100 Years of Kruger. Only 100 Bed Nights.
There is a moment just before the rains return where everything feels suspended.
The earth is dry. The air is charged. The sky gathers itself.
Kruger Shalati gets the thumbs-up
Kruger Shalati opened in December 2020 – possibly the worst year in recent history to open a hotel, but we remained positive.
It’s five months in and it’s been nothing short of amazing – for us, as well as our guests. Our guests’ positive feedback has been overwhelming:
“One of the most amazing bathroom views I’ve ever seen” @bosveld_blommetjie
“As far as Pools go, this has to beat them all” @yakochevnik
“I’ve never been a fan of the term ‘bucket list’ (I call mine a life list), but no matter what you call your collection of dreams, a stay at Kruger Shalati: The Train on the Bridge definitely must be on it!” – Jacquie Gauthier
“After experiencing many premium lodges I can confidently rate The Train the premier experience in Kruger bar none.” – Antonio Da Cruz
As a very regular Kruger visitor over the past 40 years, I can honestly say it was an incredible experience. To be suspended so high above the river was amazing” – Peter Hall
