One of Jake & Antonias's Favourite Activities

Treehouse Sleep-out

Private overnight experience · Lion Sands, Sabi Sand
“Sleep beneath stars in elevated treehouses where the only roof is the African sky. Wildlife moves freely below whilst you drift off to night sounds — this is safari’s most unforgettable experience.”
In the operator’s own words

Three treehouses, all different.

“Chalkley, Kingston, and Tinyeleti Treehouses offer a rare safari sleepout — a blend of wilderness adventure and luxury comfort, where you dine by lantern light and drift to sleep under the stars.”

“From your elevated deck, wildlife moves undisturbed below. As darkness falls, millions of stars emerge across skies not usually visible from anywhere else, and constellations stretch to every horizon.”

How the day runs

Your room stays ready. You just won't need it.

Before you travel

Booked with your stay

“Treehouse experiences are booked with your lodge accommodation. Your room remains ready for your return at any point.”

Sunset

Driven out to your deck

“Safari vehicle transport at sunset takes you to your private setup” — the last of the drive, then the vehicle leaves.

Evening

Dinner by lantern, then dark

“Gourmet picnics, lanterns, and secure communication ensure comfort and safety” — the team is on the radio all night.

Overnight · everyone’s favourite part

Africa’s night symphony

“You’ll drift to sleep to distant lion calls, hyena whoops and rustling leaves” — under a glittering canopy, far from any city light.

After sunrise

Coffee, then collection

“Morning collection after sunrise and a hot coffee.” Straight onto the morning drive if you want it.

Highlights

Three stops that make the day.

Chalkley Treehouse

“Open to the wild and the heavens, Chalkley offers an authentic bush sleepout for two — lantern-lit, romantic, and private.”

Kingston Treehouse

“Set beyond a rocky outcrop, Kingston is a treetop hideaway with feather beds and vast views over untamed wilderness.”

Tinyeleti Treehouse

“Meaning ‘many stars’, Tinyeleti overlooks the Sabie River. A secluded escape, it pairs starlit dining with open-air living.”

Worth knowing before you say yes

It books out first

Three treehouses, a lot of demand. We reserve yours at the same time as your lodge nights, not after.

Weather has a vote

Sleep-outs are open-air. If the night turns, the lodge moves you back to your room — which is why it stays ready.

Who it suits

Honeymooners adore it; some families take it on too. Tell us who’s coming and we’ll match you to the right treehouse.
Design my safari

Put this in the middle of your safari.

Tell us your dates and who’s travelling — we’ll hold the treehouse before we do anything else, then build the rest of the trip around it.
