If you are not travelling solo, mind that there is no separation between the bathroom and the room. If you are a light sleeper, mind that the carriage rooms are not soundproof and they bounce a little - it's a train on a bridge, after all :)

The views, game drives and staff were impeccable. I couldn't recommend enough.

Lodge staff although very friendly, in general ,did not engage in conversation with guests beyond standard greetings. Not a complaint, more perhaps a suggestion for additional training?

Fabulous, unique location. Views superb Beautiful decor in the train carriages, with great beds, showers and a bath. Good menu choices for breakfast and lunch. Informative safari drive guide

• My partner and I both got massages and they were not great. Would not recommended getting massages there.

• Beautiful hotel • Great game drives with knowledgable guides who went over and above to ensure that we had a great experience (special thanks to Lawrence!) • Comfortable beds • Good variety of food for meals, and most dishes were delicious • Safe and secure parking for our car • Service was generally quite good We stayed in the Sunset Suite (ie: not on the train), and it was such a hidden gem. We got the view of the train, rather than being on the train, and had our own private patio and pool (though it was shared with monkeys, baboons, and other wildlife at times, which is just part and parcel of being in a national park). A pricey stay, but worth it for special occasions.

There is nothing that we did not like 😊

The location is truly unique, and the accommodation inside a converted train is 5 star luxury, it really is one of a kind, and the quality of service was outstanding, my wife and I had the most wonderful stay at Shalati, in fact I would say that we loved every minute of it. 🙏🙏

If you are looking for an intimate safari experience, this is unfortunately not it. But the setting, location, accommodation and delicious food makes up for that.

Kruger Shelati is an experience unlike anything we have ever experienced. The location and setting is amazing. The bridge rooms are so beautifully decorated and it has everything you need. We loved the decor pieces by local South African artists.

our rooms where on the garden. we know it before - but we did not know it's without any view. we got two rooms - one with four beds and one with double bed. since we where family of 4 - the room with four beds would be enough...and the most disturbing thing - one of our rooms where just next to the kitchen and the vents did a tribble noise till 22:00...

amazing hotel. the train cabins and the swimming pool on the bridge are once in a lifetime experience. the food was amazing, the free drinks and the safari rides where out of this world. we loved the hospitality and the way the take care of all the details. the free car wash was the cherry on the cake :-)
