The expansive glass walls of the train rooms afford endless vistas along the Sabie River, while the train’s design is a celebration of African craftsmanship and style, incorporating local artistry into every detail. Perched high above the riverbanks, our bespoke deck with a pool invites guests to an aquatic experience like no other, with crocodiles, hippos, buffalos, and elephants making occasional appearances just meters below—a spectacle beyond compare!
While our avant-garde design captivates the senses, our focus remains on the human experience, honoring cultural nuances, the dedicated individuals behind every element, and above all, extending warmth and hospitality to each guest.
