Guest Reviews

This property is a must if you are visiting Kruger. It’s very clean and the breakfast and dinner were delicious! There are many animals found right on the property. Sarah surprised us with a wonderful gift in our room for our anniversary and our friend’s rooms as well. We also booked a safari with the hotel and saw the big 5. If you are reading this, book now and you will not regret it.

Right from the beginning, we were assisted and welcomed with warmth and professionalism by Relax, Sarah, Nolwazi, and their incredible teams. Every aspect of our stay was thoughtfully curated and delivered with genuine care.

The rooms were beautifully prepared, offering comfort and elegance. The food was absolutely delicious — every meal a delight! The game drives were exciting and well-organized, giving us unforgettable moments in nature. And the spa… what a treat! The service throughout was consistently warm, attentive, and heartfelt.

We are so grateful for the time, effort, and hospitality that went into making this trip so special. Thank you for creating such a memorable experience — we’ll cherish it always!

An exceptional trip at the Kruger Gate Hotel.
We were a family of nine for a great one-week stay with three safari days.
Upon arrival, we had a few technical issues with one of our rooms, but the hotel quickly managed to fix the situation.
The entire staff is amazing, everyone is very kind, but a special thanks goes to the guest manager, Sarah, who was truly wonderful and really made our week extraordinary.
Everything at the hotel is very well managed, the beds and rooms are very comfortable.
The food is excellent, and I especially recommend the private dinner, which is an incredible experience to share with family.
The safaris are very well organized, and if you’re lucky, you might even see a lion (or six).
We leave with stars in our eyes and the memory of a dream trip.
Once again, thank you to all the staff, and especially to Sarah, for her kindness and outstanding professionalism.

Spent 3 nights here.. Its a huge hotel with over 400 rooms if im not wrong.. very clean place.. It a 1 min drive from PaulKruger Gate to the Kruger National Park..
Room was nice.. if you are elderly and don wanna take the stairs gor the the \'\'2\'\' rooms.. Our room was on the first floor beside the swimming pool.. Was big and had a sofa as well.. TV programs were not so good..
Awesome breakfast and dinner buffets.. nice wide spread.. all that was tried were simply very every tasty.. breakfast n dinner are at two different restaurants.. they are next to each other.. Dinners variety is very very good.. friendly staff.. There is a viewing deck where if youare lucky you can see animals at the sabie river.. we managed to see elephants and deers..
We tried the inhouse couple massage. 3-4 hours.. was amazing.. Thehotel has a mini golf course and the chest board to play.. Staff were vrey friendly and accomodating to any request..

In short i htink this hotel everyone would want if they were to the park.. Awesome place will return if im back there

This was our second stay at the Kruger Gate hotel - every bit as excellent as the first. Rooms are spotless, beautifully maintained, tastefully decorated and spacious, with lots of storage , power points and lighting options; beds are very comfortable.

Every member of staff we encountered, from housekeeping and cleaning crew to waitstaff, spa therapists and reception were incredibly helpful and professional.

The food included in their dinner bed and breakfast rate is still excellent value - constantly freshly made and replenished and of a far, far higher standard than is usual for a hotel buffet. Cocktails, bar drinks and food are similarly delicious (and staggeringly good value!)

The gardens and walkways are lovely, and the infinity pool was a delight. I was pleasantly surprised by the temperature when I dipped my foot in the water on the very sunny August day we arrived - but disappointingly, the the weather was too cool for me to get in the next day! Still, spending hours on the deck there watching the animal drama quietly unfold in front of us while lunching and eventually moving on to their delicious cocktails was a joy regardless

The moment we arrived at the Kruger Gate Hotel, we were enchanted with the construction. The walkways.. the lights at night….
And the drama all added to the ambience. I opened my window and saw monkeys swinging from the trees behind my room! This is not forgettable! Variety at the buffet was insane!
Our servers were anxious to please, the next morning we went on a safari very early, and it was just about walking distance from the hotel! I never expected this. The minute we entered the park our vehicle was surrounded by elephants. And that was just the beginning. This was the experience of a lifetime. We were with Gate One, which is a leading tour company, and as we were leaving the resort, the operations manager approached me. I can’t remember her name.- She was charming.- as was every single person that we met. We promised her to fill out the survey form, which I just did. I would not hesitate to trust everything about the Kruger Gate hotel!

We loved our stay at Kruger Gate. The location is fantastic and our overall experience was amazing. Our kids loved the pool and the wildlife around the hotel. The viewing deck brought us up close and personal with elephants. The facilities and food at dinner and breakfast were excellent and the hospitality were received was world class! One of my highlights was the birthday song the restaurant staff sang to me at dinner. We will definitely go back.

Everything you need for a great safari in a great location is at this property. We hope to be able to come again. The breakfast and lunch are excellent with a great selection. The rooms and entire resort are clean and there is wildlife everywhere at the property.

We found Kruger Gate Hotel to be above our expectations, they were really accommodating, and the accommodations were beautiful, clean and with a clear attention to detail. The entire resort provides a great atmosphere for relaxation, rejuvenation and being an excellent location for entry into Kroger. We would definitely recommend this to others, especially those who only have one day, like it\'s, so they can afford the price and make their one night stay extremely worthwhile!

Our stay at Krüger Gate Hotel was simply wonderful. The service was excellent from start to finish, and the entire team made us feel very welcome. We had a private dinner with our server Excellent, who was not only extremely friendly but also very professional and attentive – a true highlight of our trip. On my birthday, the staff surprised me by singing a birthday song together, which made the evening incredibly special. Highly recommended!

Everything was absolutely wonderful.
The room was spacious, tastefully decorated, and very clean. The bed was extremely comfortable. The safaris we booked were simply amazing, and the guides put in great effort to spot all the animals. The organization and the overall flow were excellent. The outdoor area was really beautiful, but the best part was the food. The buffet left nothing to be desired and everything was delicious.

For my daughter’s birthday, we had a private dining experience – the service was outstanding, and Excellent made the evening truly special for us. The crew was fantastic – they sang Happy Birthday, and their voices were just incredible. It was an unforgettable stay!

It’s a beautiful property with very friendly and attentive employees. The lighting is warm and inviting and the resort feels like a huge treehouse with wildlife everywhere. The property even went above and beyond helping us to celebrate our anniversary.
