Home to the extensive Mpumalanga cross-section of wildlife, including the Big Five and various endangered species, the park also shares 50 kilometers of its unfenced boundary line with neighbouring Kruger National Park. Animals pass casually between the two parks, unhindered and abundant.

Selati camp occupies 30500 hectares of charming, unfenced estate, stretched out between Mica, Gravelotte and Phalaborwa. Given access to by a series of colourfully named roads such as ‘thankerton cutline’ and ‘sunrise boulevard’, and subject to occasional night visits from some of the area’s curious inhabitants, Selati is an exciting and intriguing destination which will have you full of questions and starry eyed at the bold, natural beauty of the Sabi Sabi Game Reserve.

Accommodation

Accommodation at Selati is provided in eight luxury thatched suites, all complete with en-suite bathrooms, relaxing, scenic decks, private outdoor shower, ceiling fans and air conditioning, romantic oil lantern lighting, and access to a charming outdoor boma for al fresco meals.
