Why the bush is great for your team strategy event

When it’s time to realign your team, reflect on business goals and inspire fresh thinking, the setting you choose counts as much as your actual agenda.

You want to get your team right out of the stress and the humdrum of corporate life and shift them towards greater performance and engagement. In this sense, a team strategy session in the bush isn’t just a welcome escape but a powerful business move

At Kruger Gate Hotel, which is situated right at the Paul Kruger Gate of the iconic Kruger National Park, you’ll find much more than a welcome change of scenery. Our professional events team supports you in hosting an immersive, purposeful event that delivers real impact.

Igniting creativity and critical thinking needs an out-of-office setting
Business leaders today understand the value of getting away to effectively think ahead. High-performance meetings, planning retreats and other strategic sessions work best in environments that encourage perspective and clarity. Few event destinations can rival the African bush. At Kruger Gate Hotel, teams are surrounded by peace and natural beauty, thrilling wildlife and wide-open skies. Getting away into the bush for your next team strategy session is the ultimate antidote to corporate tunnel vision.

Experience-led events build trust and connection
Modern teams want more than an agenda-driven meeting. They want experiences of connection, inspiration and a shared story. At Kruger Gate Hotel it is easy to design experience-rich team events with options like Big 5 safari drives, fireside dinners under the stars, sundowners with Sabie River views, spa downtime, and storytelling around the firepit of our private River Boma. These aren’t add-ons – they are core to the experience, helping to build trust, camaraderie and alignment in your team.

Sustainability, purpose and personalisation are shaping how companies approach their in-person and hybrid corporate gatherings. Whether you’re planning a leadership retreat, a multi-day strategy workshop or an incentive escape, we collaborate closely with you to craft the right balance of productivity, purpose and play. At Kruger Gate Hotel, your strategy event won’t just be successful – it will be unforgettable.

Guest Reviews

Kruger Gate Hotel was one of the best resort experiences I have ever had. Not only are you on the doorstep of kruger, the wildlife permeates through the place by walking through it contantly (the non dangerous ones!). The hotel itself is well kept/looks good and is filled with leafy trees. The infinity pool looking out over the river is fantastic and you are bound to see many Animals from there alone.

The staff are all great people. Lawrence and so many countless others always went out of their way to help me whenever they could, even setting us up with things for other parts of our trip at no benefit to them.

A bank of memories with good people!

Perfectly located on the Sabie river surrounded by game reserves, right next to 1 of the main entrance gates to the Kruger National Park. Beautiful outlay on wooden decks / walkways surrounded by lush vegetation and trees. 1 indoor restaurant and 1 outdoor restaurant shape in a boma. Rated 4 star hotel but the food variety and quality is close to 5 star. 2 outdoor swimming pools with one overlooking the river and big game that may wonder upclose. Game drives can be booked any time of day and a gym is also available Romantic, peaceful and good value

What a truly beautiful hotel. We loved watching the hippos in the river from the infinity pool, and every dinner around the open fire was absolutely wonderful.
We spent three unforgettable days on safari with Enock, who completely made the experience for us. His knowledge is exceptional, he answered every question with ease and enthusiasm. He went above and beyond to ensure our safari was everything we hoped for and more.

Thanks to Enock for amazing 3 day Safari with my family. He was so much fun and his knowledge was incredible teaching us a lot while making us feel very safe.
His experience showed with him been able to spot out the smallest signs of animals, allowing us to see 4 of the big 5, among many other animals.
Thanks Enock.

From great service, an amazing safari and a great hotel in general, this place is definitely worth it.

Would love to come back in the next few years.

Enoch was an incredible safari guide. He was so knowledgable and made us feel very safe. He could spot animals without a camera or binoculars that we hadn’t been able to see! He knew lots of information about the animals and local area. He was also extremely respectful to the animals.

Equipe atenciosa, quarto amplo, confortável e bem decorado. Recepção e áreas comuns aconchegantes e bem decoradas. Excelente café da manhã e jantar. Um lanche para quem está indo para o Safari antes das 6 da manhã fez toda diferença.

There was the paradox of it being very African but very chic! Lovely facility

L’emplacement est superbe à la frontière du parc Kruger, face a la rivière où nous avons pu observer hippopotames, antilopes et même un éléphant traverser, tout en étant au bord de la très belle piscine. Chambre bien décorée et très propre et nombreux services pour rendre l’expérience très agréable. Un plaisir de revenir de safari dans l’établissement !
