A life time experience!
Pros:

The staff were amazing, the room was so comfortable and beautiful. The safari was unreal!! The management in the hotel is amazing, Rhandzu one the staff members made our dinner every night so special. Our safari guides Levi and Gibson are the best! They gave us the most beautiful safari experience and the knowledge they have and how the respect the animal space and respect the nature is amazing also they showed us the big 5 few times. Everything from the airport pickup to the last day was excellent. Highly recommend Kruger Gate Hotel!

Excelente hotel, superou todas as minhas expectativas.
Pros:

Excelente hotel, a uns 2 km da entrada do Kruger (faz muita diferença no Safari da manhã, com frio intenso). Hotel excelente, muito bonito, estrutura exuberante. Café da manhã excelente, quartos maravilhosos. Animais dentro da propriedade, toda hora você encara um, aumentando a experiência de um safaria na Africa.

Cons:

De ter acabado a minha reserva, queria ficar mais 5 dias, rsrsrs

Perfekt gelegen mit perfektem Service
Pros:

SEHR nah am Kruger Gate gelegen. Die gesamte Anlage und auch das Appartment waren sehr schön. Wir haben uns hier sehr wohl gefühlt. Frühstück und Abendessen waren überragend. Das Personal war super-freundlich und man kann von der Bar aus sogar Elefanten und Gazellen beobachten. Alles in Allem ein Highlight-Aufenthalt auf unserer Südafrika Tour.

Gorgeous hotel
Pros:

We loved our stay at the hotel with the proximity to the Paul Kruger Gate for sunrise and sunset games drives. The breakfast and dinner buffets were incredible - compliments to the chefs who prepared fabulous food with incredible variety over the 5 nights of our stay. The room was fabulous and we loved the pool bar overlooking the river so we could watch crocodiles, buffalo, elephant and hippos with a cocktail in hand.

Cons:

The costs of the safaris seemed more expensive than other providers who you could arrange to pick you up from the hotel. However, our guide Alex was outstanding at spotting animals on our full day game drive. I would not recommend the Panorama Route trip as it was very expensive for only 4 stops.

A stunning stay, made truly special by the hotel's design and its wonderful staff
Pros:

The transport was excellent, and the design of the hotel is beautiful. The whole property, pool area, and poolside bistro were fantastic especially the vegan burger! The view from the pool was stunning too.

The safaris were exceptional, especially with Alex and Herold as our guides.
The food was a real highlight for us and for everyone else we spoke with. They catered brilliantly to our dietary needs (we eat vegan) rarely have we eaten so well as vegans. For early safaris, when you miss breakfast, you even get a lunch box instead, which was also delicious.

Every wish we had was fulfilled, and the hotel was extremely clean.
We would book again in a heartbeat, without a second thought.
