Saseka Tented Camp

Thornybush, Greater Kruger, South Africa

Saseka feels very much like a shining jewel in the Thornybush crown, located in a spectacular position on a bend of the seasonal Monwana River. It's a strikingly unique camp with a fabulous layout and finds a superb balance between cutting-edge design, classical style and feeling connected to the outside environment.


The main area has a large, tiered deck with a broad view of the riverbed and a cleverly designed roof that mimics the dappled light of a tree canopy. This is where guests gather for a drink or a meal, share stories and listen to the afternoon breeze bringing the surrounding trees to life.


Away from the soothing tones of the main area, guests stay in nine luxurious tented suites with stylish interiors, sweeping decks, private pools and uninterrupted views of the riverbed. The Leadwood Villa offers a sole-use option within the lodge, perfect for small groups and families.


The suites, with elevated views of the riverbed, are ultra-spacious safari tents on permanent foundations. Glass doors open up onto your own extensive private deck and pool, complete with sun loungers and chairs. In a private corner, there’s also an outdoor shower with bush views. 


Attention to detail is present wherever you look, a great example of this is the fabric of the interior canvas, designed exclusively for Saseka, with prints from the herbarium in Pretoria of all the region’s plants. The intelligent lighting of the tented suites is also an impressive feature. The suites allow the sounds of the bush to filter in to give a truly immersed safari experience.


Experience the ultimate intimacy of the Leadwood Villa. As a sole-use option, this space grants the privacy of staying at your own lodge within the magnificent grounds of Saseka Tented Camp. Embrace the privacy of this exclusive-use accommodation for your whole family or small group.


The main villa includes a tented suite, sunken outdoor lounge and fire pit as well as an indoor lounge area. With space for up to six people, accommodated in adjacent tented suites, you’re able to experience the luxury of the bush in a prime setting.
