Sabi Sabi Selati Lodge is set in the Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve bordering the Kruger National Park. Built along the original route of the long-abandoned Selati railway line, this small, intimate camp offers an authentic African safari in a famous Big 5 region. At night, Selati Lodge is illuminated by oil lamps which, combined with the vintage décor and early 20th-century train memorabilia, create a romantic, old-world atmosphere.

The game viewing in the Sabi Sands is world-class, and with the help of your local tracker and experienced ranger, you have an excellent chance of seeing all the Big 5 plus rare predators such as cheetahs and wild dogs. Morning and late afternoon game drives take advantage of the times when animals are most active, and you will return to camp after sunset drinks via a spotlit drive in search of Africa's fascinating nocturnal creatures.

Rooms

Luxury Suite

Selati Camp is one of the smallest camps in the Sabi Sabi Game Reserve and is made up of only seven luxury thatched suites, each with en suite bathrooms and a private alfresco shower and outdoor bathtub. The beds are draped with romantic mosquito netting and at night the suites are lit with flickering oil lamps (although you can also switch the electric lights on if they are needed) while the verandas allow you to survey your corner of Africa in private.

Ivory Presidential Suite

The Presidential Ivory Suite is the choice of royalty and heads of state when they visit. This spacious suite is decorated in colonial style and features original antiques, a net-draped 4-poster bed, a private terrace, a fireplace, and a private plunge pool. The large en suite bathroom is particularly decadent. Those staying in the Presidential Ivory Suite also have exclusive use of a game-viewing vehicle and dedicated game ranger.

Lourenco Marques Honeymoon Suite

Honeymooners staying in the Lourenco Marques Suite can expect a particularly romantic stay with every detail carefully considered. This special suite has a large, king-size bed and beautiful antique pieces and also features a large outdoor bathtub for bathing under African skies in complete privacy and is ideal for special occasions: expect to find flower petals and candles in your room upon your return from a night drive!

Facilities

This charming safari lodge provides ample thatched lounge areas that extend out onto open and shaded decks arranged around a peaceful garden and the large lodge swimming pool.

Find a quiet spot with your book or binoculars and watch birds in the garden and animals passing the lodge.

Dining

For your first meal of the day, the chefs at Selati Camp prepare a typical South African breakfast which includes freshly baked breads, jams, and preserves from the region. Lunch and dinner also comprise excellent cuisine, and meals are served on the decks built over the riverbed, around the roaring fire in the open-air boma, or in the charming farmhouse kitchen.
