Unique Kruger Big 5 Safari Experience

The beauty of your stay at Kruger Gate Hotel is your incredible access to the Big 5 animals and game-rich reaches of the southern Kruger Park. We are situated on the bank of the Sabie River, less than a minute’s drive from the Paul Kruger Gate – a safe access point to the Park that offers the most direct route to the Skukuza Camp, known as the ‘Capital’ of the Kruger Park, and to the Skukuza Airport. Kruger is world-famous for its spectacular abundance of wildlife and outstanding safari experiences.

With a history dating back to 1898, the Kruger National Park is Africa’s second-oldest game reserve, and at almost 20 000 km2 (over 7500 sq mi) is one of the continent’s largest conservation areas. Kruger is world-famous for its spectacular abundance of wildlife and outstanding safari experiences. It is home to 147 species of large mammals, a greater diversity than any other game reserve in Africa. With 517 recorded avian species, Kruger is also a bird-watching paradise.

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.

This is our fourth visit to the Kruger Gate Hotel as a family. I travel internationally from the UK with work, and this hotel is my favourite worldwide. The setting is spectacular, the location is perfect, and the public areas are immersed in the environment with many areas in which to find peace and quiet. The staff are excellent, and the food is of very high quality. We self-drive the Kruger Park which is less than 5 minutes away. Overall, I can’t recommend this hotel enough. Go.

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!
