You need to take a step back this Valentine’s Day, back in time that is… To Selati Camp in the wonderful wilderness of Sabi Sabi Game Reserve.
This destination simmers an undeniably romantic sophistication and reminders of more genteel times. The camp takes its name from the railway line where steam engines once rattled across these plains to distant shores, bearing the glittering harvest of the 1800’s Lowveld Gold Rush.
You’ll still find remnants of these glory days all around the camp, where these grander times are recreated in glorious detail.
Romantic Suites
The intimacy of the eight luxurious suites at Selati Camp embody effortless elegance and classic style with antique furnishings and huge mosquito nets draped over the four-poster beds.
Muted earth tones and floor to ceiling glass doors create a relaxed ambience that flows out to private exterior sanctuaries boasting open air baths and showers and an intimate patio. Here, you can linger under the stars for hours or spoil yourselves with a private candlelit dinner for two.
Alternatively, dinner is served al fresco around a roaring fire, or in the intimate surroundings of a private farmhouse kitchen. Breakfasts and lunches take place on an open deck draped in wistful muslin fabric.
Infinite Relaxation and Romance
Every morning, you’ll experience the romance of an African sunrise as you head out in search of Big Five game species and repeat the experience in the late afternoon as the sun dips sinks into the distant horizon.
In between activities, pampering spa treatments, poolside relaxation and cocktails on a viewing deck overlooking the savannah add to the romantic bliss. At night, glittering lanterns twinkle under the African stars and night birds lull you into glorious slumber.
There’s no doubt that Selati Camp will melt even the stoniest hearts this Valentine’s Day or any time of the year. All Sabi Sabi’s lodges are easily accessed via private charter from anywhere in South Africa, or you can fly into Skukuza and enjoy a short transfer through the bush to your secluded destination.
Get in touch and we’ll arrange an unforgettably romantic southern African safari for just the two of you.
