Sabi Sabi Selati Lodge

Sabi Sabi Selati Lodge Information


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 Game Reserve. 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. 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 and air-conditioning, while 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. The eight luxury 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". Selati Camp premier accommodation is the sumptuous and spacious Ivory Presidential Suite. 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 consists of 3 luxurious, air-conditioned lodges. Experience the different atmospheres of yesterday, at the turn-of-the-century, lantern lit, magical Selati Camp , today, at the contemporary Bush Lodge and tomorrow, at the internationally-acclaimed Earth Lodge.

Sabi Sabi Selati Camp : History


The name Sabi Sabi is derived from the word 'tsave', meaning 'fear' or 'danger' in the Tsonga dialect. This stems from the large numbers of dangerous crocodile and hippo in the Sabie River.  European hunters first established a camp on the south bank of the Sabie River in 1830. Hunting for game, ivory and rhino-horn continued until the end of the century. In 1979, the present Sabi Sabi company was formed.

During the 1980's and 1990's, the owners purchased three portions of the farm, 'Shaws', on which Selati Camp and Bush Lodge were built. This was done with great foresight as the land was bought during the turbulent apartheid era, when the country's future direction was uncertain.  Subsequently, after purchase of the beautiful farm, 'Lisbon', Earth Lodge was constructed. Over the years, assisted by a dedicated staff of approximately 200, Sabi Sabi has preserved a wonderful piece of Africa.
