Hotel built on an old bridge over the river (16 photos)

And elephants, rhinoceroses, lions and other animals walk under the bridge.





We continue to talk about the most unusual hotels on the planet (for example, here we have cool photos of a real underwater hotel), and today we invite you on a virtual trip to Kruger Shalati. This hotel is completely unique. Firstly, it is located in the Kruger National Park, secondly, it was opened on an old railway bridge, and thirdly, it is located in real carriages!

It was no coincidence that such an amazing place was chosen for Kruger Shalati



This is a reference to the first travels to Africa a hundred years ago.





Back then, tourists got to the reserve by train, and stopped at night right on this bridge



The bridge lies over the Sabie River, where animals come to drink



Here you can see elephants, lions, leopards, rhinoceroses, buffaloes



So modern travelers repeat the experience of the first safari



Only with much more comfort



Don't let the train hotel fool you, it's luxurious inside



These are 31 luxury rooms, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the reserve.



They are designed in an Art Deco style and are reminiscent of the 1920s railway safari.



But made in a modern interpretation



There's even a swimming pool, so you can watch the valley from the water



Wild animals roam right under the bridge



They come to the river to drink water and swim



This is an absolutely incredible experience
