This is an excellent location outside the Paul Kruger Gate. The grounds and rooms are maintained in excellent condition. The entire staff is warm and friendly. Being next to Kruger National Park, we could observe animals next to the Sabie River from the pool deck. The included breakfast and dinner buffets were excellent with fresh juice in the morning. I would highly recommend staying here.
Amazing location with amazing staff! This was a brilliant place to stay and spend our time. The only item we would have liked to have available to us would have been a dinner option other than the buffet - like an upscale steakhouse or fancy menu ala carte. The buffet was good with many options but would have enjoyed a quieter dinner choice for our family.
Amazing hotel. We absolutely loved our stay. Room was modern, clean and spacious. The breakfast buffet was great but the dinner buffet was simply outstanding. The staff are all so friendly, yet professional. And the pool deck is wonderful. I will definitely stay here again.
My husband and I spent 2 nights here it was awesome. The staff were super friendly and the dinner was amazing. Breakfast was really good too. The drinks are also great. The staff do a really great job at keeping the property clean and neat. Everything was truly outstanding. We look forward to coming again in the future.
We had an incredible stay. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. They always smile. It’s very family friendly, but also a great place for couples. We did a private safari and that was so worth it because the guides know all the best places to see the big 5. We would definitely stay there again if we returned to Kruger.
Great place to hangout, vacationing with friends and families. Wish there was more happening around the resort, but if you have a rental car, should be much more engaging.
This hotel was superb. The staff, the room, the outstanding food quality, the location (literally right at the Kruger gate), and the ambiance were first-class. We watched elephants and hippos from the pool deck (don’t worry—there is a fence). Highly recommend!
The staff at Kruger Gate is amazing! Exceptional service. We were fortunate to stay in the new wing of rooms which were awesome! Very comfortable. Beautiful property- well done!
This hotel is amazing and lives up to the pictures online. The food, staff, safari drivers, spacious rooms and location make this hotel a great value. I highly recommend!
Fantastic location for safari in Kruger. Just at the gate, no time spent driving towards the park. Also, the view from the pool, the dining options, their people, the service, the smiles...
KrugerGate Hotel allows you to stay close to Kruger National Park and offers the ability to take drives through the park to view the animals who live within.
