Kruger, a perfect destination for memorable corporate events & meetings

Experience-first events is a major global trend for the events industry in 2024.

Companies and their event organisers are looking for unique, immersive experiences that engage their attendees and deliver ROI. One of the best ways to achieve this is to choose a sensational destination like Kruger Gate Hotel that provides an undeniable WOW-factor setting, a world away from the humdrum of corporate life.

A nature-based destination such as the Kruger Gate Hotel provides the perfect contrast for your next inspiring corporate event. With luxury, lodge-style accommodation set in the lush woodlands on the Sabie riverbank, your attendees are transported far from the typical, monotonous city events venue. Surrounded by pristine bushveld, with easy access into the wilds of the iconic Kruger National Park, you’ve already set the stage for an unforgettable, immersive experience just by your choice of venue.

To arrive at Kruger Gate Hotel for your corporate event is to step completely away from urban life with its frenetic speeds and spiralling pressures and be fully present in a place of deep tranquillity and exquisite beauty. There’s a spontaneous mind shift that happens that opens attendees up to new possibilities and to connecting with others in more meaningful ways.  It fosters engagement, ignites creative thinking and provides innovative contexts for critical thinking and problem-solving.

Today’s corporate meetings and events often include contrived elements of well-being, but at Kruger Gate Hotel, wellness is infused throughout the experience. From taking pleasure in the plush comforts of your modern hotel room and relaxing in the quiet zone of our Pool Bar & Viewing Deck to savouring healthy, delicious meals; from the thrill of going on private safari game drives into Kruger’s Big 5 territory to being pampered at our tree-top African Spa, your attendees will rest, restore and reconnect with themselves and others.

Getting corporate groups to Kruger Gate Hotel

We are situated right at the Paul Kruger Gate of the Kruger National Park in Mpumalanga. This is the closest gate to Skukuza Camp, the “Capital of the Park”. For corporate events groups that wish to fly in, there are regular flights to both Skukuza Airport and Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport, and we offer airport transfer services. There is also a helipad on the property for executives wanting to fly in. Many event groups choose to self-drive, and the hotel is a comfortable 5-and-a-half-hour drive from Johannesburg. You can find directions and a map on our website here. The self-driving option opens up opportunities for your group to take the scenic, panorama route traversing the Drakensberg Escarpment and explore some of the other attractions in the region including the Mac Mac Falls, Blyde River Canyon, God’s Window, Bourke’s Luck Potholes and Pilgrim’s Rest. For more information on the Panorama self-drive route, read our blog here.

Corporate teams on safari

One of the great highlights of your group’s stay with us will be the safari game drives into the game-rich southern regions of the Kruger National Park. We’re so close by that it takes under a minute’s drive from the hotel to reach the Park’s Paul Kruger Gate. Corporate groups tend to prefer booking private Kruger safari drives so you can keep your team together for this awesome, bonding experience. Every day, we operate morning, afternoon and all-day safaris in open-air vehicles with knowledgeable rangers. You can find out more about our exclusive Kruger Gate safaris here.

Corporate dinners and gala occasions

Kruger Gate Hotel has a choice of stunning venues when it comes to bringing your group together for private lunches and dinners:

  • The expansive Nkoveni venue with elevated views over the Sabie River is ideal for exclusive corporate celebrations such as launches, receptions and awards dinners.
  • The unique River Boma is set within the Kruger National Park in the Sabie riverbed and a ranger always accompanies guests as close encounters with wildlife are expected. Rustic and picturesque, with river sand underfoot, this is an authentic open-air African cultural space available for private corporate dining. The River Boma is an extraordinary venue for Kruger-themed occasions, bringing teams and colleagues together to make special memories.
  • A smaller private dining pod for small corporate groups of up to 10 people is available along our Viewing Deck which runs along our stretch of the Sabie River. This venue includes a kitchenette where your dedicated chef prepares and serves dinner.

Local artists such as marimba bands, African dance troupes and choirs are available to provide authentic, immersive experiences at our corporate functions. Our dedicated events staff will be on hand to support your choices of venues, entertainment and menus, co-ordinate each aspect of your programme and ensure that your group enjoys a time to remember.

