An excellent stay from start to finish. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout. Our safari guide Joe was outstanding - deeply knowledgeable about the wildlife and truly passionate about it. He took his time with us and we learned so much. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the food was delicious. We couldn’t have asked for more. Highly recommended!

Highly recommend! First, the views from the train are incredible. Second, the food is very very good and you will definitely gain some weight. 3 meals a day that are all to die for. Wednesday and Saturday dinners are very special and highly recommend. Last, the safaris are at 4:30am and 4:30pm. The drives are fun and have great wildlife viewing. Can see the big five in 3 days or less. We stayed for 7 days and it was amazing!!! Very relaxing and they treat you like royalty

The staff, the kitchen, the cuisine. the novelty of the train on the Bridge pales in comparison to the service, the atmosphere, and the attention to detail that this uber safari lodge offers. While not inexpensive I can't imagine having a more elevated experience at other lodges costing double and triple what shalati charges. I was blown away ..
