CNN —South Africa is home to some of the most luxurious, nostalgic train journeys on offer anywhere in the world.
But for certain enthusiasts, a train going nowhere is the country’s star attraction.
Kruger Shalati: The Train on the Bridge is a hotel in Skukuza in Kruger National Park, one of Africa’s largest game reserves and part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
“The culture of steam trains and the culture of historical trains I think is beginning to re-emerge,” says Mabena.
“We don’t have a moving steam train, but one day, I think we will.”
