Sabi Sabi Selati Lodge, Sabi Sand
Sabi Selati Camp reflects the time of the great safari explorers such as Hemingway and Livingstone at the turn of the 19th century. Selati camp is situated near the historic railway line, built during the Gold Rush, after which it is named. Illuminated solely by oil lamps, Sabi Selati Camp, caters specifically for the more romantic traveler. The lodge is small and charming, with an authentic safari feel
With no electricity to spoil the mood, Sabi Selati Camp is lit at night by the flicker of paraffin lamps, the warm glow of fires and the spectacular canopy of the southern night sky! The eight quaint cottages at Sabi Sabi Selati are built of stone and thatch and perfectly positioned around a rolling garden. Each room has its own relaxing lounge area, an outside shower and although the rooms are simple, they are homely and in keeping with the rest of the lodge.
The sumptuous and spacious Ivory Suite offers turn of the 19th century colonial grandeur in the form of original antiques, a draped four-poster bed, private terrace, and cosy fireplace.
The magnificent en-suite bathroom, complete with Persian carpets and antique chaise-lounge features a private pool and best of all, you get a private ranger for the duration of your stay!
The lounge and bar area, beautifully decorated with old railway memorabilia, serves as a perfect spot to relax after your evening game drive.
The morning safari starts with a knock on your door from the friendly ranger who will wake you before first light and while the kitchen brews hot coffee or tea, expect to be delighted with cool fruit juices, a muffin, rusk and other freshly made delicacies.
On your evening safaris, with the help of a spotlight, a leopard's eyes may reflect back from a nearby tree. Other smaller predators that are often encountered at night include the genet, African civet and African wild cat. Bushbabies are nocturnal primates that feed on insects and fruits and their large eyes shine red in the spotlight!
