The spacious and ultra luxurious rooms (which were well equipped and quiet) and the serene yet central location made us wish we booked a longer stay. Stunning location to explore the many activities and experiences that the town of Hoedspruit and surrounding area has to offer. Little shops, restaurants and of course the Greater Kruger are right on your doorstep. We were warmly greeted and the helpful and friendly staff assisted us in planning and arranging everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and memorable.

Gorgeous! Clean beautiful house, delicious food. Very friendly host and staff, who tried to create a warm, homely atmosphere. The place is located in a natural park and is very good for wildlife lovers. We walked around the park and saw a lot of pumbs, antelopes and giraffes, which we even managed to get quite close to. It was a very amazing adventure!

It was a delightful experience! The property is exceptionally well-maintained, with brand new cottages that are not only beautifully designed but also spotlessly clean. Although we didn’t get a chance to use it, the pool looked very inviting (and clean). One of the highlights of our stay was the proximity to a nearby national park, which allowed us to see some amazing wildlife right from the property. It was such a treat to watch the animals so close by. We also enjoyed the estate’s restaurant - breakfast was tasty and made with fresh ingredients. It is a fantastic place to stay, offering comfort, cleanliness, and a wonderful connection to nature. Highly recommended!

FAQs about hotels in Kruger National Park

Spectacular Stomping Ground of the Big Five

Covering almost 2 million hectares, Kruger is South Africa’s most important national park and is home to the Big Five: lion, African elephant, buffalo, leopard and rhino. In the country’s north-eastern corner, by the Swaziland and Mozambique borders, it also sees giraffe, zebra, hyena and crocodile (to name but a few) grace its watering holes and rivers.

Of the 8 South African gates to the park, Crocodile Bridge Gate is closest to Marloth Park and Komatipoort, both housing a good selection of game lodges and hotels near Kruger National Park. To the west, the farming town of Malelane has its own gate.

Kruger Mpumalanga Airport is the region’s main entry point and nearby Nelspruit has the greatest concentration of luxury Kruger Park hotels on Booking.com. The Numbi Gate is around an hour’s drive away, via the town of White River. Also near this gate is Hazyview, while Sabie to the west is peacefully located by a river fed by waterfalls.

A waterfall also plunges to the gorge floor in Graskop to the north, while Hoedspruit is closest to the wonderful Blyde River Canyon. Ha-Lambani has the northernmost Kruger Park accommodation and Phalaborwa to the south has a park gate. Further south are the Timbavati and Balule games reserves, while Skukuza is in the heart of the park, near the main gate.

    Exceptional service in an exceptional location. once you’ve done a safari in a private reserve you will never look back, and this is the best lodge in the best reserve. Made to feel very special, all the staff knew our names from the moment we arrived. Game drives all stunning, good fabulous and nothing was too much trouble. already plotting our return, and this time we will bring friends and family to share it with. Justice and Elvis were the best of hosts on the game drives.

The rooms are squeaky clean and the bed terribly comfortable! The staff is friendly and I asked one of them to take pictures of me for memories. I also loved that staff is LGBTQ affirming. 10 10 10 across the board!

    Nelspruit is a well run city, s gateway for anyone passing through to Maputo-mozambique, Limpopo, the Kruger Park. The one bad thing about the place is lack of taxi services like Bolt or Uber locally. One has to do with the local minibus taxis which do not always service some areas and operate at set hours. There are some operators but charge speculative fares due to the absence of app based taxis. I'm told this is due to minibus taxi operators blocking their activities. An example is going to/fro the airport which is problematic, or going to Maputo. There are few options.

    Hoedspruit is close to the airport where most flights carrying tourists to the Kruger National Park lands. It is a vibrant town with a restaurants, a good hospital and where one can stock up on groceries,etc. for a visit to the park. It is surrounded by lots of game reserves and close to the Numbi entrance gate. An ideal place to sleepover on or back to the airport and Johannesburg.

    A nice place to be. Not enough for a short stay. There is so much to do and see if you visit a place a few days. The Kruger Park is within reach. The eateries are relatively a few km away. Rural but very nice experience for an urban person.

    Not too far from the N4. About an hours drive to most attractions, like the Kruger, Lone Creek Falls, Lisbon Falls and God's Window. Graskop Gorge is also on the way to Blyde River Canyon. The scenery while driving makes the drive worth it.

    Phalaborwa as a town was a deep disappointment.

    Phalaborwa as a town was a deep disappointment. The roads are in a very bad state and the general condition of the streets, pavements and rubbish lying around is a disgrace for the municipality. There are no streetlights working and the overall deterioration of the town is the last thing one wants to show overseas visitors. The tar road leading to the Kruger gate is obviously in a good condition but that is all. The Pick and Pay and the Spur are closed due to a fire incident and there are not a lot of restaurants to go to dinner for.
