크루거 샬라티 - 다리 위의 기차와 정원 스위트

We spent 5 nights at Kruger Shalati for our honeymoon and can honestly say it is the best hotel we have ever stayed at. We stayed in the Bridge House Sunset Suite with our own private terrace and pool overlooking the river and train. The setting is incredible – one day we watched elephants and hippos wandering beneath the bridge from our terrace! We did 9 game drives and saw the Big Five and so much more. Our guide, Sizwe, was amazing. He was knowledgeable, passionate and genuinely wanted us to have the best experience. On one morning it was just the two of us, and he created an incredible game drive, even finding us a rhino so we could complete our Big Five. Lorrecia and Ernest looked after us impeccably throughout our stay, while the kitchen team produced some of the best food we have ever experienced – genuinely Michelin-star quality in our opinion. They even adapted dishes for us when portions were too large. Nothing was ever too much trouble. We asked for a parasol for our terrace and the team came and built one for us without hesitation. The whole place is awe-inspiring, and the story behind Kruger Shalati and the opportunities it provides for local people make it even more special. An unforgettable honeymoon and memories we will treasure forever. We sincerely hope to return one day!

O Kruger Shalati é uma excelente propriedade. Porém, tivemos momentos que excederam nossas expectativas, e outros que ficaram abaixo das nossas expectativas. A guia nao nos ajudou com nossas bagagens e o check in não foi dos melhores. Questionei se seria possível um upgrade. Me disseram que estavam 100% lotados. Logo após o almoço, me informaram que eu poderia fazer o upgrade, pagando um valor adicional (que era superior ao valor da diaria do quarto oferecida no hoteis). Me senti enganado. Na primeira noite, tinham funcionários conversando alto proximo ao nosso quarto. Tive de pedir que nao fizessem barulho. Nosso primeiro dia estava ruim. A partir do segundo dia, no entanto, foi incrivel. O gerente do hotel pediu desculpas pelos problemas e nos ofereceu um massagem, o que achei bastante cordial. Nos safaris, vimos guepardo, leopardo, elefantes, girafas, leoes. O safari do ultimo dia foi o melhor de todos. Vimos leoes ao nosso lado. Tudo estava incrivel e se encaminhando para nota 5. Porém, logo apos o checkout (11h, nosso voo era 1430), nao nos sentimos confortáveis no hotel. Parecia que não queriam mais nossa presença. Nao nos ofereceram aguas, e os funcionários da recepção passaram a nos tratar sem cordialidade. Fomos também almocar no hotel e inicialmente parecia que nao queriam nos servir o almoço. Depois voltaram atras e serviram. De todo modo, é um otimo local. Mas nao é 5 star. Tivemos momentos incriveis e outros ruins.

most amazing place I’ve ever stayed

This place is incredible and I can’t wait to return. Absolutely worth every penny.

What a delightful experience at the Kruger Shalati!! From the amazing staff to the amazing facility, everything was full stars! When we left, I was so sad to return to the “real world”. We had the pleasure of riding with Victor for our daily game rides and spotted all Big 5! Victor was amazing along with his companion Amaze! We also had the pleasure of having our waiter Bheki for lunch and Dinner and Kate for breakfast. They were tremendous! The food was also amazing. You have to book this stay!! I’m missing it every day.
