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.

We returned to Kruger Gate Hotel as a family (two adults, two children) for seven nights to celebrate two birthdays. Our second visit.

This is still our family favourite holiday location, even more so after a second visit.

I cannot imagine a much better place for a family holiday, couples getaway, or a solo traveller who wants to experience the highest quality and stress-free safari.

Some hopefully helpful details:

Location - directly on the edge of one of the best safari locations on earth, southern Kruger. You will see many of the \'big five\' from the hotel\'s pool area.

Staff/Atmosphere - everyone here is incredibly kind, helpful, and genuinely wants to make your stay as special as possible.

Safari - you MUST book game drives whilst you are here. We had four early morning private safaris, booked through the hotel, and one night safari booked directly with Kruger Park (they collect you from the Hotel).

Rooms - the rooms have recently been renovated and are very clean and comfortable. We had a family room which worked perfectly for four of us.

Food and drink - buffet breakfast and dinner are included in the room rate, both are excellent with lots of variety - South African themed with international alternatives too. Lunch and drinks are a la carte and are also excellent.

Value for money - just right. Everything here is high quality, but you can also enjoy yourself properly without having to worry too much about your bill at check out!

Cleanliness - perfect.

Noise level - you\'re surrounded by wildlife, so it\'s never silent (you wouldn\'t want it to be!), but it is definitely a very relaxing place to stay.

Some special mentions for some staff members:
 
EDGAR - we have been on safari many times, Edgar is the best guide we have ever experienced. We\'ve now had seven game drives with Edgar and every one has been spectacular. Ask for him when booking your safari.

MISHECK and ZENDA - nothing is too much trouble and they are lovely company if you want to learn more about life in this beautiful part of the world whilst enjoying some delicious poolside lunch or post-safari cocktails.

ALICK and NEO - wonderful dinner hosts in the open-air restaurant.

Overall, an amazing holiday destination.

Dit hotel is fantastisch qua ligging net aan de rand van het Krugerpark. De olifanten, buffels, zwijnen,.. komen tot aan de rand van het zwembad. Qua sfeer en gezelligheid is dit top! Vriendelijke mensen, uitstekende bediening. Een aanrader!
