Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve

Sabi Sabi’s intimate all-suite Selati Camp is an unforgettable African experience, ideally suited to travellers looking for a romantic luxury safari lodge in South Africa. Selati is furnished with a historic railway theme, influenced by the Selati Line, a railway line that crossed the Sabi Sand Reserve. The line was commissioned by the parliament of the Old Transvaal Republic to transport gold from the Drakensberg escarpment, which rises to the west of Sabi Sabi, to Delagoa Bay in Mozambique. 

Just seven thatched suites, Selati Camp is meticulously created as an authentic home in the bush with vintage styling, al fresco showers nestled under majestic indigenous trees and world class cuisine. 

With the reputation of a “luxury home in the bush”, service is excellent and the personal attention is effortless. Each of the twenty-five suites feature an en-suite bathrooms and al-fresco, glass-fronted showers, with wonderful views of the bushveld. Designed with a vibrant and eclectic mix of furnishings and décor garnered from all corners of the African continent, Bush Lodge has been sensitively designed to allow ample space to relax, unwind and savour the tranquility of the bush.

The lodge is family friendly and children of all ages can enjoy the EleFun Centre, a fully-fledged children’s facility.

For those seeking a more intimate experience, or wishing to have an exclusive Lodge experience, Little Bush Camp offers luxury accommodation for family, friends, or small groups. Nestled in the shade of indigenous riverine trees, on the banks of the Msuthlu river, lies Little Bush Camp, the newest addition to the Sabi Sabi collection. Each of the six luxury suites has a private viewing deck with a heated spa bath overlooking the riverbed, and are decorated in contemporary African design throughout. 

Recently renovated in 2019, Sabi Sabi Earth Lodge is home to 13 ultra-luxurious suites, including the Amber Presidential Suite. Described as the most environmentally sensitive lodge in Africa, the lodge is sculpted into a slope of the earth, almost invisible in the landscape. The suites showcase individually designed furniture, private plunge pool, en-suite glass fronted bathroom and indoor and outdoor shower. 

The dining experiences are spectacular. Choose from indoor and outdoor dining areas; overlooking a waterhole and unending bushveld, a secluded library, art gallery, meditation garden or an underground wine cellar with a collection of over 6000 bottles of rare wines. Plus, the outdoor boma, its walls sculpted from tree roots and piled up piece by piece, captures the drama of the African night and evokes the power of the wilderness.

Depart on morning and evening game drives into the wilderness to encounter Africa's beautiful wild creatures. As you return, escape to the Amani Spa at Earth Lodge and indulge in holistic body, skin and beauty rituals, treatments and massages.
