"Have stayed here several times and will continue to do so when coming to Kruger. It's a great property , really comfortable rooms with everything you need, and you cannot beat the location!"
"Everything was great! Our guide was very knowledgeable and conscientious of the needs and wants of his group. So exciting to have a herd of elephants come up and drink from the pool."
"Extremely good experience, everything is planned out for you nicely. The guides have more than 25 years of experience and it shows in the information, the stories that they share with you. Pricing is great, meals are all prepared for you as well!
Would definitely go back again if and when we head back to Kruger!"
"Such a lovely resort, the people are friendly, the food is different every night, the tents are stunning and the guides clearly love their jobs which make the drives so enjoyable, would 100% recommend staying here."
"We had a wonderful stay! We honestly booked without expectations and were blown away. The staff has your whole day planned and makes sure you are cared for and pampered the entire time. The massage therapist was amazing! Our guide and tracker (Mark and Nickel) made the drives completely memorable. Our butler was also very professional and accommodating to our preferences! Owners take pride in their property and went out to their way to make sure our experience was perfect. My family highly...

"Camp Shawu Tents have a unique location in front of a watering hole that house Hippos, and see a string of animals come to hydrate like elephants, impalas, and giraffes....You can seat on your deck and enjoy the show. Our Safari Guide Sifiso, was AMAZING! He made the trip even more special.
The property lacks maintenance ...the pool was not maintained hence looked like a mosquito fest, the umbrellas were all broken hence no shade to sit out on the beautiful deck overlooking the watering hole,...

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."
"Very pleasant stay by the river on the way back from Kruger. Pleasant staff, good food, rooms a little old but good facilities. They even wash the mud off the car each morning!"
"Have stayed here several times and will continue to do so when coming to Kruger. It's a great property , really comfortable rooms with everything you need, and you cannot beat the location!"
"A wonderful stay in Marloth Park. Great lodge location and room with animals wandering outside. Very friendly and helpful team, including Natalie, Cecilia, Joseph and Amos. Tasty braai and lots of choice for breakfast. Thanks to everyone helping bring this Kruger trip to another eventful close."
"Super accueil ambiance familiale et chaleureuse. Personnel courtois et avenant. Expérience exceptionnelle! Nous avons vu plusieurs animaux grâce à notre guide. Nourriture exceptionnelle! Site sublime en nature."
"Superbe endroit! La nourriture est excellente. Nous avons eu la chance de voir pleins d’animaux dont 2 rhinocéros blancs. Le personnel est sympathique et toujours prête à nous aider. Nous recommandons vivement!"
