Sabi Sabi Seleti Camp

In the fading light of the late 19th century, the Mpumalanga lowveld witnessed the emergence of its first railway lines, constructed to transport gold from Phalaborwa to Lourenco Marques in Mocambique. Along the Selati Line, passenger trains would make their slow journey to Newington Station, where long ladders were provided by the railway company for the safety of travelers, protecting them from the prowling lions in the area. Drawing inspiration from this historic era, the magnificent Selati Camp comprises seven exquisite suites, each named after long-gone railway stations, offering a glimpse into the grand steam train epoch. Authenticated memorabilia from railway museums and storerooms is artfully integrated into the 5-star lodge’s decor. The Ivory Suite stands out as a splendid presidential suite, featuring a four-poster bed, a spacious bathroom, a private plunge pool, and elegant antiques.
