Once you have done a safari here, you will not want to go anywhere else. When your room is on a train bridge and you can see wildlife from your room, have amazing twice a day game drives and excellent food and service, Shalati is a little piece of heaven. Our ranger, Sizwe, was an amazing spotter and a wonderful person.

Kruger Shalati is a truly unique and wonderful experience from start to finish. We were met at the airport by Victor and transferred to the hotel. The hotel itself is breathtaking. The staff are friendly and extremely attentive. The food is beautiful. The rooms are amazing; we saw hippos, elephants, leopard, crocodile and Cape Buffalo from our bedroom window on multiple occasions. The game drives are fantastic. Our guide for the whole stay was Victor. He is genuinely one of the nicest most passionate guides we could have hoped for. The team are incredibly lucky to him.

Unparalleled Safari Experience at Kruger Shalati
Kruger Shalati is the quintessential destination for experiencing the wonders of Kruger National Park. The game drives were exceptional, with Thuli, our driver and guide, ensuring we saw as many animals as possible. Sibusiso, our host, was incredibly warm and welcoming, always greeting us with a smile. The standout feature of Kruger Shalati is undoubtedly its breathtaking views. From both the rooms and the hotel itself, the scenery is unparalleled, making it one of the most unique locations I’ve ever had the pleasure of staying in. In my opinion, the hotel boasts the best views in all of Kruger. One suggestion for improvement would be to heat the pool in the honeymoon suite, but overall, the experience was nothing short of spectacular.

This was an end to end amazing experience. The location does a lot but without the hospitality of Kruger Shaleti we would have been lost. Victor our guide was incredible - his passion for the game animals and knowledge is unparalleled. It was inspiring to meet someone who loves their craft so much.

This trip was amazing and had it not been already it would now certainly be on our bucket list. From the moment we arrived the accommodation and the staff were perfect and everyone couldn’t have done anything more to ensure that we had a fantastic time. We honestly couldn’t find fault with anything. We feel that we need to make mention of our safari tour driver guide Thuli, her knowledge of all the animals and surroundings was really impressive and she ensured that we got to see all the big 5 and so much more. An amazing trip from start to finish.

We absolutely loved our 3 night stay at Kruger Shalati. Everything about it was top notch. The staff were outstanding, the rail carriage rooms were stunningly beautiful with a full side of windows to enjoy the beauty of the river and its visitors. We saw elephants with minutes of arriving at our room. The early morning and afternoon safari drives were amazing. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay. Thank you to Fanni and Geoff that took great care of in the dining room and to our guide Thullli who made sure we saw lots of wildlife up close. We loved every minute of our stay.

Words can’t really explain. It was an overall great experience from airport pickup to check in to check out. Our guide Lawrence went above and beyond for us. The staff and servers are very nice and professional. The food was 5 start dining quality and the hotel amenities are out of this world. I can’t fault this place aside the monkeys always bothering us during breakfast ;) jk!

Some of the best few days I have ever had on holiday. The entire experience was seamless. Staff at all times extremely welcoming and super friendly, the game drives are extremely well organised and well run. The advantage being they all communicate via radio and work together to have the best chance to see what you go for. We were there 3 nights and we saw everything we went for, all the big ones some even more than once. One extra night would have been perfect I feel

So amazing (everywhere else is now ruined)
Blown away by the view, the service, the staff and the food. Waking up to a view of the Kruger is incredible. In top of that, the staff go above and beyond to ensure you enjoy every element. The game drives are really well arranged and a huge amount was seen. This place is a cut above the rest but a warning - it will ruin everywhere else for you, it feels so special!
