Abelana River Lodge
Boasting some of the most stunning landscapes around with the highlight being the 10 kilometre stretch of the Selati river which bisects this 15 000 hectare reserve – featuring a series of permanent pools and magnificent riverine forest, it is both scenically splendid as well as providing a fantastic year-round water source for the game that calls this reserve home, including the Big 5 and more unusual antelope like tsessebe, eland and the magnificent sable!
