Your Guided Safari Tour at The Kruger Gate Hotel Awaits!

The vast and captivating landscapes of South Africa have for centuries enchanted travellers, poets, and nature enthusiasts alike. The famed Kruger National Park is one of its crown jewels. And serenely nestled at its prime entrance, you will discover the exceptional Kruger Gate Hotel, your gateway to a truly unforgettable adventure.

Kruger National Park: A Vast Mosaic of African Wildlife

Step into the profound realm of Kruger National Park South Africa, a timeless sanctuary that has been the beating heart of conservation efforts since the 19th century. With a legacy spanning decades, the Park has become synonymous with unparalleled wildlife encounters. As one travels through its vast terrains, one is treated to views that appear to belong to a bygone era—an era when nature reigned supreme and mankind was merely a spectator. Here, ‘The Park’, as it’s fondly referred to by seasoned travellers, offers sightings of 147 majestic species of large mammals including the famous ‘Big 5’. From the subtle rustling of the bushes that may reveal a camouflaged leopard to the mighty trumpets of the elephants and the spellbinding aerial displays by over 517 species of birds, every moment is a treasure chest of memories in the making.

The Kruger Gate Hotel: Where Opulence Meets the Untamed

Choosing the Kruger Gate Hotel isn’t just about finding a place to rest—it’s about elevating your entire African experience. Situated ideally in the Greater Kruger Conservancy, the Kruger Gate Hotel offers a seamless fusion of luxury and nature. With architecture that reverberates the essence of traditional lodges, it harmoniously blends with the surrounding colossal African trees and the vibrant symphony of chirping birds. Each room and suite tells its own story. Be it the thoughtfully designed family rooms that give you spacious comfort or the sheer grandeur of the Nkanyi presidential suite, every space is intricately adorned with African-inspired décor. The rooms are outfitted with amenities that promise pure comfort. Imagine waking up to the sounds of nature while ensconced in luxury.

The Artistry of the Safari Concierge

Beyond just planning, the Safari Concierge at the Kruger Gate Hotel paints your adventure with personal touches. Whether you dream of an ethereal dawn safari as the world awakens and bathes in the golden hues, or the thrilling allure of a nocturnal expedition under the starlit African sky, they curate a journey that resonates with your heart. And for those eager to steer their own course, the hotel’s prime location offers a freedom that few can match, allowing guests to embark on their self-driven explorations into the very soul of Kruger.

Embarking on a Dawn Safari

As dawn’s first light kisses the vast plains of Kruger, a sense of anticipation fills the air at the Kruger Gate Hotel. With a selection of game drives, every journey you undertake will be unique. You will travel through the park’s breathtaking landscapes under the expert guidance of local rangers. While the scent of morning dew still lingers, your vehicle might chance upon a pride of Lions beginning their day or witness the serene grace of a herd of antelope grazing. Every curve in the road, every rustle in the bush can lead to a heart-stopping encounter.

Embarking on a Night Safari

There is an electric sense of adventure in the air as dusk falls over Kruger’s vast landscapes. A different kind of safari awaits beneath the stars. Under the veil of night, the park transforms, revealing mysteries that the daylight keeps hidden. Each expedition promises unmatched excitement with a carefully curated selection of night game drives. Guided by seasoned rangers and trackers equipped with night vision aids, you venture into the darkness. The nocturnal calls of creatures create an evocative soundscape; perhaps you’ll spot the elusive Leopard on its nightly prowl or an Owl gracefully swooping down for its prey. Each shadow, each silhouette, and each distant howl or chirp adds to the mystique, making a Kruger safari at night an unforgettable experience.

A Multifaceted Celebration of Wilderness

Although game drives are the star attraction, the Kruger Gate Hotel’s embrace of nature extends beyond that. Mornings here are a ritual—artisanal breakfasts, brimming with local delicacies, set the tone for the day’s adventures. As night falls, the hotel transforms into an elevated dining sanctuary overlooking the vast landscapes. A place where gourmet meals and stories of the day’s sightings intertwine. All complemented by the ambient sounds of the nocturnal wilderness.

Delving into the Lore of Kruger

The stories and legends of Kruger National Park in South Africa are as vast and varied as its landscapes. Those keen on journeying beyond the surface will find a trove of narratives recounting tales of the park’s vibrant history, its pioneering conservation efforts, and, of course, the myriad creatures that call it home. Immersing oneself in local culture and engaging with seasoned rangers can significantly enhance one’s understanding of the park and its inhabitants. This can ensure an even deeper connection between you and the wilderness.

A Call to the Ultimate African Odyssey

Nature’s allure is timeless and compelling, drawing in those with a yearning for authentic, raw adventures. You can experience luxury, knowledge, and tradition while exploring the wild at the Kruger Gate Hotel. Consider days filled with thrilling wildlife encounters and nights filled with reflective tranquillity. As this dream takes shape, we warmly invite you to translate it into reality.

