Why you should book your December safari now

The last thing you need as we head into ‘silly season’ is to be gripped by “FOMO”. 

 You can avoid the stress, and the possibility of disappointment by taking a little time to get yourself organised now for the summer holidays. Your leave period over December/January is precious, and it’s worth carving out a slot in your calendar to intentionally think about how you would like to spend it, so that you can take positive action, sooner rather than later.

Getting away from home, especially to a destination where you can be immersed in nature, is essential to prioritising your wellbeing, refreshing mind, body and soul and shoring up your resilience. Making your personal dreams come true, or ticking off on your bucket list is how you move forward in life and really feel the benefits of the hard work you put into your job all year long. These things are important and shouldn’t be left to the last minute.

There’s just about nothing better than a classic Kruger safari in the summertime, and with our Book in advance and save 15% deal on a minimum 3-night stay you can plan a special summer holiday with your significant other, or your multi-generational family or your fun friend group.

There is a limited booking window starting on 1 October and ending 31 October. The 15% saving, which is only available through booking on our website from 1 to 31 October 2025, is inclusive of your accommodation, breakfasts at our Kudyela Restaurant and 3-course dinners in our Lapa Restaurant.

Kruger Gate Hotel’s Book in advance and save 15% deal applies to two peak season stay dates – 1 to 18 December 2025 and 8 to 22 January 2026. T&C’s apply.

Outstanding visit yet again; food, service, location is sublime. Will return soon for our 9th visit.

I cannot speak highly enough of this hotel and all the staff who work there. The hotel is spotless, little details like turning down beds at night, the selection and quality of food in the restaurant and the bright happy faces of all the staff makes this a truly exceptional place to stay. The spa and beaty services were also excellent. Tandi and Louis made the safari days perfect and we saw the big five and many more animals and birds on every safari day. They were very knowledgeable and we learnt alot about the animals. Absolutely cannot fault the hotel, would highly recommend.

We come to the area since many years, but we’ve never stayed at KGH. This time we choose this place for our stay and we were more than surprised how good it is. The staff is super friendly and helpful, the rooms are spacious and clean and the whole complex is great. Pool area, tennis, fitness, even Minigolf. And not to forget.. the food was amazing. Be prepared- soon we will be back.

Das Hotel ist einfach mega schön. Das Personal sehr sehr freundlich. Waren jetzt schon das 2. Mal dort und ich kann es nur weiterempfehlen. Es liegt direkt am Kruger NP und vom Pool aus kann man in den Park schauen und Tiere beobachten.
