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.

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.
