Unbeschreiblich, außergewöhnlich und einmalig.
Pros:

Das Personal war unfassbar freundlich und hat uns total herzlich empfangen. Alles war sehr sauber und sehr schick eingerichtet. Das Essen war ein Geschmackserlebnis. Die Abwicklung mit der Safari hat ebenfalls super geklappt.
Der Aufenthalt ist etwas kostspielig aber es lohnt sich definitiv.

Cons:

Nada. Tudo excelente!

Pros:

Maybe the best hotel ive ever stayed in. The hospitality was incredible. The staff were so nice - and the easy access to safaris in the morning was fantastic. If you want to go to Kruger National Park, do yourself a favour and stay here. (The elephants and hippos from the pool deck was also a crazy sight to see)

Exceptional Hotel
Pros:

We loved our stay at Kruger Gate Hotel. The proximity to the Paul Kruger Gate made access to the morning safaris quick and easy. The breakfast and dinner buffets were unbelievable - so much variety each day. Absolute compliments to the chefs and kitchen staff. We also loved the bar and heated pool overlooking the Sabie River where we could enjoy a cocktail while spotting wildlife on the river banks. We appreciated that there was a Bluu car hire desk at the hotel as we were able to organise our own self-drive in Kruger through them. We also went on the whole day safari from the hotel - our guide was fabulous but the prices seemed higher than other providers who would have come to pick you up so perhaps some advice to shop around.

Cons:

We opted to do the Panorama Tour through the hotel which we found expensive and didn't feel that we saw as many sights as we had hoped. We only had 4 stops during the day so I wouldn't recommend this.

Estadia maravilhosa
Pros:

Hotel maravilhoso. Quarto confortável, divido em dois ambientes, com varanda com vista para a savana e banheiro espaçoso com banheira e chuveiro. Fica literalmente ao lado do portão de entrada para o Parque Kruger, o que facilita as partidas diárias para os Safáris. Um diferencial é que o hotel possui uma unidade da BLUU de aluguel de carro, o que permite que devolvamos os veículos no próprio hotel (especialmente funcional para quem vem de Joanesburgo de carro). Jantar e Café-da-Manhã deslumbrantes. Vale se hospedar aqui.
