We want that of course, but also the chance to focus on life priorities such as our well-being. Too often, we can’t fit a massage or a relaxation treatment into our busy day-to-day schedules, and we’ve become increasingly reliant on holidays to focus on our health and self-care goals. So, even when we are planning to venture into the wilds of Africa, we are keen to find out if we can access spa treatments on safari.
Kruger Gate Hotel’s African Spa is one of the few top establishments offering luxury spa treatments near Skukuza, the Park’s largest rest camp. Situated right at Paul Kruger Gate, we are just 14 kilometres from Skukuza, known as the “Capital of the Kruger Park”, and just 40 kilometres from Hazyview. This means you can easily take time out from all the excitement and rigours of your safari to deeply relax at our tranquil African Spa overlooking the Sabie River.
Set on the riverbank, with tree-house treatment rooms elevated into the canopy of the riverine trees, our spa facilities include a mani and pedi lounge, a steam room, changing rooms, hot and cold showers, a refreshment station serving herbal teas, juice and water, and a boutique retail space featuring luxury African beauty products. Due to demand, we have recently added another couple’s spa treatment room, which has large picture windows and a private balcony overlooking the Sabie.
