An African Lovestory Unfolds At Selati Camp

Selati Camp - Safari Deck 1.jpg

Selati Camp has always been an impossibly romantic retreat and with the recent revamp of the ultra-luxury suites, and now with a new viewing deck, restyled “outdoor lounge and veranda” and remodelled reception and boutique area, the lodge is at its full beautiful glory.

The new deck is an elegant circle, evoking a sense of symmetry, peace and the natural circle of life. Within this space, elegant muslin fabric drapes are attached to the thick wooden supporting beams, creating a frame without disturbing the view. Taking pride of place in the centre of the deck is a magnificent antique Persian rug, atop of which sits a unique contemporary carved table. The floor has been masterfully crafted with weathered wooden slats which flow out to the cantilevered viewing platform, set slightly lower than the main deck floor. Built-in seating, tree stump tables and footrests at various heights are an irresistible temptation to kick back, and enjoy nature at its living best.

The existing “outside lounge and veranda” was treated to an overhaul, layering the area from floor to thatched roof with richness and diversity.  

A new reception, greets all visitors with its luxurious interior - a myriad intriguing paintings and  sculptures adorn the walls and tables.    

The space that previously served as the reception area, has been recreated into a boutique bush retail experience, aptly named “The Trading Post”.

Renowned for its silence and beauty, Selati Camp remains a classic vintage experience and an unforgettable destination for the romantic at heart.
