Location:
 |
Set in the Sabi Sands Game
Reserve adjacent to the the Kruger National Park, Sabi Sabi Game
Reserve is ecologically and geographically linked to the world famous
Kruger National Park.
Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve comprises of the
most desirable tracts of unfenced big game country in the exclusive
proclaimed Sabi Sabi Game Reserve, within the Southern section of the
Kruger National Park.
Consistent unsurpassed game viewing has earned
Sabi Sabi worldwide acclaim and recognition. |
|
|
The reserve is blessed
with a great diversity of habitat and wildlife giving you an excellent
chance of experiencing close encounters with the ‘Big 5’ - elephant,
rhino, buffalo, lion and leopard as well as wild dog, cheetah, zebra,
giraffe and all species indigenous to the area, in their natural
unfenced environment.
With over 350 bird species, Sabi Sabi is a bird
watchers paradise. |
 |
Sabi Sabi’s philosophy is based
on two principles:-
 |
The first is the
need to conserve our rapidly dwindling wilderness areas and to provide
a sanctuary for fauna and flora as part of our heritage.
The second is the
belief that the only way a wildlife sanctuary can survive the
onslaught of socio-economic pressures is by employing labor, earning
foreign currency, paying tax and promoting sustainable tourism.
Failure to do so would inevitably make it ‘available land’ for
agriculture or commercial development.Linking eco-tourism,
conservation and community!

Selati Lodge:
 |
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 Sabi
Sabi, an award winning luxury game lodge in South Africa.
During the 1870's, high in the crevices of the Drakensberg
escarpment which rises to the west of Sabi Sabi, gold was
discovered. To transport the gold, the parliament of the Old
Transvaal Republic commissioned a railway line from the interior to
Delagoa Bay in Mozambique. A branch railway, known as the Selati
Line, crossed the Sabi Sand Wildtuin.
Today the line is disused but the old railbed can still be seen in
the north-eastern section of Sabi Sabi, close to Selati Camp, the
perfect accommodation for travellers looking for a luxury game lodge
in South Africa. Sabi Sabi's intimate all-suite Selati Camp,
furnished with a historic Railway theme and 19th century charm,
meticulously created as an authentic home in the bush, is the most
unforgettable of all African experiences. 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. |
 |
Originally created without electricity to preserve
the ambience, Selati Camp now has overhead fans, air-conditioning
and all the trimmings expected from a luxury game lodge. The camp is
still lit at night by the gentle flicker of oil lamps, the warm glow
of fires and the spectacular canopy of the Southern night sky.
This exclusive South African lodge comprises eight opulent 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 premier accommodation
Selati Camp is the sumptuous and spacious Ivory Presidential Suite,
which is a favourite amongst honeymooners. 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
safaris. The separate dressing room features an antique wardrobe and
dressing table.
Sabi Sabi’s Selati Camp combines turn of the century elegance with
personalised safari luxury - a rare quality of life experience. |
