Saseka Tented Camp

Saseka Tented Camp is the newest lodge in the Thornybush Collection, offering a truly unique, luxurious experience in a Big Five nature reserve adjacent to the Kruger National Park. Saseka is the Tsonga word for beautiful and if guests are lucky they might spot a beautiful female leopard which goes by the same name.

Saseka Tented Camp is situated alongside the Monwana River which sweeps through Thornybush Nature Reserve. A distinct curve in the river was a natural catalyst for the site of the main area. The elevated tented suites give guests a full view of the riverbed and are surrounded by some very large and beautiful trees. The sand riverbed presents guests with game viewing opportunities from the comfort of their private decks.
