Best of Sabi Sabi Safari Reserve Attractions & Luxury Tours, South Africa

Selati Camp

Selati is one of the finest camps in all of South Africa, winning numerous travel awards. The most recent awards were in 2010 by Travel & Leisure for the “Best in the World” – voted 3rd best in the world and 2nd best in Africa, and for the “World’s Best Service Awards” – voted 4th best in the world and 2nd best in Africa.

The camp is comprised of eight thatched roof suites which contain their own private bathroom with shower. First class culinary delights are prepared and served either in the traditional open-air boma by the riverbed, or in the resident dining area.

The charming and elegant Lourenco Marques Suite is designed for honeymoon lovers wanting to share a romantic South Africa vacation. Here candles illuminate the premises and a mild fragrance wafts from fresh flower petals strewn across the bed linens. Definitely a memorable experience!

Luxury connoisseurs favor the Ivory Presidential Suite which is quite spacious and decorated in true colonial style with real antiques, a large, linen-draped bed, Persian rugs and a private pool. The Suite also contains a fireplace and terrace for added romantic luxury.

Strike out each day for morning and evening safaris and game drives which put you in extraordinary vantage points for witnessing African wildlife feeding, mating, birthing and hunting. Skilled and knowledgeable Rangers can also lead you on walking safaris and, because the animals are acclimated to humans, they can get you very close to some of the most massive and exotic beasts on Earth.

When you return from your exhilarating South Africa safari, soak in Selati’s lodge pool while sipping on a cool drink from the bar. When the sun sets, chat with other guests in the gorgeous lounge surrounded by the soft glow of lanterns. Then fall softly asleep while listening to the sounds of the African bush.
