Kruger Gate Hotel is an amazing hotel to visit if you are visiting the Kruger National Park! The amenities are wonderful and the hotel is located just along the sabie river which is good for spotting animals!
Staffs are amazing and helpful throughout the stay! Hotel is beautiful especially their dinners atmosphere is simply phenominal!
Will definitely recommend
It was a nice hotel, not too big, close to one entrance to the park. The food was good. Trees were beautiful. One can see elephants and other animals from the pool bar. The main problem is that their safaris, or park tours, are too expensive, much more expensive than those organized by the park. But the vehicles are confortable, and drivers nice and helpful.
The resort being right by the main entrance to Kruger National Park makes it a great spot to book safari tours of the park.
Dining was fine, but would benefit from more selections à la carte.
2nd time visiting this hotel. Its next to Kruger Gate. The river view is lovely and the Lapa restaurant has a great African charm with a wonderful buffet.
Great family-/child-friendly hotel adjacent to Kruger Gate, making it super convenient for safaris (5am departure = 530am wildlife sightings!). Pool view is stunning, and a further kids pool make it pleasant and entertaining for kids. Staff were super attentive to ensure our stay was pleasant! The dinner buffet was incredible!
The hotel is very clean and comfortable. The food is all inclusive type of food, and also not what you ordered. The staff struggled to make specialty drinks..
Unreal hospitality and staff are amazing. This is our second year we’ve been and we will be coming again making it a third time.
Game drives are spectacular as well! Worth every penny!
Séjour absolument parfait!! Nous y aurions séjourner beaucoup plus longtemps si l'itinéraire nous l'avais permis! Localisation idéale, service hors pair, buffet Booma dinner varié et excellent, restaurants incroyable (déjeuner), services et commodités diversifiés et accessibles (bar, gym, café, aide pour les tours/activittés, etc.). Je recommande fortement! :)
Wonderful property. Great food, clean/modern/spacious rooms, close to Kruger with good safari options. Friendly staff.

Okay but needs updating
The service was good. The buffet meals went from amazing the first night to just okay by the third night. Room was very old and felt damp. New section is much nicer.
Service was paramount at this unique hotel. Though their first evening park tour was sold out, the rest of my family were able to go on an early morning tour of Kruger National Park
We stopped at this hotel as part of our honeymoon. Amazing hotel. Straight away you feel welcomed and comfortable. The staff are very helpful. The room was lovely and it was decorated for our honeymoon with a bottle of bubbly and petals. The facilities were great with two pools and loads of other activities on site. The food was a buffet style but with so much choice and delicious fresh food. It was a great experience eating outside. We booked a morning safari tour which was incredible. We saw so much wildlife and the guide was so helpful and informative (went in August). We would definitely come back again it was an amazing first safari experience.
