Scenic pools, decks and viewing areas face the river/Kruger, plus practical amenities like spa, gym, bars, coffee and gift shops, and on site support for booking game drives. One review noted a cold/cloudy pool and some find organized safaris pricey, but overall facilities impress and power cuts are well managed.

We stopped at this hotel as part of our honeymoon. Amazing hotel. Straight away you feel welcomed and comfortable. The staff are very helpful. The room was lovely and it was decorated for our honeymoon with a bottle of bubbly and petals. The facilities were great with two pools and loads of other activities on site. The food was a buffet style but with so much choice and delicious fresh food. It was a great experience eating outside. We booked a morning safari tour which was incredible. We saw so much wildlife and the guide was so helpful and informative (went in August). We would definitely come back again it was an amazing first safari experience.

Our stay was wonderful. The hotel blends into the jungle environment for nicely. Even though the baboons are noisy running on the roofs in the morning, it is fun to see them and the other monkeys playing all around the resort. The buffets had a larger variety of options with different options at each night. We had friends who were celebrating an anniversary while there and the singing staff were incredible with their version of a happy anniversary song! The only thing what would have been nicer was if the pool was warmer (the pool that overlooks the river is shaded and quite cool and cloudy). But we had an absolutely wonderful stay at a beautiful resort.

Great family-/child-friendly hotel adjacent to Kruger Gate, making it super convenient for safaris (5am departure = 530am wildlife sightings!). Pool view is stunning, and a further kids pool make it pleasant and entertaining for kids. Staff were super attentive to ensure our stay was pleasant! The dinner buffet was incredible!

What an amazing vacation! You literally cannot beat the location and wow, the hotel was stunning. Good food to order, lovely staff, and even a little shop for souvenirs! Cannot recommend this hotel enough. Also, highly recommend booking “Amos” as your game driver with Kurt Safari Co (who the hotel uses for safaris) he was amazing! One of the managers of the hotel, Sarah, was so sweet and accommodating. Also had a lovely spa experience!

Been coming back to this place atleast once a year because of their implacable hospitality and great service for the last 12 years. This time around though I was disappointed. Reception just gave is the keys without checking if we know where our rooms were and no offer to assist us with our baggage. The next day, we realised the bathtub was not cleaned. Yes I’d cleaned it but not perfectly the night before and had expected them to do a proper job the next morning but was utterly disappointed that it wasn’t. The food was still great, rooms looked great though. Just the bathtub and basins in room 420 need stopper changes. The water leaks while you bath.

My knowledge of this property goes right back to 1987 when we bought time share at this location, and the original Karos Kruger Hotel was pretty basic. After an absence of many years we booked to stay at the now Kruger Gate and one of the new bedroom suites. From check in to our room, to drinks over looking the Kruger Park to dinner to breakfast - in a word. Excellent and the staff are superb. Having stayed in the past at a number of private game lodges in the Sabi Sands area most are outstanding but can cost anything up to $1000 per night per person. The Kruger Gate Hotel offers exceptional value and a great bush experience at a fraction of the cost of private lodges. And they can arrange daily and night drives in the Kruger. I would highly recommend fly in or drive to the Kruger - stay in the hotel and enjoy daily self drives in the Kruger A wonderful way to experience the bush, and African food and hospitality at a really affordably rate

Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Per WhatsApp kann man problemlos mit der Rezeption in Kontakt bleiben und Fragen werden schnell beantwortet. Leider war das WLAN nicht das Beste aber zum entspannen auch gut ;) Das Frühstück und Abendessen war sehr lecker und es war für jeden was dabei. Beim Frühstück gab es auch Cappuccino mit Mandelmilch 👍

Going to that hotel since 25 years. While the food improved over the years and finally is declared on the buffet what it is we sadly noticed the lack of service quality dropped drastically. As example on the pool deck we ordered 4 pizzas. 1st and 2nd order went „missing“ after complaining twice the supervisor then attended to our table and re-ordered our food. After 2.5 hours waiting we finally got our food which was very nice considering we are sitting in the middle of the bush. Overall still a very nice hotel with great location to enjoy the Krugerpark and the bushveld.

Sipping a cocktail and watching these beautiful creatures was a daily highlight!

The resort is wonderful and I was able to see a Hurd of elephants by the pool before sunset. I would recommend this place to others and stay here again if I am in Kruger!
