absolutely amazing and kind! I sat at the same table every night and had the pleasure of having the best server! I don't remember her name, but she was very kind and attentive as I was traveling solo. The breakfast, lunch, and dinner at this hotel was phenomenal!

I ate so much during my stay as the hotel had a variety of food options! I had breakfast and dinner included, but they do have a bar near the pool that sells lunch as well.

I will always treasure my time at this hotel. It was one of the most unique hotel experiences of all of my travels so far! I would highly recommend!!

What an incredible experience! We initially checked out, but after reconsidering, we realised how special this place truly is — and we came back! That says everything.
From the warm hospitality to the attention to detail, everything exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere, cleanliness, and overall quality made us feel comfortable and relaxed from the moment we returned.
We are so glad we came back. Highly recommended — we will definitely return!

Localização excelente com vista para o Kruger Park. Chegamos no hotel por volta das 14h e no mesmo dia já observamos alguns animais direto da piscina do hotel como búfalo, hipopótamo, babuíno.
O quarto que ficamos era excelente, bastante amplo e com instalações modernas. Sugerimos se hospedar nesses quartos. O atendimento dos funcionários também é um diferencial, aqui fomos muito bem recebidos.

Nice and relaxed , even if it is a big hotel never had the \"holiday factory\" feeling. Lots of animal sighting from the pool area. Perfect combination of relaxed holiday and Kruger Park visits. Breakfast and diner are amazing with good food and so many choices!

Die Lage direkt am Paul Kruger Gate ist perfekt. Außerdem konnten wir an unserem Anreisetag vom Pool aus Elefanten sehen. Das war unglaublich!

Funcionários muito educados, muito receptivos e preocupados em auxiliar.
A área da piscina com a vista aos bichinho é algo fora da realidade.
Tinham bichinhos pela acomodação soltos ( maravilhoso)
O quarto era bem limpo, amplo. Banheiro tbm. Os cosméticos muito bons.
Café da manhã bem gostoso, mas precisam de exaustores.
Adorei os safáris.
