Our stay at Kruger Gate Hotel was absolutely fantastic and far exceeded our expectations. Although it is officially a 4-star hotel, it truly delivers a 5-star experience.

The facilities are excellent, beautifully integrated into nature while still feeling luxurious and comfortable. Our chalet was spacious, cozy, and very well maintained. The hotel atmosphere is simply magical.

The three swimming pools are wonderful and perfect for relaxing after game drives. One of the highlights of the stay was definitely the breathtaking view over the Sabie River during dinner — watching hippos in the river while eating was an unforgettable experience.

The restaurant was also excellent overall. While the buffet itself was slightly below the standard of the rest of the hotel, it was still very enjoyable and absolutely worth it because of the amazing live attractions and atmosphere during dinner.

We would also like to give a special thank you to Donation from the reception team, who was exceptionally kind, professional, and welcoming throughout our stay.

The only negative point was our guide during the full-day game drive, but he was clearly very ill and even needed medical assistance afterward, so we truly believe this was an unfortunate exception and that the safari experience is normally much better.

Our stay was absolutely fantastic. We spent four nights at the hotel and enjoyed every single moment. The rooms were spacious, beautifully designed, and very comfortable. In general, the entire hotel complex impressed us with its tasteful architecture and the way it blends perfectly into the surrounding nature. Perhaps that is also why you can often spot harmless animals wandering around the property, which added to the unique atmosphere.

The food was excellent, with a wide variety of options to suit every taste. There was always something for everyone, and the entertainment offerings created a wonderful overall ambiance. What truly stood out was the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff throughout the entire resort — everyone made us feel genuinely welcome.

A special highlight was the pool deck overlooking the river, where animals could occasionally be seen nearby, making the experience even more memorable.

We also booked two full-day safaris directly through the hotel with the guides Culture and Chris. Both guides made the game drives incredibly entertaining and shared fascinating insights about the wildlife and the surrounding area. They always did their best to position us in the best spots for animal sightings, which made the game drives truly unforgettable. We never wanted the day to end.

Overall, we would book this hotel again without hesitation. We are certain this will not be our last visit.

Kruger Gate Hotel continues to offer the very best experience for those venturing into Kruger National Park - accommodation, facilities & service and especially the staff make this at top of the list. We atill meet the resident bushbuck and warthog, as well as ververt monkeys and baboons, wandering the grounds but this is part of the pleasure.

We booked a 3 night stay in their newly renovated luxury room and it was nothing short of fantastic. Its spacious, bright and clean. The property itself is beautiful, looks like a massive treehouse. Its also big and there are lots of areas to explore. Everything is neatly kept and clean. There is a little shop that is open into the evening incase you want snacks and drinks. It also has safari essentials like maps, info guides and binoculars. Breakfast and dinners were absolutely amazing. Its a nightly rotating menu with lots of classic South African foods. Everything from springbok, kudu, crocodile, pap and wors, bobotie, malva pudding. We opted for shuttle pick up and drop offs from the airport which was super easy. We also booked a guided safari one day, and rented a car for a self drive safari the following day. Being able to book both directly from the hotel was very very convenient. Would absolutely recommend this place to anyone and cant wait to visit again.

Perfektes Hotel am Kruger Gate. Die ganze Anlage war für uns ein Traum mit super schönen Blick von der Terrasse auf den Sabie River (mit Hippos). Hotel nicht ganz billig, aber günstiger als die mega teueren Lodges im Park. Preis war inkl. HP. Abendessen (Buffet) war hervorragend. Mit das beste was wir hatten. Auch das Frühstück war super. Draussen sitzen direkt am Busch. Zimmer modern eingerichtet (nicht unbedingt afrikanisch). Haben hier uns mal 2 Tage gegönnt und würden nächstesmal garantiert länger bleiben - Daumen hoch!! ;)

Couldnt recommend it hotel more! The location is perfect (just a few meters from Paul Gate) and it’s beautifully surrounded by nature (we were even welcomed by a family of elephants on the road as we arrived). The entire staff was incredibly kind and attentive. Breakfast was rich and delicious, and dinner was a true experience in itself, both because of the setting and the live music.
