Friday 21 May is International Tea Day, which aims to raise awareness of the long history and the deep cultural and economic significance of tea around the world. We just think it’s a fine excuse to relax with a cuppa and enjoy the magnificent view from the Train on the Bridge.
Whether you like yours black, green, iced, with a dash of honey or milky-smooth, we’ve got a variety for any palate to enjoy. We do, however, take it to the next level (literally, suspended metres above the Sabie River on a 984-foot-long bridge); we elevate your sipping session with mouthwatering pastries, savoury treats and desserts in a high tea experience you won’t forget.
Guests at Kruger Shalati can enjoy a daily high tea in the lounge carriage before heading off on a game drive, or having a dip in the iconic overhanging pool. Celebrate International Tea Day, and any day, the Kruger Shalati way.
The summer rains have reshaped the landscape of the Kruger, and with them, the way the park is experienced in this moment. From our vantage point on the bridge, we’ve been witnessing a season of resilience, collaboration, and extraordinary wildlife encounters unfold day by day.
