Sabi Sabi Selati Camp

    There’s something quietly spellbinding about Sabi Sabi Selati Camp. Perhaps it’s the way vintage railway memorabilia sits shoulder to shoulder with glowing lanterns and handwoven linens, or how evenings unfold beside the fire, stories crackling as loudly as the flames.

    Intimate and unapologetically romantic, the lodge’s seven suites channel the grandeur of bygone safaris while cocooning you in contemporary comfort. Out on the plains, elephants shuffle through golden grass, and leopard tracks trace the riverbank. Every element, from copper bathtubs to candlelit dinners, honours a slower, more considered rhythm of travel. This is safari with soul.

        Old world
        Styling

        Antique typewriters, flickering oil lamps, and the scent of aged leather conjure the romance of 19th-century railway journeys – each suite a love letter to a time when travel was equal parts glamour and grit.

        Exceptional accommodation

        Each of Selati’s seven suites feels like a tucked-away chapter from an old explorer’s journal. Think pressed linens, freestanding tubs, and outdoor showers framed by tangled bush. Here, old-world elegance meets barefoot luxury, all softened by Sabi’s gentle hush.

        Luxury Suite

        Mosquito nets float like gauze around a king-size bed, while vintage chests and sepia-toned photographs whisper stories of golden-age exploration. Outside, a shower open to the sky invites a little drama into your daily ritual.

        Lourenço Marques Honeymoon Suite

        A suite built for quiet seclusion and whispered toasts. Flower petals trail to an outdoor bath, where flickering candlelight plays against copper surfaces. The kind of setting where time lingers and mornings stretch long into afternoons.

        Ivory Presidential Suite

        The safari dream, dialled up. A private plunge pool shimmers in the heat, the dressing room stocks crisp robes, and a dedicated game vehicle sits at the ready. Inside, plush textures and antiques create an air of effortless opulence.

        Delicious dining

        Forget fixed menus and predictable settings. One night it’s a candlelit table in the boma, another it’s grilled kudu beneath the stars. Whether it’s fire-cooked feasts or solitary breakfasts on your deck, dining here feels like a celebration of the moment.

        All-Inclusive Dining

        meals, creatively crafted from fresh, local ingredients, are served in an elegant dining room or beneath starlit skies at the boma. The ambient setting, combined with expert service, ensures a dining experience that complements the richness of your surroundings.

        A world of experiences

        Between game drives, the camp slips into quiet reverie. There’s time to drift by the pool, linger in the shade with a book, or leaf through handmade treasures. Here, the hours breathe slower and unfold into the rhythm of the wild.

        Head for the bushveld

        Open 4x4s roll through Sabi Sabi’s untamed landscapes, where lion prides stalk the grasslands and elephants emerge from thickets. Expert trackers read the earth like a book, transforming every game drive into a raw, thrilling story of the wild.

        Dine under starlight

        As dusk spills across the bushveld, lanterns flicker to life and the aroma of fire-grilled fare drifts through the air. Boma dining at Selati is pure magic – barefoot elegance beneath constellations, where stories are shared and silence speaks volumes.

        A walk to remember

        Trading wheels for walking boots, this guided bushwalk strips safari back to its essence. Footsteps fall softer. Eyes sharpen. Each leaf and spoor becomes a clue, a whisper from the wild, revealing stories that vehicles are far too loud to hear.

        Sabi Sabi Selati Camp is located within the Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve, which shares an unfenced border with South Africa’s Kruger National Park, allowing wildlife to roam freely between the two. The lodge is accessed via road or light aircraft from Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport, around two hours away. Known for exceptional game viewing, including regular sightings of the Big Five, this area offers a blend of rich biodiversity, seasoned guides, and comfortable proximity to key regional travel hubs.
