"Bukela is a beautiful stay, facilities are great, friendly staff and our ranger (Sim) was very knowledgeable. Foodwise is really below average, just not good especially for a 5* resort. It felt like diner was prepared during the day and heated up in the evening, just not fresh. Breakfast was really poor. Only meal that was good was the lunch. No snacks during the day. Due to this matter i will not likely to visit Bukela again nor reconmend to anyone which is regretful as the staff and facilities...

Top South Africa Hotel Reviews

Kruger Gate Hotel

Kruger Gate Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Amazing location with amazing staff! This was a brilliant place to stay and spend our time. The only item we would have liked to have available to us would have been a dinner option other than the buffet - like an upscale steakhouse or fancy menu ala carte. The buffet was good with many options but would have enjoyed a quieter dinner choice for our family. "
