Indulge in an unforgettable escape at 18 On The Hill, a luxurious safari lodge located at Maseke Game Reserve, nestled in the Balule Nature Reserve, sharing an unfenced border with the iconic Kruger National Park. More than just accommodation, we offer a serene sanctuary where natural elegance meets heartfelt hospitality. Our motto is "I matutu vana va tavasi", which means "It is plenty" in Xitsonga, the language of the lowveld. 18 On The Hill’s promise to you is plenty of unforgettable moments that enrich the soul from our safaris, to our accommodation, dining, service and everything in between.
Our 9 exquisite tented suites redefine "glamping," with their king-size bed (that can convert into twin beds) and sofa bed, providing spacious, modern comfort within a canvas embrace, including all the luxury conveniences of a 5-star establishment. Each tent is themed according to a different tree, indigenous to the Kruger area, with highlighting features being the private plunge pool and outdoor shower.
