EXCLUSIVE HUNTING CONCESSIONS

SELATI GAME RESERVE

Selati Game Reserve is situated on 75 000 acres of pristine land just west of the Kruger National Park, between the towns of Gravelotte and Mica, north of Nelspruit. Proclaimed as a conservancy in 2003, Selati Game Reserve is a partnership between neighbouring families who have pooled former farm land together to preserve and sustain the biodiversity of the region in the heart of the bushveld; characterized by six different veld types and a rich variety of up to 34 animal species, including 4 of the Big Five. Zander Osmers Safari’s have to date, secured the exclusive hunting rights on Selati Game Reserve for the past 17 years.

The area within which the reserve is situated is perhaps best known for its indigenous Sable Antelope herds. It is close to the Murchison Range and the mineral ore deposits of Phalaborwa, which are amongst the largest in the world.

This gives rise to a unique topography with varied and interesting geological formations manifesting themselves throughout the area. The reserve is also home to the cycad, “Encephalartos Dyerianos,” which does not occur naturally anywhere else in the world.

Camps in the reserve remain unfenced, which can occasionally result in an unannounced encounter as animals wander through the camp sites, which only adds to excitement of the bush experience! Expect sightings of baboon, zebra, giraffe, caracal, bushbaby (if you enjoy a night drive), spring hare, jackal, honey badger, mongoose, hyrax, wildebeest and any number of antelope, to name but a few.

Plains game and other common game species in abundance on Selati Game Reserve include baboon, blue wildebeest, bushbuck, bushpig, civet, grey duiker, eland, elephant, genet, giraffe, grysbuck, hyena, impala, jackal, klipspringer, kudu, leopard, lion, caracal, nyala, ostrich, reedbuck, rhino, sable, steenbuck, warthog, waterbuck and zebra.
