At Kruger Park's Gate

Kruger Gate Hotel is located at the Paul Kruger Gate, the main entrance to Kruger National Park. The Sabie River runs alongside the property, and guests often see elephants, giraffes, and hippos from the pool deck. Skukuza Airport is 11 km away, and the hotel offers a paid airport shuttle.

“This property's proximity to the park entrance is undeniable, placing you mere moments from the wildlife within. From its vantage point, the Sabi River is a constant source of fascinating animal sightings, from hippos to elephants, right from the hotel grounds. The dining experience, particularly the Boma-style evenings, offers a well-executed taste of local cuisine and atmosphere. Beyond the safaris, the hotel's renovated facilities and attentive staff contribute to a genuinely engaging stay.”
