Exceptional in Every Detail
This was a very special chance for my daughter and I to visit Kruger Park. So I opted for a special place to stay - Kruger Shalati. We stayed in a train car on the bridge. It was elegant, quiet, and spacious with a spectacular view. Below us in the river was abundant wildlife including hippos. We enjoyed an all inclusive plan with superb dining, gracious service, and two daily safaris with exceptional guides (shout out to Lisa!) I stay in hotels 100+ nights a year and this ranks as one of the finest resorts I’ve ever experienced.

Fantastic and completely unique hotel on a train. We stayed in a garden suite which was lovely. The staff were really helpful and friendly and the food was fabulous. We had Nelly as our tour guide on the game drives and saw the big five. We will definitely be back

Beautiful resort in the vast wilderness
The staff are all so friendly and hospitable. Be ready to eat like you never have before on the fully inclusive package. Stayed in Garden room number 5 and it was very nice and spacious. Elephants, monkeys, crocodiles and hippos are all at the doorstep of the resort visiting daily which is amazing. Twice daily game drives take place at 5am and 4:30pm and we're so much fun.

Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! From the moment we checked in until the very last minute of our stay we were blown away by the uniqueness of this incredible experience! From watching crocodiles and hippos everyday to the pool area to the safari game drives with our amazing guide Lawrence we loved it all! Our carriage suite no.10 was right over the river and the views were breathtaking! Would return in a heartbeat! Thank you to all the staff at Shalati for making our stay so very special!

An outstanding experience awaits any traveler choosing to stay at Kruger Shalati.

One of our best trips ever. Staff is beyond accommodating. Went with a group of 5. Each morning and afternoon game drives are scheduled. Shout out to our guide Nelly!! He's beyond knowledgeable and knows all the patterns of the 'big 5'. He will also stop and explain fun facts about the animals, their patterns, etc. Most certainly the highlight of our trip. The property is beautiful and we saw elephants, hippos, giraffes, and crocs from our train. Service is top notch. The team remembers your preferences and the food was simply amazing. Can't say enough good things about this resort.

Our stay at the Kruger Shalati was fabulous. The staff went above and beyond to cater to our every need. Our guide on our daily game drives was extremely knowledgeable and stayed out extra time when he knew animals were in the area. Our rooms were gorgeous and the train bridge is a unique experience we will never forget. I highly recommend the Kruger Shalati and hope we are lucky enough to come back for another visit!

All you can imagine - and more!
We decided to go to ToB based on the "Reluctant Traveller" show, and we expected it to be fun and worth staying there. We were pleasantly surprised with how much better everything was than we even imagined it would be. Big Sam, the entire staff, and Lisa (our guide/driver) were all so friendly and helpful. It was a great trip and someplace we highly recommend!

Once you have done a safari here, you will not want to go anywhere else. When your room is on a train bridge and you can see wildlife from your room, have amazing twice a day game drives and excellent food and service, Shalati is a little piece of heaven. Our ranger, Sizwe, was an amazing spotter and a wonderful person.

Kruger Shalati is a truly unique and wonderful experience from start to finish. We were met at the airport by Victor and transferred to the hotel. The hotel itself is breathtaking. The staff are friendly and extremely attentive. The food is beautiful. The rooms are amazing; we saw hippos, elephants, leopard, crocodile and Cape Buffalo from our bedroom window on multiple occasions. The game drives are fantastic. Our guide for the whole stay was Victor. He is genuinely one of the nicest most passionate guides we could have hoped for. The team are incredibly lucky to him.