My family and I stayed for 3 nights here, and it was great! We stayed in the Kruger Luxury Rooms, and they were spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The breakfast and dinners (that were included) were delicious, which were buffet-style and had many options on each day. Even on the days we did full-day safaris (which started at 5:30am, thus before breakfast time), the hotel packed to-go breakfast boxes for us to take on the safaris, which came with a sandwich, juice, apple, and a plethora of snacks. We also enjoyed massage treatments at the spa, which were reasonably priced and very relaxing. They were able to accommodate same-day reservations for us. The staff were all very polite and accommodating. We wished we had the time to extend our stay! Before booking Kruger Gate Hotel, we were considering whether we wanted to stay at various sites within the actual park, but we were very glad we chose Kruger Gate hotel. We would definitely stay here again.

For the safari:
My family and I did 2 full day safaris with Enock as our guide on both days. He was great! He was very knowledgeable about the animals and could answer all our questions. What really stood out about Enock was his enthusiasm - he seemed to genuinely enjoy his job, and sometimes even seemed more excited than we were to spot the animals. When we passed by other safari drivers or people in their own vehicles doing self-drives, he would stop them and let them know where the nearby animals were (we noticed that not all other safari drivers did this). We saw the Big Five, in addition to many other animals including cheetahs (which are super rare). Towards the end of our second day, we still hadn\'t seen a leopard and had almost given up hope, but Enock was relentless and drove around asking his colleagues until we indeed spotted one! He always listened to what we wanted to see and do and accommodated our requests. When we seemed tired, he would slow down and let us rest. Before our trip, we were debating doing a self-drive or a guided safari, and we\'re so glad we chose the guided safari! We will be recommending Enock to any of our friends who are interested in doing a Kruger safari.

Practical tip: bring layers! It was very hot on the days we did our safaris, but because of the wind, it still felt pretty chilly at times, especially the mornings.

Perfect service from luggage and transport through guest relations to organize a golf trip to Skukuza GC, to the Safari guide Abraham (just perfect) and for the marvellous top breakfast buffet and dinner buffet. Perfect 3 night stay, strongly recommended!

What a special place the Kruger Gate Hotel is. Right on the edge of the Kruger National Park so no time at all to go on game drives. We were fortunate enough to spend 7 days here in April 25 and it was magical. The staff are wonderfully friendly and welcoming, the rooms are spacious and the food is magnificent. This is one of the nicest places we’ve stayed.

We had the best time at Kruger Gate Hotel. The space is beautiful and could not be closer to the park entrance. The staff was so lovely, and the spa and food were particular highlights. The safaris were absolutely spectacular — the guides were so knowledgeable and we learned so much about the animals and environment.

We stayed here for 2 days this month and all I can say is..we will definitely come back. Beautiful hotel, great food, lovely entertainment during dinner, helpful staff, pool with a view (elephants came to visit us) and a fabulous game drive...what more can one ask for. Most importantly we found out...many guests keep coming back...that says it all. Thank you for everything

The hotel is very good, I recommend it. We were two adults and two children in a room with two queen size beds and were very comfortable. Great breakfast and dinner buffet with lots of gluten-free options (the breakfast muffins great), and the friendly and very pending service.
The pool area is very nice and overlooks the river so you can see animals going there to drink.
The first night we had a problem as in the middle of the night there was a leak in the room just above the bed (by a bad pipe) and we had to change rooms, with the aggravation that the next day we had hired the sunrise safari at 4.45, so we did not sleep barely. As soon as they heard about it from the hotel management they offered us the refund that night, a sign that it is a good hotel concerned about providing good service.

The hotel is located right in the Kruger park. It has a beautiful, modern African style. A rich breakfast buffet was provided with fine service. The terrace is surrounded by the beautiful garden. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
The bathroom could use an update.
Massages with a view of the wild animals if there are any. We enjoyed an African dinner with spectacle.

It was a gorgeous place to stay with amenities galore. We upgraded to a premium room which was so worth the money. Our room was spacious with plenty of room to roam. The spa was fantastic with separate cabanas for most of the treatments facing the Kruger national park so you got to view some while life while being pampered. The food was spectacular and definitely pampered by the waiters. Very attentive to details.!

The property is stunning and with a lot of activities. Our room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. The view from the pool is wonderful. We could swim while watching elephants and giraffes.
The location is perfect, very close to Paul Kruger Gate and we had a wonderful 3 days safari experience!
The food was excellent and the staff are very friendly, always with a welcoming smile. For my birthday we had a private dinner at the viewing deck and we could see the hippos. The dinner was delicious, the chef Zandre and his colleague Tshepo presented it beautifully. It was a memorable evening.
On our next trip to the Kruger, we will definitely stay here again.
