Hotels near Paul Kruger National Park, Skukuza

Our experience at Kruger Gate Hotel was absolutely amazing! The property itself is stunning, beautifully designed and impeccably clean throughout. The room was spacious and well-equipped, offering far more than we needed, especially since we spent most of our time out on safari. We used the gym, which was a great amenity, though we did miss having a spinning bike, would’ve loved that! My husband and I stayed for 5 days and 4 nights (we originally booked 3 nights and decided to extended 1 more) and honestly, we wish we had booked an extra day just to fully enjoy everything the hotel has to offer. The food was excellent every night, with a wide variety of proteins and vegetables, buffet-style, so we got to try something new each evening. The staff were truly exceptional. Everyone we interacted with was incredibly warm and helpful. A special mention to our waiter: Excellent, yes, that’s his name! :) who remembered our names and our usual drinks, making every dinner feel personalized and welcoming. The reception team was also fantastic, both in person and via the WhatsApp concierge line. The game drives, organized with an external provider, were also a highlight. Everything was well-coordinated, from timing to the packed breakfasts that were ready for us each morning. All in all, we highly recommend Kruger Gate Hotel

- Roximity to Kruger NP Gate - Easy drive via HWY - Value for the Money - Secure area. Great evening hike inside the property boundary.

Langa Langa was really excellent experience for us. The accommodation was top notch, comfortable beds and proper bathrooms. Oil lamps on the path give you just a touch of adventure at night. I can't say enough nice things about the staff and management on site, they were there whenever we needed them for drinks or snacks or to answer questions. The food was excellent and even my mum really enjoyed it (yeah, she's a fussy eater!). The game drives were really good, our driver/guide was very knowledgeable and would stop whenever we asked him. Lastly I have to say they made a real effort when I told them it was mum's birthday with a cake, candles and round of "Happy Birthday" which the staff learned for the occasion. I hope I can go back some day.

The property is wonderfully situated next to the river and animals can be seen at all times of the day from the common area or your balcony. The game drives were absolutely amazing. We got the big 5 and so much more! Staff are lovely and guides knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Umkumbe Riverside Lodge! Best Christmas morning of my 59 years.

Great location, convenient to airport and game drives in the park. Excellent staff, felt well taken care of.
