We visited the hotel at the start of the cold season so the evenings got quite cold. It would be nice to have blankets or heat lamps but in the end, it was manageable with a few layers.

What an unforgettable experience! The rooms have been turned into such comfortable spaces, with incredible views on the area. There is simply no way not to catch some live action. I'd forgotten that the rooms had bath tubs so that was an additional treat; I took a couple of baths, and watched life unfold for nearly an hour. The rest of the facilities were top notch: from the restaurant to the cars that took us one on morning and afternoon drives. The meals were delicious and we got to try a variety of meats that we'd never tried before (Kudu, Warthog, etc). What really made this stay extraordinary is the attention to each guest's comfort. We were assigned a couple of people that assisted us with our meals each and everyday (Sma, Polite), as well as a dedicated driver (Lisa) who really made our stay as comfortable as possible. Not to mention so many other people that really went above and beyond. We would love to, and hope that we will be able to come back again.

Only the weather :) We were just unlucky with the rain but still made for an enjoyable experience which didn't stop the amazing game viewing experiences.

A wonderful trip, staff were attentive, the facilities were absolutely amazing with stunning views; and the game viewing was spectacular. We loved our trip to Shalati.

Everything was perfect on our stay. There was nothing we disliked.

Very very friendly staff. Nice rooms with a unique view. We especially liked the Game Drives with Victor who showed us stunning places and we saw highlights such as baby lions, zebras, Elefants, leopards and much more and he gave lots of background knowledge so we learned a lot how the animals and nature are in sync in Kruger park. We can definitely recommend staying in Kruger Shalati. Would book there again every time for visiting Kruger Park.

Beautiful hotel, great service, excellent food, helpful staff, amazing game drives with Theboho, been in the Kruger national park give you great chance to see a lot of game. Group of hippos lives just under the bridge under the train. Suites on land are just amazing: big, clean, comfortable.

The hand towel had a ragged edge, the serviettes were frayed and on one occasion still wet. I considered the laundry charges high. Would have preferred the morning drive to be later, perhaps an early breakfast and depart 7.30/8.00

Like the whole set up on the bridge and the attention to detail on the construction.

Stayed in March 2024

The pool timings are limited. Would have loved to hang out by the pool at night.

Amazing hospitality, room and food.

The stay and experienes at Shalati are simply unforgettable. The design of the hotel is very unique. We are travelling with a kid, hence have to stay at the landside garden suite, but the suite is equally elegant and spacious. The interior is beautiful, the bathroom very spacious. The staff and meals are AMAZING, we attended the Valentine's Day special evening with live performance, it was wonderful! We are greeted in and out from Safaris, which is the best part of the experience at Shalati. We all loved our Safari rides with Michek, he is the best guide ever! Every day its a combination of two exciting Safari trips, and in between the relaxation with good food, hospitality from the staff, fun pools, wildlifes in and surrounding Shalati. The whole experience way exceeded our expectations! We will recommend it to everyone!

Not being able to stay a little longer.

The location is incredible with an extensive view of the river. From the terrace one can see elephants, hippos and even crocodiles. The game drives twice a day are a must especially when you have a great guide like Victor. The food is also excellent. I would also like to stress out the great service of Angel and Vlak at the restaurant.

Nothing not to like

The rooms on the train were just phenomenal! The swimming pools were great.

Stayed in March 2024

Nothing, the only thing that I thought could be slightly improved are just some areas of the food. But the food generally is also very good.

This is a truly unique venue. The rooms are beautiful and the views amazing.
