Sleep suspended above Kruger’s wild heart

South Africa

At Kruger Shalati – The Train on the Bridge, luxury and wilderness meet in spectacular style.

This reimagined vintage train is permanently stationed high above the Sabie River in South Africa’s Kruger National Park, offering rooms with glass walls that overlook one of the continent’s most wildlife-rich landscapes.

From the comfort of your bed, watch elephants and hippos wander below, or sip sundowners on the open-air deck as the sky blushes pink.

With fine dining, elegant design and the thrill of the wild all around, it’s one of the world’s most unforgettable sleepovers.

Antony Boomer

House of Travel Dunedin

I have been in the travel industry since 1987 as a tour leader, travel advisor, traveler visiting the globe, and now Owner Operator of House of Travel Dunedin City.

My travels have encompassed 105 countries initially using all forms of transport from a double decker bus around Europe to rickshaws in Asia to horses in the Middle East and dugout canoes in Central Africa with camels, elephants, donkeys and bicycles in-between.

I am more than willing to travel in a lot more comfort these days visiting the Pacific, Myanmar, India, Vietnam, Ireland, China, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Thailand, Japan, USA, Cayman Islands, Zimbabwe, Turkiye and Malta in recent years.

I believe the transition is similar for people of my generation who still yearn to visit anywhere and everywhere but enjoy a bit, or a lot, more luxury. As such I have developed an in-depth knowledge of the whole spectrum of travel options and regularly come up with solutions to the most complex of travel plans.

Nice to meet you! I love traveling with my husband, whether it's hiking the Camino de Santiago, biking through Latvia, or relaxing on beach holidays in places like Greece and Fiji. Recent highlights include cruising Norway and exploring Puglia, Italy—though I’m always guilty of overpacking!
