Kruger Gate Hotel

The Kruger Gate Hotel really is the dream hotel and we honestly cannot recommend it highly enough. From the moment we arrived, everything about our stay was outstanding. The hotel itself is beautiful and the location is simply incredible. There cannot be many places in the world where you can relax in a swimming pool while watching hippos and elephants at the watering hole. It was one of those experiences that you have to keep reminding yourself is actually real. The food was another huge highlight. Both breakfast and dinner were incredible, with an amazing amount of choice and consistently excellent quality. Every meal felt like an experience in itself and we genuinely looked forward to seeing what was on offer each day. The entertainment was also amazing and added so much to the whole experience. It was wonderful to feel immersed in the local culture while enjoying our evenings at the hotel. One moment that will stay with me was hearing the staff sing The Lion Sleeps Tonight while we were eating. I’ll admit, I even got a little glassy-eyed. It was such a special and unexpectedly emotional moment and perfectly captured the magic of being there. The staff were absolutely outstanding throughout our stay. Everyone was friendly, welcoming and attentive and they all played a part in making the hotel feel so special. We also booked our safaris through the hotel and they were incredibly well planned, exciting and undoubtedly some of the highlights of our trip. Everything was so well organised and the whole experience made exploring Kruger completely effortless. What makes the Kruger Gate Hotel so special is the combination of everything. You have the excitement of being right next to one of the most incredible wildlife destinations in the world while still being able to return to a beautiful hotel, enjoy amazing food, relax by the pool and be looked after by an exceptional team. It truly felt like a dream holiday and we were so sad to leave. We would absolutely love to return one day and relive the experience all over again. Thank you to everyone at Kruger Gate Hotel for an unforgettable stay. We will be recommending it to everyone we know

Our stay was amazing from beginning to end. Since the moment we arrived, the whole team was super friendly and always smiling. The place was always clean and organized, and the housekeeping team was very quick and efficient. The service overall was great — breakfast and dinner were always well served, and the staff took really good care of us. Finally, I’d like to give a special thanks to D. and Zenda for all their kindness during our stay. They were incredibly thoughtful and welcoming with us. We’ll definitely recommend this place to everyone visiting South Africa — you’ve gained ambassadors in Brazil!

We had the most incredible and unforgettable stay at Kruger Gate Hotel. The hotel is ideally positioned close to the Kruger Park gate. We did two full day shared safaris and managed to see the big five which was amazing. Both our guides were fantastic and so knowledgeable. They communicated with others from the hotel to track down lions on our second day which we really appreciated as that was the last of the big five we wanted to see. We were really lucky to see a leopard and a rhino on our very first safari day. We also saw a whole host of other animals and it’s truly an experience that completely exceeded our expectations and we’ll never forget it. We recommend the full day option! The hotel was also lovely. We used the gym a few times and it was clean and fully equipped. The room was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. We loved the pool bar and viewing deck and managed to spot elephants, monkeys and hippos whilst enjoying a drink here. Dinner was also fantastic, with plenty of options and provided opportunity to try traditional South African cuisine which we loved. The staff were super friendly and helpful and we would recommend a stay here to anyone visiting Kruger.

The most incredible hotel experience I’ve ever had. Everything about Kruger Gate Hotel is exceptional. From its stunning location, to incredible (!!!) food (the buffets exceeded any expectation I’ve ever had for a buffet), to the amazing staff. It’s a beautiful hotel that makes you feel so connected to the stunning nature around you. We were so lucky that we saw so many elephants and hippos every day from the pool deck - memories I will cherish forever. The spa is also incredible - I had one of the signature massages which was heavenly and the complementary sauna access had a stunning view of the river outside the hotel, what a way to spot wildlife! My husband and I booked three morning safaris through the hotel which were always exceptional. The guides were so knowledgeable and really worked hard to find the animals the group really wanted to see that day, we ended up seeing the big 5 and so much more. Special shoutout to the hotel manager Sarah for looking after me when I fell ill (not food or mosquito related!!!) an organised a private driver to the a doctor nearby on record time. I hope I get to come back to Kruger Gate one day, I can’t recommend it enough!

Aqui está uma versão mais completa e calorosa: We would like to sincerely thank the entire team at Kruger Gate Hotel for an unforgettable stay. The hotel’s infrastructure is outstanding, and its location right at the entrance of Kruger National Park makes it truly unique. We especially loved the view from the pool area, which is absolutely breathtaking. One of the most amazing parts of our stay was being able to see wildlife without even leaving the hotel. We were fortunate enough to spot hippos, monkeys, crocodiles, and buffalo right from the property, making the experience even more special. We would also like to express our deepest gratitude for the care and attention given to preparing kosher meals for our group. The dedication, kindness, and effort shown by the team to accommodate our needs were greatly appreciated and made us feel genuinely welcomed. Thank you for your exceptional hospitality, excellent service, and for creating such wonderful memories for us. We hope to return again soon. Warm regards, Mike Battat
