Sasi Bush Lodge

Sasi Bush Lodge- luxury tented bush camp- is situated on Kilburn Nature Reserve in the Northern Drakensberg of Kwa Zulu-Natal. The lodge overlooks the UNESCO World Heritage Site of uKhahlamba Royal Natal National Park and the mighty Tugela Falls which spills over the Amphitheatre to form the highest waterfall in the world- 983 meters! A unique South African experience inclusive of a fresh and healthy set menu inspired by traditional cuisine. An African-Minimalistic interior design incorporating locally manufactured furniture and highlighting mountain views and natural fauna and flora from every window. A sustainably-conscious designed tented camp, aiming at limiting our human footprint, while still offering a luxury experience in the African bush. Sasi Bush Lodge encompasses seven tented units- five accommodation units sleeping a total of 14 guests and a main lodge area complete with a bar, dining room, lounge and outdoor boma. A wooden deck with an inset rim-flow pool, overlooking the expanse of the Drakensberg Mountain range, is the perfect spot for you to enjoy a G&T. Find something that you love, that stirs up passion and excitement, that drives you to achieve a dream and you’ll want to share it with the world. This forms the basis of Sasi Bush Lodge. Originally a neglected, run down piece of land, bought by two families, enjoyed by those who have visited and evaluated based on its history, beauty and the ultimate South African experience it offers.

Immerse yourself in the history and culture of the Northern Drakensberg. A unique luxury glamping experience coupled with the best the area has to offer constitutes a perfect couple or family getaway. Whether it’s photography, birding, hiking, history or just relaxing, Kilburn Nature Reserve has a number of different activities on offer during your stay. If you follow the iconic landmark of Poccolane on a clear day from as far as Estcourt in Kwa Zulu Natal; to the mirror image from the R74 travelling from Harrismith past the majestic Sterkfontein Dam in the Free State; you will arrive at her base, in which case, Kilburn Game Farm. With the productivity of the Kilburn Dam for the TUVA hydro-electric scheme, you will encounter a delicate balance between nature and man-made activities. Learn about the history of this engineering feat and gain a better understanding of the conservation and restoration of the land on which the dam was built, giving credit to the original owners who took so much care in preserving this beautiful piece of land.
