Stayed at the hotel for 4 nights with my partner, our room was spacious and cleanliness was very good. Good variety of food for the buffet dinner and all of the top shelf liquors available. Water supplied and topped up daily. The Safari trips were brilliant and I really recommend them. Enoch was our driver for the tour (we did an all day one which started at 5.30am with breakfast available to collect and take with you) and he was fantastic. Really knowledgeable about the area and he knows his animals. Nothing was too much for him and was happy to stop at any animal siting. Enoch is friendly, chatty and I swear he has a sixth sense on where to head out in the vast amount of land on the national park. If you get Enoch as your guide you're on to a winner already and have a superb chance of seeing the Big 5 which we did. Definitely going back to Kruger National Park and would stay here again.

Kruger Gate Hotel was very nice with an amazing spa. Breakfast & dinner was included in our rate. They were very accomodating for me with Gluten Free requirements.

Kruger Gate Hotel was very nice with an amazing spa. Breakfast & dinner was included in our rate. They were very accomodating for me with Gluten Free requirements. They went thru the whole buffet with me and confirmed what was gluten free & what was not. Surprisingly most of the buffet was good for me. The food was amazing. I did a facial & a 90 min massage. Both were very good & highly recommend them. I did one safari with the lodge, which was extra, but so worth it. We go so close to so many animals. I would definitely stay here again.

Excellent 3-night stay. Comfortable, spacious room (deluxe king); lovely pool/viewing area; dinner buffet over-the-top with numerous choices and friendly staff that remembered our names. Location is perfect, just minutes from Kruger Gate. The hotel can book your safari, or you can reach out to Kurt Safari on your own (I recommend full-day to maximize your chance of seeing more of the park). One hour flight from Joburg to Skukuza, and hotel arranged our transfer. Kruger National Park is a gem, and this hotel adds to the experience.

Excellent location for the price! Courteous staff. Excellent breakfast and dinner( especially for me many vegetarian choices were offered). Staff at dinner and breakfast went out of their way to get what we wanted. Amazing safari offered by the hotel with a great guide. Couldn’t fault a thing! Can think of only superlatives to describe anything.…
