We loved staying at Kruger Gate Hotel - the staff were so lovely and friendly and created a very festive atmosphere singing and dancing at dinner in the evenings. The hotel is gorgeous and the spa experience divine. We booked a morning safari and an afternoon and saw the big 5 before 10am! Our guide Gibson was awesome and also really funny. The afternoon safari is quite hot at this time of year so mornings are better and you see much more. It was a very special experience for us all. Read less

What a phenomenal outdoor experience. It was so divine to be one with nature and enjoy the views. I loved seeing the animals and the sunset game drive are phenomenal. Can't wait to go back again and enjoy the bliss that comes from being outside.
