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!

This was the most incredible experience! The hotel totally surpasses expectation and I literally have no negatives to say The lodge is hige with ample seating areas and even at full capacity ,one feels like you can choose anywhere to relax. The infinity pool.and deck are out of this world, with plenty loungers and views and wildlife. In addition the food is outstanding g and very well priced I would like to make specific mention of the staff friendliness and eagerness to.assist . It was the best service I have received in a long time and consistent throughout the lodge. The proximity to the paul kruger gate was absolutely amazing ,as it allowed us the convenience of multiple entries to the park in a day . Special mention to Sarah who was super enthusiastic and helpful. The new renovations are top.class and the bedding and daily servicing was supreme. Thank you for an incredible stay ..we will definitely be back soon ! Read less

Our stay at the Krueger Gate Hotel was PERFECT. The location is ideal, the price is ideal, and the staff is the best. Our safari guide Pascaline was so kind and helpful even when dealing with difficult passengers. She stayed cool, calm, collected and did an amazing job.
