South Africa, the southernmost tip of the African continent has always been a prime destination for travelers and nature lovers. The Tourism Industry of South Africa often comes up with jaw-dropping activities and Infrastructure for the Tourism Industry. One such amusement recently unveiled in its Kruger National Park.

The new addition in Kruger National Park is a new unusual hotel named Kruger Shalati. It is a train on the bridge that sits permanently on the Selati Bridge just above the Sabie River has been now converted into a luxurious hotel. The hotel on its website explained that it is a re-envisioned accommodation, which will “pay homage to the guests who explored the park nearly 100 years ago while welcoming new explorers from near and far.”

It further stated that the train station is meant to celebrate as a spot where the first visitors visited the iconic park in the early 1920s. During that time, the train would remain parked overnight in the exact spot where Kruger Shalati has now been positioned.

Referring to this development, a representative of the hotel project stated that this project’s inspiration has been derived from the historical bridge. He added that in the 1920s as the national park was declared, it was the only way through which one could visit this place, i.e., by train. Further, the train would then remain stationed overnight on this same bridge as part of the rail journey, he added. It was also one of the most popular legs of the nine-day route that used to run on this line.

There will be 31 rooms, 24 carriage rooms, and 7 bridge house rooms, each of which will feature luxurious furnishings, soaking tubs, and floor-to-ceiling windows, so that one can witness the watch of the sun going down or spend the entire day in leisure.

You will likely be able to book rooms by the end of 2020.
