Badplaas Vacation Packages

A pleasant and convenient sleepover only 3km from Phaneni Gate.

We had the most extraordinary stay at Shalati, every part of it exceeded our expectations and made it an excellent end to our 2 week holiday in South Africa. The pictures don’t do justice for the beautiful rooms with stunning views. We were in carriage 1 and had 2 resident buffalo below the room we could watch throughout the day along with several hippos on both sides of the river. Watching animals whilst in the bath and in the stunning pool was amazing. The staff are incredible, so friendly and helpful and always there when you need something. The food was some of the best we’ve ever eaten with beautifully crafted menus and if you’re fortunate enough to be there on a Braai night (Wednesday or Sunday at the moment) then that is a completely different and unique experience too. Conveniently located near to Skukuza airport however flying back we used Nelspruit which was only 2 hours away and Shalati arranged a transfer for us. Over all we would 100% recommend Shalati and hope to be in the position to go back again.

Incredible once in a lifetime experience. Hotel was impeccable. Staff was fabulous. Safari drives amazing. I’ll be back!

The personnels are really lovely and very helpful. It was a lovely stay. We felt like we had a glamorous camping in the jungle with the sound of the creek flowing which is very calming. Will definitely recommend this hotel.
