Kruger Shalati The Train On The Bridge has become a 'must do' safari stay in a number of ways. Permanently stationed on the historically-rich Selati Bridge above the Sabie River in the iconic Kruger National Park, Kruger Shalati offers the most unique luxury accommodation in a re-envisioned train.
As a restored locomotive, the train-hotel Kruger Shalati pays homage to the guests who explored the park nearly 100 years ago while welcoming new explorers from near and far.
The train accommodation offers 31 rooms, consisting of 24 carriage rooms and 7 bridge house rooms. The glass-walled, large train rooms allow for infinite views along the length of the Sabie River and are designed to ensure comfort. All rooms provide guests with a high-star luxury experience, accompanied by fine dining and other leisure experiences on site. Aligned with the floor level of the train lies a deck with a pool, offering guests the unique experience of taking a dip while watching crocodiles, hippos, and elephants just meters below.
Game viewing activities include morning and evening guided game drives led by well-trained ranger-guides in the Kruger National Park, offering a wildlife experience that ranks among the best in Africa.

Hoyo Hoyo Safari and beyond
Leigh-Ann has been very helpful through out the process of book the Safari, arranging internal transfers and helping with ideas (such as the Panorama route and Angels View Hotel) and accommodation options for the remainder of our stay in South Africa

Absolutely Fantastic!
It was so difficult to find reliable companies when we started our research to travel South Africa. When we came across safari.com, we were really keen as it looked reliable and client centred. Leigh-Ann Croeser is a wonderful consultant to work with! Communication with her is clear and timely, and she is very friendly and easy to talk to. She's available at any time of the day, provided us with options, and tailored the itinerary to our needs. The payment system was secure and reliable, and we received confirmation receipts almost immediately. Couldn't recommend her enough, and can't wait for our trip!
