Selati Lodge in Sabi Sands harkens back to yesteryear, and it’s eight colonial-styled rooms are dreamily romantic, with oil lamps at night. There are however the typical modern amenities that you would expect.

Game drives are in open vehicles led by knowledgeable game rangers and trackers, who delight in informing you about the fauna and flora you encounter on Sabi Sabi’s large, brilliantly positioned concession, with excellent leopard and wild dog sightings.
