Kruger Shalati - Train on The Bridge & Garden Suites, hotel in Skukuza

Situated in Skukuza, 10 km from Skukuza Indigenous Plants Nursery and 2 km from Skukuza Museum, Kruger Shalati - Train on The Bridge & Garden Suites features accommodation with free WiFi, air...

Staying in a train carriage that's been converted nicely into a hotel room on a bridge over a river in Kruger was a dreamlike experience! Looking down from our window and balcony or from the lounge mid-bridge, we saw elephants, water buffalo, hippos and crocodiles--and that was just to start. On our twice daily game drives, we saw the Big 5 and more--and that was within the first 24 hours of arriving! The staff was wonderful, in particular our driver, Nelly, and Jeffrey and Fanni in the restaurant. The property is beautiful, and everything was so easy, from landing at Skukuza Airport (charming) to driving 10 minutes to the property (Nelly picked us up) to all meals to our daily game drives, all included! And it was a great value too!

Best days in my life. The staff (Julia, Philile) were incredible, very supportive and knowledgeable! And the safari was UNBELIEVABLE, we saw SIX leopards in ONE DAY and the big five! I would like to thanks the chef Tilly for the amazing food as well! Our guide Jordan was THE BEST one ever, he did everything to reach the animals and knew everything about them.

Looking for a lodge?

Ideal for nature-lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and self-catered. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than holiday homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.

    I had the pleasure of experiencing several game drives at Jock Safari Lodge recently, and I must say that the expertise and dedication of our ranger truly enhanced the entire adventure. He exhibited an exceptional knowledge of the local flora and fauna, providing insightful information and making each game drive an educational and memorable experience. His passion for wildlife conservation was evident, creating a contagious enthusiasm.

    Nothing because the house offered was not what we had booked . On booking.com the properties are not listed as lodges but villas so we got a very old house and the pictures are a mixture of all the places at elephant point

    The highlights were the location of the Train above the Sabi River - unbeatable! Beautiful, well positioned pools, decks, bars and chill areas provide a world class safari and luxurious atmosphere. The food offering at all meals was the best we have experienced at any five star game lodge in South Africa - exceptional! Special dietary requirements are particularly well catered for and the all inclusive drinks policy is a bonus. Staff customer orientation is outstanding - all guest requests were accommodated with enthusiasm.
