About Kruger Shalati the Train on the Bridge
Kruger Shalati – The Train on the Bridge is a luxury boutique hotel permanently stationed on the historic Selati Bridge, suspended directly above the Sabie River within the Skukuza rest camp area of Kruger National Park. The property pays homage to the 1920s rail safaris when the park's very first tourists parked overnight on this exact spot, and it consists of 24 Carriage Suites built inside re-engineered train carriages featuring floor-to-ceiling glass walls, alongside 7 Bridge House Suites located in an adjacent garden setting.
Guests have access to an overhanging swimming pool and viewing deck suspended directly on the bridge, which provides elevated views of the river wildlife below, and the stay includes guided game drives within the national park. The hotel is located a 10-minute drive from Skukuza Airport, which serves as the primary regional flight hub for visitors arriving by air.
