Amazing stay, highly recommended
Pros:

Fantastic hotel, loved our stay. Staff were all brilliant, buffet dinners great variety and delicious! Modern/authentic decor throughout the hotel & common areas. Pool deck was great, with views across the river of varied wildlife. Safari game drives were of good quality, lucky to see the big 5 plus cheetahs! Convenient location right on Paul Kruger gate.

Cons:

It’s a large hotel, 145 rooms, pool deck did get busy at times but still found seating.

Très beau séjour entre nature et confort.
Pros:

L’emplacement et la beauté des lieux bien intégré dans la nature, très belle chambre. Le repas du soir était super dans le restaurant extérieur avec un grand choix de repas de qualité et le musicien. nous n’avons pas testé les petits déjeuner dans l’hotel car nous partions très tôt au matin, mais l’hôtel, prenait soin de nous préparer des box pour le petit déjeuner à emporter qui étaient très complètes.

Cons:

Les paiements par carte bancaire à chaque fois au lieu de payer le tout à la fin.

A truly incredible stay!
Pros:

I could not recommend the Kruger Gate Hotel more! Our experience from start to finish was flawless. We were greeted at Skukuza airport and driven through Kruger National Park to get to the hotel. That meant that even our taxi journey to the hotel featured animal sightings. The staff at the hotel were so efficient and got us checked in so quickly, even though we were a large family/friends group. We stayed for four nights and decided to do 1x full day safari, 1x morning safari and 1x afternoon safari. This allowed us to explore the National Park but also enjoy the beautiful facilities at the hotel. The safaris were excellently organised and the guides were incredible. We saw 4 out of the big 5 (sadly no leopards, although we had two very near misses where we had just missed a leopard sighting) and countless other animals. In our down time we enjoyed the three swimming pools, one of which overlooked the river and where we could see elephants on the opposite banks, and our wonderful rooms. The group was split between Deluxe Rooms and the self catering chalets. The rooms were stunning and the chalets were excellent for larger groups. The food was AMAZING! Every night we were treated to an extensive buffet in the boma with amazing singing. The ambience was incredible. On the two mornings we weren't on game drives we enjoyed the buffet breakfast, which was also delicious. While there a large number of our group booked treatments at the spa, which we all raved about. The trip was to celebrate my 30th Birthday and we were a large group visiting from the UK. I would like to thank everyone at the Kruger Gate Hotel for making our stay so special. I really hope that I return again in the future. Thank you again!

Cons:

Nothing - everything was perfect!
