We go on safari often but at Selati we saw things we never have - a lion kill and two different pairs of mating leopards. What an experience and that goes to our amazing ranger, Craig and his tracker Kenny. They went out of there way to ensure we had a fantastic sightings. The accommodation at Selati is kind of... More

Selati camp was absolutely amazing! Because its small and intimate, its not for the "nightlife minded" , at least not the night life you're used to! Now the real wildlife, there is alot going on every night and through the day. We saw the big 5 within a day, thanks to our ranger Mike and his tracker Doc. We also... More

We were so lucky to have Craig as our Ranger and Zeb as our tracker. Exciting game drives every time and we eagerly await our next visit. One of the best holidays we have... More

As Sabi Sabi had been recommended to me by my South African friends, I had very high expectations for my recent trip. I can honestly say that it was everything and more than I could have hoped for. Our ranger Martin and tracker Mike were amazing and went out of their way to make the whole safari experience as magical... More

Driving from Jburg you think where am I going, am I lost or what is wrong with the signs.... but all at once you are at the lodge. Great accomodation, good restaurant, perfect gamedrives (expect for the missing lions) but we saw the leopard a couple of times. The only thing which can be improved is the shampoo and conditioner...

Splurge for this Camp and Safari experience. I received an excellent personal referral myself and booked at this resort. Flat down best Safari experience in all of South Africa. Well worth the money. Loved our Guide "Kevin". Food excellent. Top drawer experience.

Our family of 4 stayed in Rooms 3 and 4 for 2 nights at Selati Camp and then we moved to Bush Lodge for another 2 nights. I loved Selati Camp! Both of our rooms had showers and bath tubs. Room 4 had a small terrace overlooking the open space. One day we had Baboons walking around the lodge area.... More

We just spent 3 incredible days at Selati! Completely exceeded our expectations! We saw 2 of the Big 5 immediately even before checking in. The staff was wonderful! Especially lived our guide Doriano & tracker Zeb! Very personable & knowledgeable. The food was delicious. Very tranquil. Would definitely return!
