Relaxing spa treatments near Skukuza

In today’s frenetic world, our holiday time is not just about going to new places and seeing new things.

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.

We offer Kruger Spa packages specially curated for romantic and honeymoon couples, for men, moms-to-be, moms and little ones, and for those who want to experience a unique African Spa journey.

From the moment we stepped into Kruger Gate Hotel it was like stepping into paradise.
I cannot praise the staff enough, thoughtful cheerful very friendly, the catering staff presented a variety of beautiful dishes every day.
The facilities were brilliant, rooms were spacious with extremely comfortable beds. And the view from the pool area onto the safari park were amazing.
I would highly recommend Kruger Gate Hotel to anyone visiting South Africa, especially first time visitors wanting to experience the Safari Park.

We had a great experience at Kruger Gate Hotel. Since we made the reservation we felt that they were very kind and welcoming answering all our questions and support us. When we got here, Dion, the driver who took us from the airport was very nice and helped us to find the animals in our way to the hotel. The hotel has an excellent location and the Safari was perfect! Prince was our tour guide for the Safari and we also loved it. Staff are very friendly and kind. Cleaning is very good . It is a beautiful and big hotel. For sure I will come back!

Wonderful hotel with an excellent viewing terrace to watch the comings and goings of the local wildlife...1st day, we spotted an a bush elephant and nile crocodile, with so many different species of antelopes at the waters edge. Food excellent and rooms very spacious. The staff were so helpful.

The entire experience was dreamy, we had a wonderful time. Between game drives that were amazing, we enjoyed all the hotel’s amenities, and they all contributed to our amazing Safari experience. The room was great, and so was the spa and the gym. The food selection is very big and the pool has amazing view (we even had some elephants who visited!). The staff is amazing and very welcoming! Highly recommended.

Na porta do Paul Kruger Gate, staff cordial, quarto confortável, comida deliciosa, e vista para a savana que permite ver bem pertinho a vida selvagem do viewing deck do hotel (vimos girafas, elefantes, hipopótamos, impalas, macaquinhos, sem precisar sair do hotel).

Staff were excellent, dinner in the Lapa was amazing with so many options. The pool overlooking the Sabi riverbed was especially great. We spotted a number of different wildlife including hippos and elephants whilst enjoying our morning coffee.

I can\'t fault this place. Everything was amazing, from the rooms and facilities to the location, views and food. Seeing animals wander by whilst swimming in the infinity pool is just incredible.
