Kruger Gate Hotel

Kruger Gate Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel is unique one of a kind as you walk in it starts to resemble a treehouse as you unknowingly become suspended above the ground. The staff were helpful, helping you organize safaris, any other activities or trips you were thinking of. All the staff were always free for a chat and you could ask any questions, they were all very knowledgeable. The room was clean and well appointed they were serviced daily and in my experience the standard would be rated 5star. Booking a Safari is easy, advisable to contact the hotel via e mail well before you leave as places fill up fast. The Safari is a once in a lifetime experience you will never forget. The guides are excellent in a way that you have to experience to understand just how good they are, they see things you just would never have seen, they speak with each other all day so are updated on the latest happenings and they get you there before it’s gone. The hotel lap pool sits with a view across the river into the game reserve. Whilst I was there I saw Elephants, Hippos, Crocodile, Buffaloes and more right below the pool. There is opportunity to dine on the deck or in one of the viewing rooms. The main restaurant is a delight, they cater for everyone and if you can’t find anything you fancy I’d be shocked, shout out to the pastry chefs the deserts are fantastic. Would I go again, yes in a heartbeat, both my wife and I consider the best lifetime experience we have had and we’re not young."
