How to make the most of a Kruger ‘bleisure’ experience

Mixing business with pleasure is evolving, and that’s good for both employers and employees. 

Instead of trying to carve out a little personal time during a packed conference or meeting, business travellers are rather adding on an extra day or a weekend so that they can enjoy the destination their way.

Some opt to make their bleisure days designated holiday time, while others stay on and keep working remotely while they fit in exploring the highlights that the destination has to offer them personally. Many bleisure travellers choose to fly in their partner or family so they can share the destination with their loved ones. All it takes is a little planning.

At Kruger Gate Hotel, our bleisure guests may have come to an onsite meeting or event, or they may have just been in the Kruger/Mombela area for business and chose to come relax with us.

What you can expect from a bleisure experience at Kruger Gate Hotel

  • It’s easy to relax – After an intense business meeting or event, it’s natural to need a little time and space to decompress. Taking an extra day or a weekend in a beautiful, natural surrounding is the perfect way to reset. Whether you’re taking in the magnificence of Kruger on a game drive, visiting a nearby cultural village, relishing a spa treatment or lounging at the Pool Deck, you’ll feel refreshed and enlivened.
  • It’s easy to work remotely, if you need to – Fast, free WI-FI and comfortable remote workspaces means that you can seamlessly blend work and pleasure. All our rooms include an ergonomic workstation but there are also other delightful options such as the laptop counter and plug-in stations on our Pool Deck, the pods on the Viewing Deck, the all-day coffee shop and the lounge and deck areas of the Shilovo Bar.
  • It’s easy to dine well over an extended stay – Breakfasts at our Kudyela restaurant offer a wide range of choices every day, while our extensive dinner feast menus at the Lapa Restaurant rotate every five days. There are plenty of lunch and light meal options on our in-room dining menu, and to-go choices at the all-day coffee shop. A favourite with guests is the à la carte menu served at our Pool Bar, which includes freshly crafted wood-fired pizzas, salads and other gourmet fare.
  • It’s easy to get around, and to fly in and out – our bleisure guests can hire a car from our reception if they choose, but many prefer to book our morning and afternoon guided game drives in open safari vehicles. We offer airport transfers to and from Kruger International Airport outside of White River, the nearby Skukuza Airport and the more northerly Hoedspruit Eastgate Airport. This makes it easy for your family or partner to fly in and join you for your well-deserved bleisure days.

Guest Reviews

Kruger Gate Hotel was one of the best resort experiences I have ever had. Not only are you on the doorstep of kruger, the wildlife permeates through the place by walking through it contantly (the non dangerous ones!). The hotel itself is well kept/looks good and is filled with leafy trees. The infinity pool looking out over the river is fantastic and you are bound to see many Animals from there alone.

The staff are all great people. Lawrence and so many countless others always went out of their way to help me whenever they could, even setting us up with things for other parts of our trip at no benefit to them.

A bank of memories with good people!

Perfectly located on the Sabie river surrounded by game reserves, right next to 1 of the main entrance gates to the Kruger National Park. Beautiful outlay on wooden decks / walkways surrounded by lush vegetation and trees. 1 indoor restaurant and 1 outdoor restaurant shape in a boma. Rated 4 star hotel but the food variety and quality is close to 5 star. 2 outdoor swimming pools with one overlooking the river and big game that may wonder upclose. Game drives can be booked any time of day and a gym is also available Romantic, peaceful and good value

What a truly beautiful hotel. We loved watching the hippos in the river from the infinity pool, and every dinner around the open fire was absolutely wonderful.
We spent three unforgettable days on safari with Enock, who completely made the experience for us. His knowledge is exceptional, he answered every question with ease and enthusiasm. He went above and beyond to ensure our safari was everything we hoped for and more.

Thanks to Enock for amazing 3 day Safari with my family. He was so much fun and his knowledge was incredible teaching us a lot while making us feel very safe.
His experience showed with him been able to spot out the smallest signs of animals, allowing us to see 4 of the big 5, among many other animals.
Thanks Enock.

From great service, an amazing safari and a great hotel in general, this place is definitely worth it.

Would love to come back in the next few years.

Enoch was an incredible safari guide. He was so knowledgable and made us feel very safe. He could spot animals without a camera or binoculars that we hadn’t been able to see! He knew lots of information about the animals and local area. He was also extremely respectful to the animals.

The hotel is magnificent! It has a lovely feel about it, and the buffet breakfast and dinner is the best.

Equipe atenciosa, quarto amplo, confortável e bem decorado. Recepção e áreas comuns aconchegantes e bem decoradas. Excelente café da manhã e jantar. Um lanche para quem está indo para o Safari antes das 6 da manhã fez toda diferença.

There was the paradox of it being very African but very chic! Lovely facility

L’emplacement est superbe à la frontière du parc Kruger, face a la rivière où nous avons pu observer hippopotames, antilopes et même un éléphant traverser, tout en étant au bord de la très belle piscine. Chambre bien décorée et très propre et nombreux services pour rendre l’expérience très agréable. Un plaisir de revenir de safari dans l’établissement !
