The 6 x 12 metre extension, completed in December 2024, adds extra seating and shade, making it even easier to relax between game drives.
The deck now features three new umbrellas and eight additional pool loungers, allowing for a more comfortable and spacious setting. Overlooking the Sabie River, this is one of the hotel’s most popular spots, offering a front-row seat to wildlife activity. From here, guests can often see elephant, antelope, and other animals at the water’s edge while enjoying a drink from the pool bar. With the African bush as the backdrop, the pool deck is also an ideal place to watch the sun set.
“The Pool Deck and Viewing Bar has always been one of the most popular areas of the hotel, offering guests a place to relax while enjoying incredible views of the Sabie River,” says Miguel Farinha, Hotel Manager of Kruger Gate Hotel. “With this upgrade, we’ve created more space and comfort, ensuring that every guest has the perfect spot to take in the beauty of the Kruger National Park.”
