Kruger Shalati – The Train on the Bridge
Nestled in the heart of Kruger National Park, Kruger Shalati offers an extraordinary safari experience unlike any other—blending historical charm, contemporary luxury, and awe-inspiring views of the African wilderness.
The standout feature is The Train on the Bridge: a reimagined vintage train stationed permanently atop the historic Selati Bridge, suspended over the Sabie River. Each carriage has been artfully transformed into a luxurious suite with floor-to-ceiling glass windows, offering panoramic views of the river and surrounding bushveld. From the comfort of your suite—or the dramatic overhanging pool—you can watch wildlife wander below, from elephants and buffalo to crocodiles basking on the banks.
Just a short walk away lies the equally elegant Bridge House, a sophisticated and serene alternative for guests who prefer a more traditional lodge setting while still enjoying direct access to the river and bridge. With spacious interiors, curated design, and private plunge pools, the Bridge House offers a peaceful sanctuary without compromising the experience.
