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!

This was a very special chance for my daughter and I to visit Kruger Park. So I opted for a special place to stay - Kruger Shalati. We stayed in a train car on the bridge. It was elegant, quiet, and spacious with a spectacular view. Below us in the river was abundant wildlife including hippos. We enjoyed an all inclusive plan with superb dining, gracious service, and two daily safaris with exceptional guides (shout out to Lisa!) I stay in hotels 100+ nights a year and this ranks as one of the finest resorts I’ve ever experienced.

The staff are all so friendly and hospitable. Be ready to eat like you never have before on the fully inclusive package. Stayed in Garden room number 5 and it was very nice and spacious. Elephants, monkeys, crocodiles and hippos are all at the doorstep of the resort visiting daily which is amazing. Twice daily game drives take place at 5am and 4:30pm and we're so much fun.

An outstanding experience awaits any traveler choosing to stay at Kruger Shalati. The staff is friendly, professional, and attentive; the food is ample and delicious; the rooms are stunning and luxurious; and the view of exotic animals interacting in the wild is extraordinary. This is truly a one of a kind trip! Well done!!
