A one of a kind project is currently underway right near the Sabie River located in the majestic plane of the Kruger National Park.
Elevated above the flowing Sabie River and positioned on a bridge is a unique development – a train hotel is currently being built. It will be the first of its kind in the entire world and a perfect development that’ll tap into the “global luxury tourist market,” Getaway reports.
The worlds’ first-ever elevated train hotel will be called the Kruger Shalati Train on a Bridge – the name is in honour of the history of Chief Warrior Shalati who once lived near the river in the region of Skukuza and ruled over the Tebula tribe.

The Kruger Shalati Train hotel will offer guests an unforgettable experience with rates including luxury accommodation, all meals during a guest stay, house beverages and two game drives per day. The large rooms will have floor-to-ceiling windows offering uncompromised views of the Kruger Park and the Sabie River.
The old blockhouse next to the bridge will be transformed into a unique pool deck designed with an infinity pool just metres above the flowing river.
The much-anticipated Kruger Shalati Train hotel is set to open in December 2019, for now, take a peek a what’s in store below.
