Experience the wonders of Saseka Tented Camp, the crown jewel in the Thornybush Private Game Reserve
Watch NowSaseka Tented Camp, located in Thornubush Private Game Reserve in the Greater Kruger National Park, offers you the perfect base to connect with Mother Nature, her wildlife, and your loved ones. It's a wildlife paradise promising thrilling up-close game drives and bushwalks. Furthermore, everything they do is fuelled by their passion to uplift and empower the surrounding communities.
Saseka Tented Camp is located in Thornybush Private Game Reserve, part of the world-famous Greater Kruger National Park in South Africa. The animals can roam free between the two reserves, which means you still get to see all of the wildlife Kruger is renowned for! The difference, however, lies in the fact that Thornybush is a private game reserve, which means more intimate, luxury lodges, off-road game drives, bushwalks, and after-dark game drives. It's the crème de la crème of safari experiences!
Very! Because Saseka Tented Camp is in South Africa, it falls under South African law. Here being gay is legal, gay marriage is recognised, and they even go as far as criminalising discrimination based on sexual orientation. The lodge itself is also very welcoming to all LGBTQ+ travellers, and because of its exclusivity, you likely won't even have to interact with anyone else.
All activities are gay-friendly! Your day will generally start with a sunrise safari, whereafter you enjoy a breakfast spread. Then you can spend your time at your own leisure, from lazing in your private plunge pool with a curated cocktail, reading your way through their classic literacy, or enjoying spa treatments. If you're not one for sitting still for too long, why not go on the ultimate safari experience - a walking safari! Dinner is also an event of its own, often served under the stars.
The peak time to visit Thornybush in Kruger National Park is from July to December. However, it really is a year-round destination. It just all depends on what you prefer. If you visit during winter, the bush is dry and sparse, providing excellent game viewing. Watering holes are also scarcer, so you tend to see many animals gathered around the same water source at a time. However, rainfall is high if you visit during the summer months, and the bush is lush and green. This is also the time that most animals give birth, giving you incredible newborn sightings! If you have any doubts about what time of year will suit you best, our Travel Experts can help.
