Tripadvisor comments Sabi Sabi Selati Camp

Loved Selati Camp. Small and intimate and the best, smartest ranger and staff. Game drives were wonderful and Yaap is the man! He is an exceptions ranger at the camp who knows the animals (large and small) as if he spent his whole life with them Allistair was there to great us when ever we returned to camp after a drive and the atmosphere was just so warm. Our suite was beautiful and it was a great African experience. After a short visit to both Bush Lodge and Earth Lodge Selati would have my vote for a true Out of Africa Experience! Also our tracker Voster was delightful!

Just returned home after 4 days at Selati Lodge, in the Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve. I cannot recommend this lodge highly enough. The food was fantastic, the staff helpful and happy, the accommodation fit for a princess. But the highlights of the trip were the Dawn & Dusk safaris. The exhilaration of driving round a corner & finding a mother rhino & her 1 month old baby in the way was only exceeded by coming across a pride of lions hunting a herd of buffalo, which was exceeded by finding a mother leopard & her frisky baby resting on a termite mound. Our ranger Alaister and tracker Mike were so superb, I can't thank them enough for their professionalism and enthusiasm and friendliness to us, Book your trip NOW!!!!!
