Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve

Selati Camp

Imagine the Africa of the great safari era, when blazing sunsets melted into lantern lit romance and service was an effortless whisper. This is the Africa you will experience at award winning Selati Camp. This intimate all-suite camp has been created as an authentic home in the busy, with an historic railway theme which extends from original steam engine name plates, signals and shunter’s lamps lighting the way to your suite, to interesting memorabilia and other collector’s pieces in each suite.

With its classic vintage styling, each of the seven opulent thatched suites have a full bathroom en-suite and private alfresco shower nestled under majestic indigenous trees. World-class cuisine is served on wooden thatched decks built alongside the Msuthlu riverbed, in the open air “boma” or in the “farmhouse kitchen”.

The premier accommodation at Selati is the sumptuous Ivory Presidential Suite, furnished with antiques, a draped four-poster bed looking out onto your private terrace and a private plunge pool. The magnificent en-suite bathroom, complete with Persian carpet and antique chaise-lounge, also features a quiet space surrounded by the sounds of the bushveld. The separate dressing room features an antique wardrobe and matching dressing table.

The Lourenco Marques Suite is a must for honeymooners or the romantic at heart. Whether it is the fragrant flower petals strewn on the exquisite bedlinen, or the candles illuminating the bathroom on return from the evening safari, a stay in this romantic suite will always be remembered.

Bush Lodge

Deep in the bushveld overlooking a waterhole and an open plain, is Bush Lodge, steeped in tradition, vibrant and warm. Bush Lodge has been sensitively designed to allow ample space to relax and savour the tranquility of the bush. The two swimming pools and large covered viewing decks overhanging the Msuthlu riverbed are an invitation to cool off or sit in comfort while spotting game at the well-utilised pan. An exquisitely furnished lounge, atrium and intimate bar area are perfect meeting places for friends old and new. As an extra indulgence, try out the Amani Spa.

The lodge has 25 suites, each featuring en-suite bathrooms and al-fresco, glass-fronted showers, with wonderful views of the bushveld. Two spacious Luxury Villas feature a master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, second en-suite bedroom, a private pool, library/lounge and beautiful patio facing a waterhole. The suites are air-conditioned and feature sumptuous linen and classic leather and wood furnishings. The Mandleve Deluxe Suite features a private plunge pool and luxurious interiors with endless views of the bushveld.

The lodge is family friendly and children of all ages can enjoy the EleFun Centre, a fully-fledged children’s facility. Interesting environmentally themed activities, including hands-on ‘edutainment’ for several distinct age groups, are designed and supervised by qualified childcare professionals.

Little Bush Camp

Nestling in the shade of indigenous riverine trees on the banks of the Msuthlu river lies Little Bush Camp, offering luxury accommodation for family, friends, or small groups. Exuding warmth and effortless hospitality, Little Bush Camp offers unparalleled intimacy and seclusion. Six Luxury Suites, each with a private viewing deck and heated spa bath overlooking the riverbed, are decorated in contemporary African design, complete with luxury furnishings, full bathroom en-suite, indoor and outdoor showers and air-conditioning. Thatched roofs, romantic mosquito nets draped over the comfortable beds and beautiful wooden finishes complete the picture of an exclusive safari getaway. Delicious dinners eaten outside under gently lit trees are a wonderful experience loved by all.
