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!
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 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!
Clean room with clean towels etc. Food was good but disappointed with gluten free options. Breakfast had the same very dry GF bread and same muffins very morning. Home made GF rolls available at dinner, were delicious but not always available . The dinner food options of meat, vegetables and salads was very good. Christmas dinner though, was a bit disappointing.
Friendly staff.
Visitors must be aware that costs charged for entering and leaving Kruger Park can mount up, plus manual firm filling becomes a bit tedious. Not fault of the hotel, it's government policy.

Safaris in this area are very expensive this offers great value for money. Food was excellent, particularly the Boma at dinner.The safaris were great as the guides really try to find the big game. We stayed at an expensive lodge in a Private Concession and felt the Kruger gates safaris were better although with more traffic

Spectacular stay this time. Warm welcome, welcome wine and sweet and savoury platter in our room. Personalised treatment for dinner and the game drive amazing.
Amazing stay, food, decor, amenities, rooms were great and would love to stay here again. Safari was also amazing with a great guide, Culture. Conveniently located 1min away from the Paul Kruger Gate. Highly recommend staying here.
What an incredible place! The staff treat you like family and nothing is too much trouble. Excellent food and service set in a beautifully curated hotel on the river bank. We were spoiled every day with Elephant, Hippos, bush buck, warthog and nyala eating and drinking directly in front of the hotel. Sipping a cocktail and watching these beautiful creatures was a daily highlight!
Há 100 metros do portão para entrar no Kruger. NÃO fica dentro do parque porém está bem próximo. Da piscina você vê os animais dentro do parque. Hotel excelente.
Been coming back to this place atleast once a year because of their implacable hospitality and great service for the last 12 years. This time around though I was disappointed. Reception just gave is the keys without checking if we know where our rooms were and no offer to assist us with our baggage. The next day, we realised the bathtub was not cleaned. Yes I’d cleaned it but not perfectly the night before and had expected them to do a proper job the next morning but was utterly disappointed that it wasn’t. The food was still great, rooms looked great though. Just the bathtub and basins in room 420 need stopper changes. The water leaks while you bath.
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.
Hotel incrível, ao lado da entrada do parque, ótimo café da manhã, jantar, equipe super atenciosa, fomos muito bem tratados por todos funcionários. O passeio contratado foi ótimo. Recomendo e indico. Parabéns ao Hotel.
Lovely room, breakfast & dinner were included. Safaris were additional. They had a great spa. Gift shop, coffee shop, a couple bars & pools. We would recommend it for anyone.
