Great experience ever
Kruger Gate Hotel is a magical place for a safari adventure! Let me start by saying that because of all the services Kruger Gate Hotel offers, we were able to plan a perfect safari experience for our family. In fact, once I found Kruger Gate Hotel, the trip almost planned itself. Its airport transport service made getting to and from Skukuza Airport so simple. From there, our adventure began. We booked three private guided safaris through the hotel – a full day, a morning, and an afternoon safari –and each was amazing. Justice (of Kurt Safari) was our guide each day and had an amazing ability to spot animals, including elephants, giraffes, buffalo, impalas, nyalas, waterbucks, wildebeests, warthogs, and hyenas, as well as the elusive big cats and rhinos. Just as amazing was the hotel itself – the perfect place for relaxing in between safaris. From its infinity pool one afternoon, we saw a herd of elephants, including baby elephants. Another day, there was a giraffe, and on our final day hippos in the distance. The hotel architecture was charming – a safari resort with all the modern amenities, and the staff was so welcoming. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. And the food was delicious – the best breakfast and dinner buffets I’ve ever experienced. Don’t miss the omelet station for breakfast, and the dinner selections (appetizer, main course, and dessert) were outstanding, all in a lovely outdoor setting. Remember to bring ear plugs because the baboons in the distance can make a sound that wakes you up. The trip of a lifetime!
I stayed at this hotel via nhlalala travel to join a two-days safari in Kruger National Park. It really faces Kruger National Park. It's a really wonderful hotel with a view of the Kruger grounds from the pool and terrace restaurant.
I was surprised that the hotel was cleaner and better equipped than I expected.
It took about 5.5 hours by car from Johannesburg airport.
The hotel room was spacious, had a bathtub, and was literally comfortable. Dinner was buffet style, and I was satisfied with the variety of dishes. There was also a show-like thing going on, which was very exciting. There was a barbecue? bonfire? so be careful after a shower as it smelled.
The next morning we left at 5:30, so they prepared a breakfast pack for us, which we were able to eat during the safari break.
It was a really wonderful hotel, and next time I would like to stay longer and enjoy the safari. I highly recommended it.
I would like to recommend the service of Mr. Excellent at the Pool bar.
He was so nice and helpful. We enjoyed every meal.
My experience at this hotel was very good it was a nice hotel i stayed for 2 weeks at the hotel with my parents. There were some very nice people like Gibson, Karabo, Enoch, Enzo, Aleck, Freedom, Lucia, Dzunisani and Dion! Dion was verry good at driving and spotting he realy deserves it to be a ranger thats also he ‘s dream. The massage was also very good I had a Nice treatment with a manicure! So the hotel deserves 5 stars⭐️!
Visited Kruger Gate Hotel for a big birthday, along with many family and friends. Firstly the resort is amazing in every aspect - watching a leopard, elephants and hyenas from the infinity pool blew us away. The rooms were all spacious and clean, we stayed in the Nkanyi suite which was beyond our wildest expectations- it comes with a private butler (Lawrence) who went out of his way to ensure the whole group had the most magical time. I can’t put into words how impressed we all were with him, he even helped arrange our activities in Cape Town (our next stop on the trip) and was always on hand to make everything smooth and enjoyable.
This visit exceeded all expectations, safari guide Dan was part comedian part animal guru and helped us find a leopard on 3 out of 3 trips as well as the rest of the big 5 and much more (including 12 lions feasting on a rhino)
All in all I can’t rate this hotel and team highly enough, but special mention to Lawrence who made this trip so memorable

High level structure but something DA improve given the price paid there is... The led lights above the bed that do not go out and it seems day even at night, I had asked for support but no one arrived. The staff who veiledly help you with everything to get tips is annoying, especially on a hotel of this level.
Finally the internal safari decidedly lower than that with the park guides. However the overall experience is excellent.
El hotel es una excelente opción para visitar el Parque Kruger. Ubicado a pocos metros de la Puerta Paul Kruger, es ideal para quienes visitan por primera vez el Parque. Sus instalaciones son impecables y tienen todas las comodidades. Mención aparte para los Safaris que se pueden agendar en el propio hotel.
Jantar único.
The location is really nice - bordering Kruger National Park on the river near the Kruger gate entrance where you get nice views of animals during the day especially. Good range of facilities, very nice breakfast and great supper\'s. The staff were really helpful and good. The rooms are not very special, but they are more than adequate. Overall we had a fantastic stay.
Equipe muito atenciosa, principalmente os funcionarios do Guest Relations, Sarah e Simpewhee.
Hotel muito bem localizado, quarto limpo e bem espaçoso. De frente para o Kruger Park e de facil acesso vindo de Joanesburgo de carro. Estrada tambem muito boa.
Food excellent, lovely hotel well located
Great location with views of the river and the wandering animals
La ubicación justo en la entrada del Kruger, la habitación deluxe era increíble y el desayuno y las cenas muy buenos.
