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.

I have been coming to the Kruger Gate hotel Since I was four years old and it has been the highlight of my year ever since.

My sister got married here and it was such an amazing wedding.

The views are incredible, the food is delicious and the rooms are impeccable. The comfiest beds I have ever slept in.

The staff are so friendly and welcoming. I have known Mishack since I was little and every time is so amazing to catch up with him. He went from making me vanilla milkshakes as a little kid to making me amazing cocktails as an adult. The last time I was there myself and my partner had a private dinner which was so amazing we had to have another! Zenda and Tsephe truly made it so special for us. The dinners in the Lapa is one my highlights as we always spot monkeys and sometimes if we are lucky a residential Genet. Samarina was so kind as to reserve a table for us every night at our favourite spot.

I could not recommend this place any higher as it truly is life changing!

An exceptional experience in a beautiful hotel. Staff went out of their way to make our stay a memorable one.

The rooms are beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean with comfortable beds, spacious living area, great en suite bathroom with wonderfully big showers.

Food was exceptional at the Lapa restaurant in the evening, with tables set around the fire pits and a fabulous array of local and international dishes to choose from at the buffet. Breakfast, served at the indoors restaurant, had everything you could imagine to the highest standard.

Overall, the ambience is what truly makes it; just amazing. 10 out of 10.
