A two-bedroom, fully exclusive-use suite on the Selinda Spillway with its own private guide, chef, butler and vehicle, hand-beaten brass baths, and a private pool overlooking one of the most pristine wilderness areas on the planet.
Themed after the thatched village of Sangwali and built around the four elements — water, air, earth and fire — the Selinda Suite pairs hand-beaten brass baths and spear-and-shield African décor with mosquito-netted beds and a central covered dining and lounge area. A private deck and swimming pool look out directly over the Selinda Spillway, one of the most pristine wilderness areas left on the planet.
About the Property
A private guide, chef and butler, and a dedicated vehicle, lead open safari drives, guided bush walks and boat cruises past partially submerged elephants feeding on water lilies, with tag-and-release fishing in season. Evenings close with a six-course, small-plate interactive dining experience — cuisine and setting alike of Relais & Châteaux calibre, in a landscape that once starred in National Geographic's "Birth of a Pride."
