Thanks to the management at Kruger Gate Hotel for assisting us when our plans went completely wrong! Thanks for taking care of us.

We had the most incredible and unforgettable stay at Kruger Gate Hotel.

The hotel is ideally positioned close to the Kruger Park gate. We did two full day shared safaris and managed to see the big five which was amazing. Both our guides were fantastic and so knowledgeable. They communicated with others from the hotel to track down lions on our second day which we really appreciated as that was the last of the big five we wanted to see. We were really lucky to see a leopard and a rhino on our very first safari day. We also saw a whole host of other animals and it’s truly an experience that completely exceeded our expectations and we’ll never forget it. We recommend the full day option!

The hotel was also lovely. We used the gym a few times and it was clean and fully equipped. The room was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. We loved the pool bar and viewing deck and managed to spot elephants, monkeys and hippos whilst enjoying a drink here. Dinner was also fantastic, with plenty of options and provided opportunity to try traditional South African cuisine which we loved. The staff were super friendly and helpful and we would recommend a stay here to anyone visiting Kruger.

Amazing hotel. Highly recommend staying here. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Breakfast and dinner are amazing, with a mixture of South African, European and American food. You won’t be disappointed. The biggest perk is watching animals in Kruger park right from the pool!

Fantastic location and the boma was great

An experience of a lifetime from the moment we were greeted at reception.
Our chalet was perfect for our 5 night\'s stay. Staff couldn\'t do enough to be pleasant and helpful. spending time each afternoon on the viewing deck overlooking the river with a drink in hand was an afternoon must before dinner.
Our accommodation was clean and well maintained with a short walk to all on offer.
Cannot recommend more highly for a safari visit

We had such a great time!
Great staff - so friendly and helpful.
Best massage we’ve had in a long time!
Herald Mgiba was our safari guide and he was awesome! Shared great information about birds, animals and plants while we were touring. We let him know what our hopes were as far as things to see and he went above and beyond to make our 2 days with him amazing!
Can’t recommend him highly enough!

This is an amazing hotel. The location is less than a minutes drive to Paul Kruger gate. The staff are all super friendly and efficient.
We didn\'t use the swimming pool because the weather wasn\'t very warm however the views from the pool deck are stunning. We saw hippos, elephants and buffalo amongst others.
The rooms are spacious and the beds are so comfy.
The food in the restaurant is good but quite repetitive after a few days.
There are a lot of people on safari every morning but the hotel manages the flow really well. Special mention to Birgit.
Thoroughly recommend staying here.

The vibe to team to location everything

Posted on 03/10/2026 by Booking.com

Kruger Gate is a brilliant place to stay for visiting Kruger National Park given it is close to the Kruger Gate and so avoids the 45 minute trip from Hazyville. The hotel is extremely comfortable with spacious rooms and a delicious buffet breakfast. The dinner buffet had plenty of choice and it was nice to be able to eat outside with a wood fire. There is a viewing area which overlooks the park and we saw a herd of elephants, buffalo and hyena. We did an afternoon game drive and the drivers keep each other informed of where the best sightings are. The transfers to KMI took around 90-120 minutes.

The hotel is beautiful. Rooms are decorated thoughtfully and are spotless. The territory is amazing and the views from deck are just mesmerizing. Staff is very kind and welcoming

Loved the property and the perks that comes with the property viz the breakfast & dinner buffet which is included in the rate and their pool deck overviewing the Kruger National Park. They have a lavish buffet which will definitely spoil you while you are there and you’ll spot animals from their pool deck area. We spotted Hyena, Hippos and Elephants from the pool deck. Also, the Kruger National Park is literally 2-3 minutes away from the property. Loved everything property as they have almost everything from gym to tennis/ golf court etc. Last but not the least, their staff is really good and ensure your requests are taken care of while at the property and also while you are enquiring and understanding things related to the Safari. Special thanks to Bongcheka from Safari desk and Athenkosi for being such a sport and assisting in all my queries wrt game drives and reservations. Also, Nomadic was really kind to us during our breakfast time and ensured we are well taken care.

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt im Kruger Gate Hotel. Das Zimmer war toll und es hat wirklich an nichts gefehlt. Auch das Buffet war hervorragend – eine große Auswahl und für jeden Geschmack etwas dabei. Besonders beeindruckend war der traumhafte Ausblick von der Terrasse und vom Pool direkt in die Natur. Mit etwas Glück konnten wir sogar Hippos, Elefanten und Büffel beobachten. Ein ganz besonderes Erlebnis – wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!

O hotel é muito bom. A localização não tem como estar mais próxima do Kruger, só ficando lá dentro. O staff é muito simpático e prestativo. O quarto que ficamos era grande e bem decorado, limpo e confortavel. A qualidade e variedade das refeições é boa.

Das Hotel ist super, der Pool hat Blick über den nahen Fluss, wo wir Nilpferde und Elefanten gesehen haben. Die Lage direkt am Gate ist sehr gut. Unsere Ganztages-Safari war sehr gut organisiert mit lecker Frühstücks Paket.
Das Essen allgemein war sehr lecker und mit großer Auswahl.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel, although the price was a little steep. The design blends beautifully with the surrounding nature - monkeys and antelopes roam around the property, and you can even watch elephants from the pool.
Breakfast and dinner were simply excellent, with a great variety of food and everything tasting delicious. The service was also very good.
