    Few activities possible. Beyond the safari there isn't much to do or visit

    The localisation nearby the kruger gate so we were within minutes in the park. The chalet was amazing and allow a real immersion within nature The staff was very helpful

    Anthony Sinden -I've noticed there might be some challenges in your current role. Have you considered discussing your concerns with your supervisor or exploring other career paths that might be a better fit for your skills and interests? All I can say : It's important to maintain a respectful and professional attitude towards coworkers. Being rude can create a negative work environment and harm relationships. It's important to address any issues calmly and constructively, seeking solutions that benefit everyone involved.

    My stay at Kruger Gate Hotel was nothing short of magical. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm smiles and exceptional service. The hotel's location, right on the edge of Kruger National Park, made it the perfect base for my safari adventures. The room was spacious, comfortable, and beautifully decorated, with a balcony that offered stunning views of the surrounding bushveld. I loved waking up to the sounds of the African bush and watching the sunset from my balcony in the evenings. The hotel's facilities were top-notch. The swimming pool was a refreshing oasis after a long day of game drives, and the on-site restaurant served delicious meals with a focus on local cuisine. The staff were always friendly and attentive, and went out of their way to ensure that my stay was perfect. One of the highlights of my stay was the guided safari offered by the hotel. The knowledgeable guide took us deep into the park, where we were able to see an incredible array of wildlife up close, including elephants, lions, and rhinos. It was an experience I will never forget. Overall, my stay at Kruger Gate Hotel was a dream come true. The combination of luxurious accommodation, stunning surroundings, and exceptional service made it a truly unforgettable experience. I can't wait to return!

    I loved the property as it was a nice hotel, great view from the pool and you can spot animals. Restaurant options are great and qualitative. The staff was very nice and helpful. Also the hotel is right next to the paul kruger gate so its convenient

    The game drives were exorbitantly priced. (about R1250 pp) The SANPARKS drive was charged at about R795 pp when you could booked online for about R550 PP. an exorbitant mark up. For the accommodation price charged most hotels would have included 2 free game drives per day. There were not enough air-conditioned spaces and temperatures were above 40 dec C

    Good dinner and breakfast buffet. Great location. Friendly staff.

    Honestly, there is no such thing that I did not like. What could be more - is I think more for the National Park: I am the kind of neardy tourist, who lives to learn during a visit. If some sort of an exhibition about the animals, or/and the people and tribes originally living there could be available somewhere (not necessarily in the hotel) - that would be amazing. All in all, the hotel is just perfect - this is more cherry on the top.

    The Kruger Gate Hotel was an excellent stay for us to explore the park's unbelievable wildlife. We spent there 4 nights, and I can only talk superlatives about this place. The staff is really kind, even though you can pre-book safaris, you will always have the option on the day before to change your mind (this is so clever! We clearly overbooked it...). The food is again amazing - they have great buffet for breakfast and dinner. The venues are jaw dropping. And the images, where you take a swim in their pool and meanwhile you see a bunch of elephants, so those imahes are REAL! I counted 8 elephants just under the time I jugged down a beer! The rooms are clean, and even though animal life is amazing - they are well kept outside your room. As a first timer, we really enjoyed the comfort of this hotel and the great safari offering they have on the menu. I wiuld definitely recommend it, and hope to return soon!

    The dinner. I think they should have an option a la carte, I’m not big fan of buffet food. Although It was ok.

    Tiny complaints: floor was too 1960's, kind of cold which took a bit of the coziness of the nice room. Terrace with view to other room's roofs was not an agreable place for us to sit.

    Always in best memory: Dinner buffet & breakfast buffet. Especially Lapa, the dinner restaurant, was wonderful, including a music/dance-program by performers from a neighbour village. Pure Africa-feeling made by long wooden walkways, friendly staff, huge guest areas and game view due to location right at Sabie River, bridge to Paul Kruger Gate. We booked "Luxury Room" which was quite big with fully (up to ceiling) separated toilet and fully separated bathroom. TV around 40 inch with smartphone mirror cast.
