Beautiful, we drove in and drove out, which was a great experience. make sure you book the right airport and you won’t have to drive your own car although we loved driving around ourselves in addition to the wonderful game drives. The staff and the Safari drivers were the best. The garden rooms were lovely and we saw many animals and baby hippo, newly born from the view on the train track
Take warm clothes the Safari rides are early in the morning and late at night for more animal viewing

I really have no words. This was one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had. I’m coming from the US and this was our first safari experience, my husbands first time in Africa, and I was beyond blown away. From the service, to the dining options, to the attention to detail… everything was a 10 out of 10. We stayed in one of the carriage suits and it was beyond memorable! LOVE KRUGER SHALATI!
