She awakens… The sunrise paints the sky in hues of gold and orange. “Good morning,” she whispers.
Mother Nature is ready to show off again, as you draw the curtains in your train carriage room and welcome the morning.
Motherhood comes in many beautiful forms – each deserving of celebration, admiration, and gratitude. This Mother’s Day, treat the maternal figure in your life with a stay by us, where thoughtfully crafted experiences await every type of mom.



For the Nature-Loving Mom, mornings at Shalati begin peacefully. She awakens to breathtaking bush views, greeted by Africa’s vibrant chorus. From the pool deck, she has a bird’s-eye-view of the day-to-day lives of the wildlife below. Elephants gracefully ambling beneath the bridge or birds soaring through golden skies. Lazy crocs sunning themselves on rocks as the Sabie River flows. Nature surrounds her. She can put her feet up and soak it all in.



The Luxury-Seeking Mom will delight in refined relaxation. Our elegant carriage suites promise serene comfort and sophisticated charm. She indulges in a rejuvenating massage on our Northern Deck (or in the comfort of her room) and at night enjoys an exquisite dining experience beneath a canopy of stars. The boutique store is filled with an array of beautiful pieces for her to peruse. Wool throws from Romaria or artisanal beaded jewellery, celebrating the fine craftsmanship of local artists. Every moment with us is curated to lavish her with luxury.



For the Adventure-Loving Mom, every day promises to be filled with thrills and extraordinary wildlife sightings – courtesy of our engaging and experienced Game Guides. Staying atop the iconic, historic bridge, she explores the wild heart of Kruger by day, immersing herself in nature’s wonders. By night, the magic of the African bush under a starlit sky creates unforgettable memories. With our exclusive ‘Night Drives’ fast becoming a guest favourite she gets to explore the elusive creatures and critters that prefer the nighttime to the day. A truly extraordinary treat for those wanting to ensure they maximise their game viewing experience.
Allow us and Mother Nature to treat your mom like the true queen she is.
