Sleep suspended above Kruger’s wild heart

South Africa

Sunway South Africa Kruger lion Rob Lewis

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.

Turn your travel dreams into a reality, and start planning a trip to South Africa. Explore our latest holiday deals here, or speak to your local House of Travel friendly travel expert today and get ready to experience the perfect blend of luxury and wilderness.

I have been in and out of the industry since the 80's I have lived in Australia, Canada, Italy and of course NZ.

I have travelled to some great places but there is still a huge number of countries on my wish list.

There is nothing better than being able to help someone when they are going to a new place...recommend a hotel, restaurant or activity and then have them return to say how much they enjoyed it all.

With a tapestry of travel experiences across Europe and beyond, I bring knowledge and passion to my role as a Travel Consultant.

Ocean cruising and river cruising provides travellers with the opportunity to explore the world.

Solo traveller or group ? Whether you are a solo traveller, looking to connect with others, or friends and family wanting to explore together, group travel offers a unique and rewarding way to see the world.

Travel philosophy: I believe that travel is not just about visiting new places, but about immersing oneself in the local culture and cuisine to truly understand and appreciate the essence of a destination.

I am dedicated to providing exceptional service and creating memorable travel experiences for my clients.

Customer service has always been drilled into me. After begging my way into a cafe job at 14, I then spent 12 years working in the hospitality industry supervising restaurants and managing specialty cafes which also founded my love for all different types of foods.

After spending 3 years in Melbourne, 6 months in South East Asia and a few years in the UK I finally made the switch to the travel industry where I have been able to share my love for travel and customer service ever since.

I made it through the dark years of COVID in the industry which has led me to know to dig that little bit deeper into my clients' travel plans to create that perfect trip, and ensure we really have the best option for you in terms of comfort, reliability, and service. As we just don't know what is round the corner, do we!

I've travelled extensively across Southeast Asia, UK and Europe, spent a lot of time exploring properties in Fiji (and relaxing by the beach), road tripped in California and in 2024 I visited South Africa in Feb, Japan, South Korea and Taipei! I've got many more places on my bucket list to visit, but if I haven't been, I've got a superb team of people behind me who have and we'll work out the best trip for you! My ultimate passion when I travel is trying local foods, and finding the best possible places to have that authentic experience that we wouldn't be able to have at home. So if that resonates with you, I'd love to hear from you and let's put together your foodie adventure, together :)
