We loved the location, right at the gate to the National Park. It’s such a magical arriving at the pool and seeing the wildlife across the river. The facilities are exceptional, rooms are beautiful and the staff couldn’t do enough for you. Food and drink options also great. A special shoutout to Gibson and Enoch for the incredible games drives - they really went above and beyond to make sure that our experience was memorable. Our only regret is we didn’t stay a little longer.

Located in a quiet, peaceful setting, just minutes from the main entrance to Kruger National Park. We only spent one night here, but during that time everything seemed very well organised. The room was relatively spacious and very comfortable, with nice large windows giving a very good view of the garden.

It was very comfortable and luxurious, yet in the middle of the animal action. The staff were helpful and supportive in every way.

It is very conveniently located near the airport and elegantly furnished. Exceptional staff: helpful, friendly, smiling. For Europeans, almost too concerned with the guests’ well-being. They can solve any problem smoothly. Credit card payment everywhere. Didn’t check the pool, temperature wasn’t too inviting. We might come back on our honeymoon. The picture is the entrance of the village, the lodge itself is in the same style but more elegantly designed. If you wanna impress your gal, you’ve found the right place.

Spacious and comfortable room and lovely pool and gym facilities. Immediate access the park so great for self-drives or guided tours. The breakfast buffet was excellent but the evening buffet was pretty average, however, there are other restaurant choices within walking distance.

Skukuza is a gem—especially if you want that mix of real bush experience without giving up comfort. It’s one of the bigger camps in Kruger, so there’s quite a bit going on, but it still manages to feel peaceful. Favourite spots: We really enjoyed the early morning drives around the park. We were self-driving but cleverly kept an eye on the guided tour operator vehicles, and that helped us catch most of the big sightings. It made the whole experience exciting and rewarding. Where we ate: We mostly self-catered but had a nice meal at the Kruger Hotel on our first evening after arriving past 7 pm. Most of our shopping was done at the Park Shop inside the camp—it was well-stocked and convenient. We even bought some game meat (like kudu and impala), which we braaied once we returned to Rixile. It was delicious and made for a real bush-style dinner. Getting around: Very easy. The camp is drivable and well signposted. If you’re self-driving (as most people are), Skukuza is a great central base for game drives, with plenty of routes and good animal sightings in every direction. Activities for groups of friends: Game drives are the highlight—we had some unforgettable ones. I'd also suggest booking a guided morning drive and, if you're feeling adventurous, trying different types of game meat like wildebeest, crocodile, or impala. It’s a fun experience to share as a group. Evenings back at camp were equally special—braaiing under the stars, swapping stories, and comparing notes on sightings. Skukuza offers just the right balance of wild and comfortable.

I saw loads of the animals I was looking for, Giraffe, Rhino, Impala, Crocodile, Elephants Kudu, and even a couple of Lions and 2 Leopards. Saw the Wild Dogs and Buffalo. I also played golf at Skukuza Golf Club which was a bit of fun. Everyone was friendly and we always felt safe.

Located close skukuza gate of the Kruger national park. It was value for money. Friendly staff and helpful. Missed having a kitchen portion, as it was not self catering. Really enjoyed our stay there.

We had a brilliant stay at Rixile. The location is private, tranquil and the property is spotless, finished to a high standard and well equipped. Clint couldn’t be more helpful and we had such a comfortable stay. We were on the fence about staying at Kruger Gate Hotel before we had booked and I’m so glad we didn’t as this stay felt a lot more personal - with access to the hotel facilities. Highly recommend and hope to return.

The accommodation is breathtaking with views over the river. You can watch elephants and hippo graze below you. The food is fantastic, every meal was an experience and the hotel staff are attentive and cater for every need. If you are looking for out of this world accommodation and food, with exceptional service than this is a must visit.

Fabulous selection for breakfast and dinner. Great packed breakfast for early morning safari. Rooms cool, clean and very comfortable. Pool area with infinity deck was a real treat. Safari guide, Justice, was absolutely amazing - very knowledgable and great at spotting wildlife. All staff in the hotel were super friendly and welcoming.

Situated in the heart of the Skukuza Camp, makes it so convenient for easy, accessible game viewing, whether by self-drive, or guided trips. The breakfast buffet was very good with a good variety on offer. The evening buffet was pretty average but there are other restaurants in the camp one can try. Will definitely visit again!
