There is a matchless kind of magic to be found in the distinctive African dawn and African dusk. These and other breathtaking viewsare among the rare and priceless treasures located here in the unspoilt part of Africa that is Shelanti.  Here, the real sights and sounds of untamed Africa still exists under the dazzling Milky Way.

Shelanti is a place that dreams -  and memories - are made of.  Gentle green summers and cool, clear winters will have you coming back for more.  Proudly part of the Waterberg Biosphere Reserve, this malaria-free resort is privately-owned and managed by a team of qualified and dedicated people whose primary qualification is a true love and respect for the South African bush.  Shelanti's directors, Edwin Claassen and Piet Snyman, both are great nature lovers with a special and sincere concern for South Africa's diminishing conservational assets.

Nestled between the rural villages of Marken and Baltimore in the Northern Province Bushveld, Shelanti is merely a three-hour drivefrom Johannesburg and less than two hours' drive from Pietersburg.  This retreat of leisureand bliss is furthermore safe, allowing visitors to enjoy both freedom and protection.

Shelanti is indeed an ecological paradise for those who can appreciate and respect the African bush experience at its very best.  At night, sharp-eyed visitors might encounter leopards, spotted and brown hyenas, aardwolves, black-backed jackals or even

bat-earedfoxes.  Add to the mix the odd porcupine, aardvark, springhare, bush baby and numerous nocturnal birds, and you'll soon realise why so many visitors love the African - the Shelanti - nightlife.
