    We Stayed at Kruger Gate Hotel for 3 days and it was amazing. The service and staff are absolutely kind, helpful and always in a good mood. The room was sweet, the variation of food tastes and looks so delicious! We will come back and stay for more days. You need to book at least one full-day safari !

    Loved the hotel, the staff were very friendly and helpful. There were plenty of options for the evening buffet and breakfast for our family which a few had allergies and some other dietary restrictions. Rooms were cleaned regularly and the pools were lovely too. We had booked a private safari and our guide Szenzou (pardon the spelling) was great, knowledgeable, he could spot animals from afar and let us stop as much as we wanted. The hotels proximity to the entrance is a huge benefit especially at the end of the day when you want to get back. Read less

    The Kruger gate hotel was a comfortable stay. We enjoyed the spa and 1.5days of safari drive with our guide, Cenzo. He was professional and went the extra mile to look for all the animals. We had the pleasure of spotting all big5 and many more animals in the area. Would highly recommend!
