Camp Overview
This exquisite jewel of the bushveld offers a special romance, a sense of history and is an ideal refuge for the nature lover. Nestling under the majestic Acacia trees that line the Msuthlu river bed, Selati Lodge lies on an animal migration path which sees wild game traverse to and from the Kruger National Park and the Sabi Sand Reserve. Time passes slowly in this small and private place, interrupted only by the sounds of the bush, the heart-stopping call of the fish eagle, the cough of a leopard and the full throated roar of a lion.
The 8 luxury thatched suites, each with full bathroom en-suite and private alfresco shower, blend perfectly into the surrounding bush. Home-cooked cuisine is served on decks built over the river-bed, in the open air “boma” or in the “farmhouse kitchen”. The railway theme extends from original steam engine name plates, signals and other memorabilia in the lounge, to collector’s pieces in each room and shunter’s lamps lighting the way to your suite.
Selati Camp’s premier accommodation is the sumptuous and spacious Ivory Presidential Suite. It offers turn of the 19th century colonial grandeur in the form of original antiques, a draped four-poster bed, private terrace, and fireplace. The magnificent en-suite bathroom, complete with Persian carpet and antique chaise-longue, also features a very private pool and private safaris. The separate dressing room features an antique wardrobe and dressing table. Selati combines turn of the century elegance with personalized safari luxury – a rare quality of life experience.
Activities and Wildlife
Selate Camp offers both day and night safaris in an open Land Rover as well as walking safaris, allowing guests the opportunity to seek out the amazing array of wildlife within the Kruger Park and Sabi Sand Reserve.
