Kruger Shalati - Train on the Bridge and Garden Suites

Kruger Shalati - Train on the Bridge and Garden Suites

10/10 Excellent
"An incredible experience from beginning to end. After the post-booking questionnaire on my favourite tipple, my expectations were high for the upcoming trip to Shalati. Those expectations were exceeded in the superior level of service, quality of food/drink, the room and the overall Shalati experience. The included game drives were great, knowing in advance that luck plays a significant part in what you see or don't see. My thanks and appreciation to Angel, Mzwandile and Tenashe for making the stay so memorable."

Rhino Walking Safaris

Rhino Walking Safaris

10/10 Excellent
". A very private location in the bush. Staff: friendly and very efficient. Very clean and well-organized rooms: warm duvets, scented linens, a full bathroom courtesy set, a flashlight for the night, and insect repellent spray are provided in the room. The cuisine is amazing: tasty, well-cooked, hot, and beautifully served. The guide is very courteous, knowledgeable, and helpful. An intense holiday experience in a magical setting. There are only four very large tents, and they are well-distributed in the bush. Everyone dines at a table together. The table is set with white, well-ironed tablecloths, and the glassware is worthy of a fine dining establishment."

10/10 Excellent
"Our safari experience was truly unforgettable! Nestled within Kruger National Park, the lodge offered comfortable and clean cabins. The friendly staff went above and beyond to ensure each day was exceptional. A special shout-out to our guide, Andrew, whose expertise led us to see four out of the Big Five, along with many other animals in their natural habitat. Every morning and evening safari was a highlight, enhanced by thoughtful touches like coffee and snacks during the morning trips and wine and snacks in the evenings. Dining at the lodge was a delight, with gourmet meals served while we watched wildlife gather at the waterhole. This was a fantastic experience that I highly recommend!"

"Kruger park was only about 20 minutes away by drive. All of the staff were wonderful. So friendly. Whatever you wanted, they would get for you. I couldn’t single out one staff member because they were all perfect. The suites are gorgeous and spotless with a wonderful view of the Sabe River. The food was excellent and so plentiful. I couldn’t think of a better place to stay to get to Kruger and experience the game drives. The drivers were excellent and it was easy to see their love for the animals and nature of South Africa. Highly recommend."
