"Set permanently on a bridge overlooking a flowing river, this locomotive-styled property recreates the feel of vintage sleeper trains with 31 earth-toned, glass-walled rooms that offer panoramic views of elephants, leopards, buffalo and other wildlife. Guests can take game drives, enjoy South African–inspired cuisine, unwind with in-room facials or clawfoot-tub soaks, and relax by a circular pool that appears suspended above the wildlife-filled terrain; the concept echoes the rail pauses that historically occurred on the nearby bridge in the 1920s." - Nora Zelevansky
