Why you should take your team, friends or family on safari

Whether it’s your hardworking team members, or your buddy or family group, we need get out the grind of daily life together from time to time.

When the years roll by without ever getting the chance to relax and enjoy some real downtime, a certain distance can grow between us. This is because the relentless focus on work, home life and school days locks us into our roles for most of the year. We’re always ‘doing’ together instead of being together.

That’s why the long summer holiday is the ideal time to get away with your special group to reset and reconnect on a very human level.

Here are some of the highlights of a group safari holiday to Kruger Gate Hotel:

  • Location is everything – we’re situated on the banks of the picturesque Sabie River, right at the Paul Kruger Gate. This means it’s less than a one-minute drive from the hotel to get into the game-rich southern region of the Park.
  • It’s a world away from work and home life – although so accessible by road or air, you will be easily immersed in the evocative wildness of the South African bush. It’s unbelievably refreshing to the soul to be surrounded by the beauty and serenity of Kruger’s natural landscapes and our hotel’s lush riverine woodland.
  • The thrill of a wild adventure – venturing into the Park on our open-air game drives fills you with anticipation. Your safari through Big 5 country unfolds with wonder and awe. It’s an incredibly bonding experience to share close encounters with wildlife with your family, friends or team members.
  • Chilling out together – after the excitement of your safari, there’s plenty of opportunities to relax and unwind together. Our Pool Bar and Viewing Deck is a gorgeous quiet zone overlooking the Sabie River. You can enjoy gourmet pizzas from our wood-fired oven. Or lounge around the sparkling infinity pool while animals wander down to the river for a drink.
  • Exploring the Panorama Route – you have easy access to stunning attractions such as God’s Window, Bourke’s Luck Potholes and Pilgrim’s Rest. There are plenty adventure activities on offer such as mountain biking, hiking and zip-lining that are perfect for group fun.
  • Dining under the stars – evenings are full of cheerful companionship and delicious food. Your group can enjoy fireside African feasts in our Lapa Restaurant or book a private dining pod on our Viewing Deck for an exclusive experience.

Guest Reviews

Beautiful hotel with a beautiful structure that gives the impression of being suspended in the trees. The decoration is superb and the location, right in front of Kruger National Park, is exceptional.
The table is excellent, with high quality dishes.
The staff is very welcoming and particularly attentive.
A truly memorable experience!

I could not recommend the Kruger Gate Hotel more! Our experience from start to finish was flawless. We were greeted at Skukuza airport and driven through Kruger National Park to get to the hotel. That meant that even our taxi journey to the hotel featured animal sightings. The staff at the hotel were so efficient and got us checked in so quickly, even though we were a large family/friends group. We stayed for four nights and decided to do 1x full day safari, 1x morning safari and 1x afternoon safari. This allowed us to explore the National Park but also enjoy the beautiful facilities at the hotel. The safaris were excellently organised and the guides were incredible. We saw 4 out of the big 5 (sadly no leopards, although we had two very near misses where we had just missed a leopard sighting) and countless other animals. In our down time we enjoyed the three swimming pools, one of which overlooked the river and where we could see elephants on the opposite banks, and our wonderful rooms. The group was split between Deluxe Rooms and the self catering chalets. The rooms were stunning and the chalets were excellent for larger groups. The food was AMAZING! Every night we were treated to an extensive buffet in the boma with amazing singing. The ambience was incredible. On the two mornings we weren\'t on game drives we enjoyed the buffet breakfast, which was also delicious. While there a large number of our group booked treatments at the spa, which we all raved about. The trip was to celebrate my 30th Birthday and we were a large group visiting from the UK. I would like to thank everyone at the Kruger Gate Hotel for making our stay so special. I really hope that I return again in the future. Thank you again!
