Hotel train to be built on abandoned railway bridge in Kruger African reserve

The windows of the rooms will overlook the reserve, where you can see crocodiles, elephants, buffaloes and hippos. In addition, an open terrace with a pool literally hanging over the river will be built on the bridge.

The Selati Bridge, on which the hotel was built, back in 1912. It served as part of the railway line of the same name. It is currently not used. Although the hotel is really a train, it cannot move.

Protests erupted last week when 79-year-old former South African President Jacob Zuma surrendered to the authorities.

South Africa's former president, Zuma, has surrendered to authorities to serve 15 months in prison for contempt of court. He declined to appear at a meeting of the anti-corruption commission to counter several allegations, including bribery and fraud, which he has repeatedly denied.
