Watch NowKruger Shalati is for the traveller looking for something out of the ordinary and a unique perspective of the wildlife-rich Kruger National Park. This refurbished train with 24 luxury carriages pays homage to the reserve and overlooks the ever-flowing Sabi River. This means that you get to enjoy excellent floor-to-ceiling wildlife views right from your carriage or the overhanging swimming pools.
The entire experience is curated to give you a high-end adventure while at the same time making a difference, as Kruger Shalati is involved with many organisations supporting the surrounding rural communities. This brand-new innovative African safari is a must on your itinerary.
Kruger Shalati is located in the world-renowned, wildlife-rich Kruger National Park. This park is the Big 5 safari mecca, with travellers from across the globe making their way here to catch a glimpse of them in the wild. And there is no shortage of luxury and unique lodges here either, and Kruger Shalati is a prime example of this.
Very! Kruger National Park is in South Africa, and the country is very progressive. In fact, South Africa was the fifth country globally to legalise gay marriage and the first to outlaw discrimination based on sexual orientation. Kruger Shalati is very accepting and welcoming to all LGBTQ+ travellers and will go out of their way to make your stay extra special.
There's so much for the gay traveller to do at Kruger Shalati! From your twice-daily guided game drives to playing a round of golf in the African wilderness at Skukuza, luxury-filled adventure awaits. If you prefer to take things easy, cool off and sip a cocktail as you drink in the views from the overhanging pool on the railway track overlooking the Sabi River. The river flows year-round, which means that you will always get to see wildlife stroll past.
Kruger Shalati is located in Kruger National Park, which is a year-round destination. However, the seasons differ, so it's all about what you as a visitor want to experience. In summer, rainfall is high, and the bush is emerald green. It's also during these warm yet wet summer months that animals give birth, giving you the cutest baby wildlife sightings! If you want the best game viewing, winter is ideal as the bush is sparse, making it very easy to see the wildlife. The most popular time to visit Kruger is from July to December, so you will have to book well in advance.
