1 guests' feedbackUnbelievable scenery, most beautiful trees around river bank. Lodge beautiful and new. Beverly and Duncan's service excellent. Beverly put a lot of effort into my husband's birthday, thank you for that. Beverly and Duncan are a great asset to the lodge. Beautiful interior at lodge. Is quite far, would definitely recommend 3 nights. Really hope more guests visit the lodge, the view of Selati River is something special to see.

A range of clothing in neutral colours such as khaki, green or brown, including shorts and t-shirts, a pair of long trousers and long sleeve shirts, comfortable, closed walking shoes, for bush walks and in winter when it is cooler in the mornings and evenings, sandals or flip flops and swimming costumes. A hat is essential. Bright colours that stand out are inadvisable.
A jacket and jersey/fleece are necessary on cold days and particularly in the colder winter months from May to September.
Other useful items to bring on safari include a small torch with batteries, sunscreen, insect repellent, cameras, binoculars and any personal medication. The camp does have a basic first aid kit.
Safety and Health:
Abelana is a relatively low-risk malaria area and malaria is a treatable disease, but as a precaution guests are strongly advised to consult with a doctor prior to travel to establish what malaria medication to take and when to commence any course.
Guests are requested to ensure they have adequate travel insurance to cover emergencies, cancellations, evacuation and hospitalisation as well as loss of any personal items.
Abelana is a remote area with potentially dangerous wild animals present. This is part of its attraction. All safaris are led by expert armed guides with experience in conducting these activities. It must however be noted that all activities are conducted at own risk and travel and medical insurance is advised.