My husband and I have never been on a safari and after doing a lot of research we settled on the Kruger Gate Hotel. The service experienced was 10/10 absolutely attentive, from the moment we arrived the stay was nothing short of incredible. Rhandzu made our stay a memorable one he was personable, and always remembered the details. It was lovely to chat with him at the end of a busy day, aside from the impeccable service - the property was absolutely stunning. The amenities were fresh, clean and inviting ! We spent lots of time at the infinity pool, where we saw buffalo as well as a mom and baby elephants. We also visited the spa where we had a couples treatment that was amazing - so amazing I fell asleep. They also had a convenience / souvenir store onsite, a coffee shop and games like chess and mini golf. I will definitely be coming back!

We had an absolutely amazing experience at KGH!
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The hotel itself is top-notch, with stunning views and a fantastic ambiance, especially at night.
A huge shoutout to the ladies at the spa - they provided exceptional treatment and made us feel truly welcome. Thanks to the entire team at KGH for making our stay so special!
Thank you

O hotel é lindo, a comida maravilhosa e o atendimento de toda a equipe foi incrível! Também amamos os safaris, principalmente pela duração mais longa do que eu via em outros lugares, porque isso proporcionou irmos para áreas mais distantes no parque. Pretendo voltar com certeza!! Esse hotel vai fazer parte das lembranças da viagem mais maravilhosa da minha vida!

We loved Kruger Gate Hotel so much we came back again spontaneously and booked an even more expensive room! The staff were exceptional - helpful, playful (hello cheeky lady;) and efficient. The booked safari was next level as safari drivers share intel on animal locations so travelers see more and ours shared stories and information about the animals that you don’t get on a self drive. We now know how the myth of the elephant’s graveyard came about. Incredible. Loved the chalet we stayed on first night. Great design. Especially the mudroom, outdoor private showers and shared chalet pool. Mmmmmmmm

De gerenoveerde kamers zijn prachtig, het ontbijt fantastisch en het diner in de boma een echt feest.
Het uitzicht over de crocodile river is geweldig en de afstand naar de gate perfect.
Het vriendelijke personeel wat ons welkom terug heette met een grote lach (waren hier zeven jaar geleden ook) en voor ons gaat dit zeker niet de laatste keer zijn in dit fijne hotel! We gaan eind half oktober weer 🥰

Wir hatten einen rundum perfekten Aufenthalt im Krüger Gate Hotel. Schon die vorab gebuchte Abholung vom Flughafen verlief reibungslos.
Die Mitarbeiter waren jederzeit freundlich, zuvorkommend und aufmerksam

Unser Zimmer war komfortabel, und die gesamte Anlage ist wunderschön und lädt zum Wohlfühlen ein.

Besonders hervorzuheben ist das abendliche Buffet, das mit seiner Vielfalt und Qualität absolut überzeugt hat – auch für Vegetarier gab es eine große Auswahl. Das Frühstück war ebenso ausgezeichnet. Die abendliche Atmosphäre mit Feuerstelle und teils musikalischer Begleitung war außergewöhnlich und gleichzeitig angenehm unaufdringlich.

Ein absolutes Highlight war unser vorab gebuchtes Boma Dinner mit privatem Dining – kulinarisch hervorragend und sehr stimmungsvoll. Ein besonderer Dank an Excellent :) Ein schönes Erlebnis war das phantastische Geburtstagsständchen, das uns unvergesslich bleiben wird.

Auch die Safari-Ausflüge ( ein Highlight) ließen sich unkompliziert buchen. Wir unternahmen eine Ganztagessafari sowie eine Nachmittags-Safari. Bei der Ganztagessafari gab es morgens vor der Abfahrt einen Kaffee und zusätzlich eine Lunchbox für unterwegs.

Fazit: Wir können das Krüger Gate Hotel uneingeschränkt empfehlen und würden bei einem erneuten Besuch im Krüger Nationalpark definitiv wieder hier übernachten.

Schöner Blick in den Park. 2min Fahrzeit zum Paul Kruger Gate. Geführte Safaris einfach über das Hotel buchbar (am besten vor der Reise anfragen). Super freundliches Personal. Eine unglaubliche Auswahl an Speisen zum Abendessen und Frühstück.

Hôtel juste incroyable !
La piscine offre un panorama sublime, les chambres sont propres et vraiment agréables, et le personnel est au top, que ce soit pour le safari ou au sein de l’établissement. Le petit-déjeuner est très bon, et le buffet du soir aussi (seuls les desserts étaient un peu décevants). L’endroit est luxueux, calme et parfait pour profiter du cadre exceptionnel du Kruger.
