Where we are & how to get to us

The Kruger National Park is a vast wilderness refuge that spans eastern regions of both Mpumalanga and Limpopo Provinces.

There are 9 South African entrance gates to the southern, central and northern areas of the Park.

The Paul Kruger Gate is one of the 5 entrances situated in Mpumalanga giving visitors easy access to the southern and central reaches of the Park. From the nearest town, Hazyview, it is a 48-kilometre drive by tarred road to the Paul Kruger Gate; and the ‘Capital of the Kruger National Park’, Skukuza Camp is just 20 kilometres away.

Kruger Gate Hotel is located on the banks of the Sabie River, right at the Paul Kruger Gate, and is reached easily by road from Johannesburg in around 5 – 6 hours via two routes:

  • N4 to Mbombela (formerly Nelspruit); R40 to Hazyview; S1 to Paul Kruger Gate – 460km
  • N4 to Belfast; R540 to Dullstroom & Lydenburg; R37 to Sabie; R536 to Hazyview, S1 to Paul Kruger Gate – 470km

Many of our guests choose to fly in, and Kruger Gate Hotel provides airport transfers to and from the following airports:

Skukuza International Airport, Mpumalanga – 20km

Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport Mpumalanga – 95km

Hoedspruit Airport, Limpopo – 124km

OR Tambo International Airport, Gauteng – 430km

Car hire is available at our hotel reception for self-driving safaris, and we also operate daily open-vehicle, guided Kruger safaris which include morning, all-day and afternoon game drives.

Guest Reviews

Amazing stay, food, decor, amenities, rooms were great and would love to stay here again. Safari was also amazing with a great guide, Culture. Conveniently located 1min away from the Paul Kruger Gate. Highly recommend staying here.

The Kruger Gate experience was absolutely fabulous experience for the whole family. Our only regret was that we didn\'t stay long enough (4 days). Kruger gate Hotel deserves a 7 day visit. Next time we visit it will be for 7 days or more :)

Honestly, a trip of a lifetime. The hotel is beautiful and sits in a natural environment with animals around like monkeys, baboons and deer. The staff are equally as fantastic and go out of their way to help you and make you have the best experience.

The pool next to the bar is something to behold as you will often see animals at watering holes just the other side of the pool - we saw elephants, giraffes and zebras whilst having a swim. An incredibly experience. I couldn\'t recommend this hotel enough and can\'t actually fault it in anyway. This hotel is not a glitzy 5 star city hotel, it is a 5 star safari hotel with everything you would possibly need for a fantastic break.

There are 2 swimming pools on site that are immaculate, there are tennis courts and mini golf for some down time too. At the mini golf you will be joined by some extra visitors in warthogs and monkeys which just add to the fun of it all.

We booked our Safari through Tour Compass and I have to give a special mention to John, our driver and safari expert. He was just the best, so knowledgeable and understanding and helped us throughout our week stay to spot the big 5 and much much more. If it is a safari experience you are looking for then this is the place to go.

Wonderful hotel near the gate kruger.
We had a quadruple room, spacious as well as beds. The hotel is perfectly set in the natural setting. In the morning we were woken up by the frantic baboons that were also present in the pool area: beautiful. There we also enjoyed the spectacular sunsets. Great food and there is so much variety, possibility to taste local meats such as crocodile or antelope.
We stayed two nights, wish we could have stayed more time.

We booked this hotel based on reviews and online photos, and it exceeded all expectations. Having stayed at many all-inclusive resorts and boutique properties, we can confidently say this was one of the very best. The stay was outstanding — from the cleanliness and comfort to the food, services, and overall hospitality.
As vegetarians, we were pleasantly surprised by the exceptional food options provided, thanks to the combined efforts of our tour operator and the hotel management. The staff went above and beyond to cater to our requirements, always with warmth and genuine care.
A special mention goes to Simon, Pholecy, and Johannes, who gave wonderful attention to all our food requests. Their cordial and friendly service made our experience truly memorable.
We highly recommend this property for anyone visiting Kruger National Park — it’s the perfect place to relax, enjoy, and feel at home.
