Abelana River Lodge

2 Nights from R 7,106 per person sharing.

Journey to the Abelana River Lodge. Set in a 15000 hectare Big Five game reserve near the Kruger and Selati in the heart of South Africa’s main big game region. It’s the perfect spot for an unforgettable escape, where you can immerse yourself in wildlife experiences and still relax in total comfort. With just two lodges on the reserve, it feels exclusive and personal. This newly rebuilt lodge promises amazing views over the Selati River which brings in a wide variety of animals like crocodiles, hippos and many bird species.

Accommodation

Each room is tucked under thatch and comes with an en-suite bathroom, an outdoor shower for a real bush feel, and a spacious deck that looks out over the river – perfect for unwinding between game drives. All rooms are air-conditioned, with ceiling fans and a mini fridge for added comfort.

Dining

Mealtimes are a treat, with dining spots set up along the riverbank. Where you eat depends on the weather and what suits the mood – always relaxed and scenic.

Activities

When it comes to activities, there’s plenty to look forward to:

  • Morning and afternoon game drives with experienced guides
  • Guided bush walks to discover the little things
  • Birdwatching for keen twitchers
  • Photographic opportunities at every turn
  • Stargazing under wide-open African skies


Corporate Events

Swap out the usual meeting room for something far more inspiring. Picture your team gathered on the lodge deck, the Selati River nearby, and the bush as your backdrop. It's a setting that sparks fresh thinking and real connection.
