Overview of Saseka Tented Camp
One of Thornybush’s most luxurious safari camps, Saseka Tented Camp has been carefully set on the banks of a seasonal river in one of South Africa’s best private game reserves, a privately-run conservation area adjacent to the Kruger National Park. It is classic Big 5 country, and Saseka’s design means it is suitable for couples on a romantic journey.
It is a small and intimate camp: there are only nine tented suites at Saseka, plus a large and luxurious safari villa, Little Saseka – perfect for couples or families looking for superior privacy. Built to exacting standards and with an eye for detail, each suite overlooks the seasonal Monwana River, which is sometimes sandy and dry, sometimes flowing, but always attractive to wildlife. You can sit on your deck and watch animals and birds between rewarding twice-daily game drives. You will sit back on a specially-designed vehicle in the safe hands of a driver/guide and a sharp-eyed tracker, on the lookout for the Big 5 – lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo – as well as the other major players of the bush, from hippos to honey badgers.
Back at camp you have designer accommodation to look forward to, complete with air conditioning for perfect temperature control. Slide back the glass doors at the front of your suite and you will find a plunge pool on your private deck, the ideal spot to relax and watch a male weaver bird build an intricate nest or listen to the gentle song of a Burchell’s coucal…
Make a Positive Impact Through TravelThornybush Community is a non-profit organisation with the objective of nurturing and uplifting the surrounding local communities adjacent to its protected areas. Located on the western border of the Greater Kruger National Park and on the boundary of the Northern Sabi Sand Nature Reserve, Thornybush Community initially focused its work on two villages, Uthla and a smaller neighbouring community, Dixie. In 2019, a new geographical area was identified in Acornhoek, and this has allowed for some exciting new initiatives and partnerships. Over the years, the focus areas have expanded, and Thornybush Community has become a contributor to the NPO sector and supports various community initiatives. |

General Facilities
Beautifully built from stone and timber, Saseka sits comfortably and unobtrusively on the banks of the seasonal Monwana River. The main lodge has a grandstand view of the riverbed, its covered indoor area flowing onto broad wooden decks with easy chairs. There is plenty of space to relax and socialise at the main camp – the two large fireplaces are popular in winter, which coincides with peak safari season.
A boutique gift shop is available if you would like a souvenir of your stay. Wi-Fi is available at Saseka, as is a laundry service.

If you feel like something a bit more private, then your host will be happy to arrange a table for two at your suite. Guests staying at the villa have a dedicated dining area for private meals.
All meals are prepared at the lodge and a team of chefs ensures all dietary requirements are catered for, with sufficient notice.
