I had a wonderful stay at the Kruger Gate Hotel. The room was very nice and very comfortable with a lot of storage. The breakfast was good and the dinner buffet outdoors was excellent with many different local dishes, and amazing ambience with the fire pits and the local singers as well as the hotel staff singing ‘happy birthday’ to guests. The game drives arranged though the hotel were amazing and we saw all the Big 5 and many of the other animals and birds as well. The spa was wonderful as well. The infinity pool and viewing deck are truly amazing. As the hotel borders the Kruger National Park, we were regularly visited by elephants, nyala, water buck, and some hippos as well as a croc could be seen. The truly amazing allure to this property, however, is the staff. I cannot say enough good things about everyone. Everyone made us feel welcome and well taken care of. Special requests were honored with diligence. I would definitely book this property again.

This has been such a special family holiday with the most memorable experiences. We’re blown away by the hospitality and overall atmosphere here. We are leaving with full hearts and so grateful! My eldest daughter said today was “the best day ever”, and we all felt that way!

After a week in lodges in remote areas, we really enjoyed our almost week-long stay at the Kruger Gate Hotel. While it\'s not a small safari lodge, it is a very nice hotel a short distance away from Kruger National Park. The hotel is also very beautiful architecturally.

For us, the Kruger Park was the best of both worlds - close to safari activities, but with the conveniences that a larger hotel has to offer. I have seen complaints in other reviews that it is a bit impersonal and packaged, but we did not feel that way at all. It is big - I think they told me there were 144 rooms - but the staff took great care of us during our stay.

Breakfasts and dinners are done buffet style. We thought the quality of the food was very good except for the desserts at dinner. Game drives arranged through the hotel were excellent. The hotel has some nice amenities, like a putt-putt course and tennis courts. We enjoyed our day at the spa, the highlight of which was getting up from my massage, looking out the window, and seeing an elephant maybe 30 meters away.

We would definitely stay here again.

We just want to thank everyone for the magic experience that you provide to us. Everyone was so kind and helpfull, from the people that works in the reception, to the people works in the facilities and, specially, Gibson, our safari guide. He was awesome, we saw how hard he tried to find the animals that we wanted to see. Just want to say thank you to everybody!

The hotel doesn’t feel or look like a hotel. It’s completely integrated into the scenery with big trees incorporated everywhere.

Como viajante só tenho a agradecer toda equipe.
Gostei de tudo no Kruger Gate Hotel.
Atendimento impecável e todos sempre muito simpáticos. A localização do hotel é sensacional, aproveitamos muito a proximidade do gate para o Safari, além disso podemos apreciar vários animais passando em frente do hotel. Inclusive, tem uma familia de hippos que vivem bem ali, pertinho.
O quarto estava impecável, com todo cuidado necessário com os viajantes. Recebemos capsulas de cafés todos os dias. A área comum do hotel também estava sempre limpa.
A comida nós amamos, tudo delicioso e fresco. Algo que chamou muito atenção foi o cuidado em alterar alguns pratos no dia seguinte, para que não seja sempre o mesmo tipo de comida, adorei!

Lage direkt am Krüger Nationalpark gelegen, man blickt vom Pool und den Terrassen auf den Park und das Krüger Gate, Tiere (u.a. Elefanten, Büffel, Flusspferde) kommen direkt bis an den Zaun, der Infinity Pool ist der Wahnsinn, ebenfalls die Frühstück- und Abendessenauswahl (Bedienung an verschiedenen Essenständen)

La location è incredibilmente bella. Una vista sul Kruger con elefanti e altri animali ai piedi della piscina. La palestra non era un buco con pochi attrezzi, ma una vera mini palestra! Il cibo di qualità molto alta. La stanza una meraviglia. Ovviamente non si paga poco

The buffets were the best I\'ve ever had and far exceeded any expectations. It was fun to see various animals around the property. The location is perfect for getting an early entry into the park. Everyone was very friendly and my family had a great time. Would definitely come back.
