Kruger Gate Hotel is a fantastic location right at the entrance to Kruger Park, making it incredibly convenient for wildlife enthusiasts. We took a safari organized by the hotel and were thrilled to see all the animals from the Big Five. The pool is wonderful and offers a stunning view of the river, where we had the unique opportunity to see elephants, antelopes, hippos, and giraffes coming right up to the edge.

The rooms are clean and very exceptionally to a very high standard. 👌. The rooms are very comfortable and the bed is very good. The microwave a very needed addition because not many shops remain open at night and after a night out. They give you remote gate keys for late coming and going out at night.

We spent 2 nights in Motswari Private Game Reserve and it was an unforgettable experience! Wonderful food, service, exclusivity and personal attention. Our ranger, Marius was exceptional and made every game drive and our walking safari unforgettable. His trackers, Elvis and Misha was just as amazing with their knowledge of the animals and the bush. We saw 3 of the 5 "big five" in just 1.5 days of being there, thanks to these guys. The food and service at the lodge was beyond our expectations in every way. I was a vegetarian and they catered for me with exceptional skill and charm. The food was really outstanding, thank you Glenda and team! Our other hosts, Desmond and MJ looked after every detail and made our stay wonderful. Our room was large, luxurious and comfortable. We each had a great massage too (thank you Lerato), in a space where you can watch giraffes walk by... The setting of this private lodge is amazing, you overlook a river with giraffes and elephants walking by. We even had a hyena come close to us while sitting around the camp fire - so special. This was a once in a life time experience and we hope to be back again soon!

How to express the highest satisfaction when 10 is not enough? Fantastic breakfast! Perfect dinner! Helpful staff! The greatest satisfaction with the attitude of the waiter/barman TABOU. We had a great time in the swimming pool. Tabou came often to ask us for our needs. We were really excited! We felt safe. We felt taken care about us. The room was clean, tidy, modern equipment. The furniture felt like new. The environment and facilities would not be enough for full satisfaction. The excitement was due to the connection with the staff who took care of everything perfectly.

We stayed 4 nights and everything about the stay was an absolute dream, only made possible by the team at Ivory Wilderness. Each excursion felt unique and Shane and Warren are clearly so passionate and knowledgeable, making every sighting big or small an incredible experience. The location on the river is beautiful and very peaceful and meals were varied and delicious.

FAQs about hotels in Mpumalanga

A Lush Garden of Eden

Mountains, rivers, canyons, valleys, waterfalls, savannah, wildlife…  These are some of the things that can be said without being able to ‘tell’ the magnificence of this paradise. South Africa’s eastern Mpumalanga Province offers treasuries like the Kruger National Park, the Blyde River Canyon and the Sudwala caves.

It is divided in 2 by the Escarpment of the Drakensberg Mountains, with peaks 2,000 metres high. Travelling east, the area of the Lowveld hosts half of the Kruger National Park, shared also with the Limpopo Province.

Entering the Lowveld from Lydenburg, the Long Tom pass leads you to the charming town of Sabie. Graskop is close to Blyde River Canyon, while Hazyview is near the Kruger Park’s Skukuza Gate. A wide range of Mpumalanga hotels are available in these towns.

The picturesque Nelspruit is the provincial capital. From all the hotels in Mpumulanga, Nelspruit has probably the greatest variety, due to its economical and administrative importance. The proximity to Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport makes the neighbouring White River a good option.

Malelane, Komatipoort and Marloth Park can be found following the Crocodile River towards Mozambique. They offer great accommodation, sometimes directly inside game reserves.

1. Marloth Park is an excellent location to visit the Kruger National Park, with a short drive to the crocodile bridge. 2. Limited options in the way of restaurants and what is offered is not great. 3. Limited options for shopping for essentials. There is a SPAR, but if you catch it during the wrong time of day, prepare to que. 4. There is family run retail store called INGWE supermarket. Very friendly and I suggest trying the koeksisters. 5. BOMA Butchery is in the same shopping park and have a good selection of meats for the braai. 6. If at all possible, take everything with you in cooler boxes, especially the items you cannot live without as you may not find them. Overall Marloth park is simply an excellent gateway into the Kruger National Park.

It’s a charming little town with a basic supermarket, so if you forget anything, you’ll likely find something basic there. That said, I’d still recommend buying your self-catering groceries and essentials before you arrive. There’s also a great variety of restaurants to choose from.

Rating: ★★★★☆

Rating: ★★★★☆ Natural Beauty and Great Dining Marred by Neglected Infrastructure The Skukuza area remains one of the most stunning regions of Kruger National Park. Despite some operational challenges, the sheer abundance of wildlife—ranging from massive elephant herds to frequent lion and leopard sightings along the Sabie River—is breathtaking. Wildlife and Natural Beauty The scenery is spectacular, especially the riverine forests along the Sabie and Sand River loops, which are prime spots for game viewing. Even from within the camp, you can often see hippos and crocodiles in the river below. Nearby Lake Panic is a must-visit for birdwatchers and photographers seeking a peaceful atmosphere. Dining Highlights Skukuza offers some of the best dining variety in the park: Kruger Station: This unique lifestyle precinct is built into a beautifully restored historical train station. You can dine inside old train carriages or on the deck. The menu is diverse, featuring standout items like venison pies and artisan pizzas. Cattle Baron Steakhouse: Known for its "grilled perfection," this is the go-to spot for a quality steak. The large outdoor deck overlooking the river provides one of the best dining views in the entire park.

Very bad experience !!.

Very bad experience !!. I hate bad surprise and this was we received. The road was very dangerous and we need to ask many times the assistance of the host to collect us from the other side of the RIVER which most of the cars could not enter. Once enters it is our own risk. Other guests that supposed to cross over advised us not to proceed as the River is connected to Hippo and Crocodile river. There might be a crocs all over the place as we could not even see the narrow bridge to cross over. All we see was a huge water covering the narrow bridge and the pity thing was that there will be no alternative road but to travel back of more than 2 hours with muddy/rugged road in the forest. Pot holes to cross over is very deep. We also stuck on the road for almost a whole day due to the road are packed of those people going back to Mozambique. We booked for 2 nights (3 days) but we decided to leave the place early in the morning as we really wasted our time from coming there with bad expectations of non-moving traffic. We are very tired and we expect to rest once we arrive to the lodge however, a very scarry experienced to cross over those angry overflowing water under the bridge is our nightmare. Not advisable for DECEMBER holiday and/or rainy days. I requested the host to refund the night that we don't use due to bad expectations, and he said I must request Booking.com. Booking.com making me difficult to contact and the platform of complaint page not even working. The " SUBMIT" button always sending message " please sent again".
