Overview of Kruger Shalati

Kruger Shalati is set in an iconic location with awe-inspiring views of the celebrated Kruger National Park. Permanently stationed, it is a lovingly converted train that pays homage to the first visitors to Kruger National Park in 1920, making it a one-of-a-kind experience.

The Kruger Shalati is surrounded by over 15,000 hectares of exclusive wilderness in the southern sector of the Kruger National Park. The rooms have sophisticated African-styled interiors inspired by the bush and wooden decks connect the suites onto the Selati Bridge. The Sabie River is filled with crocodiles and hippos, and buffalos and elephants can be seen coming to the riverside to drink, all from the privacy of your luxurious accommodation.

The emphasis at the Kruger Shalati is on an immersive wildlife experience, and the trained rangers freely share their bush and game knowledge on daily game drives and bush walks. This will be a popular destination for honeymooners and families alike, catering for a diverse range of preferences – whether you are seeking relaxation by the shaded pool, high teas and spa treatments, or an active holiday engaged in game viewing.
