One of Jake & Antonia's favourite lodges

Saseka Tented Camp

Thornybush Nature Reserve · Greater Kruger
“A design-led luxury safari lodge in Thornybush Nature Reserve with Big Five game drives, riverbed views and modern comforts.”
In the lodge’s own words

Modern meets wild

“Set along a curve of the Monwana River in the exclusive Thornybush Nature Reserve, Saseka Tented Camp is one of the most design-forward safari lodges in the Greater Kruger.”

“With just 8 luxury tented suites, it offers an intimate Big Five experience where vintage safari charm meets bold contemporary design. Distinctive style and the surrounding bushveld exist in perfect balance, creating an immersive yet effortlessly refined safari experience.”

Accommodation

Eight luxury tented suites

“Each of Saseka Tented Camp’s 8 suites is designed for two guests and positioned for complete privacy. Spacious and elegant, they open onto riverbed-facing decks with private plunge pools, inviting uninterrupted views of the bush.”

“Inside, a soft, nature-inspired palette blends with vintage accents and contemporary finishes, creating a calm and considered space to retreat to between game drives.”

Children from 12 years are welcome. Travelling with younger ones? Ask us about Little Saseka, the exclusive-use villa here with its own vehicle, chef and butler — or malaria-free alternatives elsewhere.
