An outstanding experience awaits any traveler choosing to stay at Kruger Shalati.

All you can imagine - and more!

We decided to go to ToB based on the "Reluctant Traveller" show, and we expected it to be fun and worth staying there. We were pleasantly surprised with how much better everything was than we even imagined it would be. Big Sam, the entire staff, and Lisa (our guide/driver) were all so friendly and helpful. It was a great trip and someplace we highly recommend!

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.

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!

My whole experience at Kruger Shalati was SO amazing!!! The views, the food, and the amenities are so great but what makes it even more amazing is the PEOPLE!! The people who work here were so thoughtful and helpful and considerate. If I could give them 10 stars I would! Must go!!

Incredible

From pick up at the airport through to check out we could not fault one moment! We had an incredible time. The staff were so knowledgeable and friendly, genuinely caring and went above and beyond to ensure you felt looked after. Our dining hosts Mzwandile and Angel were a delight and our Safari guide Mikhenso was extremely knowledgeable, accommodating and has an eagle eye in the bush! We were lucky to see 3 leopard sightings in 3 days and tick off 4 of the big 5. We would absolutely recommend Kruger Shalati and will be returning.

Almost Perfect

I loved the resort and the trip. The only thing was that moderately priced alcohal was not included in the all inclusive. Also, cocktails were extra. This left a bad taste since the stay. Premium alcohal okay. Bombay Gin...really?

One of our best trips ever. Staff is beyond accommodating. Went with a group of 5. Each morning and afternoon game drives are scheduled. Shout out to our guide Nelly!! He's beyond knowledgeable and knows all the patterns of the 'big 5'. He will also stop and explain fun facts about the animals, their patterns, etc. Most certainly the highlight of our trip. The property is beautiful and we saw elephants, hippos, giraffes, and crocs from our train. Service is top notch. The team remembers your preferences and the food was simply amazing. Can't say enough good things about this resort.

Unique accommodation. A must stay! Staff are extremely welcoming and accommodating. Everything about Kruger Shalati is special. I went on every safari ride, which was so special, so it meant I didn't get to take in all that Shalati had to offer - lounges and pools. So, take a safari ride off and enjoy more of everything Shalati has to offer. The food is 5-star.

Beautiful, we drove in and drove out, which was a great experience. make sure you book the right airport and you won’t have to drive your own car although we loved driving around ourselves in addition to the wonderful game drives. The staff and the Safari drivers were the best. The garden rooms were lovely and we saw many animals and baby hippo, newly born from the view on the train track
Take warm clothes the Safari rides are early in the morning and late at night for more animal viewing
