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.

Safari Serinade
My wife and I used Safar.com to book a safari in the Kruger. Leigh-Ann was very helpful and the itinerary she planned was very detailed and it was just what we were looking for. Leigh-Ann contacted me the evening of our arrival in South Africa to inform me that our lodge was closed due to the flooding in some of the Kruger, and did I wish to have a refund or go to an alternative lodge. I would like thank Leigh-Ann and her colleagues who at short notice reorganised our itinerary enabling us to have an amazing safari experience. Safari.com's local knowledge and expertise made our trip truly a memorable one. I would highly recommend Safari.com to anyone seeking their services.

South Africa Safari and Garden Route
Leigh-Ann was outstanding and very helpful in putting an itinerary together not just for a Safari but including internal flights and accommodation in Cape Town and all along the Garden Route. Would highly recommend using Safari.com for your South Africa trips especially if it is your first trip.
