Situated only 100 metres from The Kruger Gate entrance to the Kruger National Park, enter a world of suspended timber walkways threading through indigenous forests alive with birdsong.
Each of the 96 luxury en-suite bedrooms and seven six-sleeper fully equipped self-catering units at Protea Hotel Kruger Gate will make you feel part of the bush environment.
Experience the true chorus of Africa – the grunt of a hippo, the bark of a baboon or the laugh of a hyena. One of the most memorable moments of your visit will be dining under the stars in the open-air Lapa Restaurant, sampling true African cuisine including game and bubbling potjies of fragrant delicacies.
Game trails are offered within the hotel’s private reserve, with open vehicle safaris through the Kruger National Park. A birdwatcher’s paradise for young and old, hotel facilities include miniature golf, swimming pool, floodlit tennis court, volleyball and a children’s playground. Indulge in a relaxing massage treatment at Dee’s African Spa, set in a tranquil location overlooking the majestic Sabie River, and the African paradise that is the Kruger National Park.
