The hotel offers the most unique luxury accommodation in a re-envisioned train that has 31 rooms, consisting of 24 carriage rooms and 7 Bridge House rooms. Each designed with glass-walls to invite infinite views of the Sabie river and surrounding Kruger national park in all it’s beauty.
Historical drives here affords guests the rare opportunity to learn about the origins of the Kruger National Park; a journey of discovery into how the land became a space where the public could enjoy the wonders of the African bush.
It was a privilege to explore the unique accommodation and experience the 360-degree views with the beauty queens who share how empowering and life-changing their Miss South Africa experience has been.
Thato Mosehle (25) is a medical doctor and currently completing her internship at the Klerksdorp-Tshepong Hospital complex. Her goal is to become an anesthesiologist.
“This pageant has been the best journey of my life. I’ve grown in so many ways. I’m now doing things I never thought I would do. My schedule is unique day to day. I just feel so blessed to be part of this journey that constantly grows you day by day,” comments Thato Mosehle.
Shudufhadzo Musida (24) is from Limpopo and has a Bachelor of Social Sciences in Philosophy, Politics and Economics from the University of Pretoria and is currently doing her BA Honours in International Relations at the University of Witwatersrand.
“I was a girl before. A very insecure girl before and then this competiton made me step into my power. Where I find myself being fearless, being daring, and learning to enjoy life. I feel like my biggest mandate now is to be happy so I surround myself with people like that. The competition taught me that, it taught me that as a person I’m enough and whatever I bring into my space is just an extension of me. So I feel like I’ve grown so much as this journey has been the best journey of my life,” shares Miss South Africa 2020.
