Literally one of the best if the best lodge is South Africa. Service was impeccable, lodge is stunning, views are amazing and most importantly the game drives are amazing. We are grateful to see the Big 5 + more within 3 games drives (2 days) and up close. They off road so the viewing of the animals is insane! Richard is one of the best rangers there on the reserve! If you stay there I highly recommend you ask for Richard, he is very informative and also very fun to be with. Very exclusive lodge

Our family of five stayed at Little Saseka in October 2024, and even months later, as I look through our incredible photos, I feel compelled to express our gratitude again. This was, without a doubt, one of the most extraordinary trips we've ever taken. Accommodation The luxurious tented suites at Saseka are nothing short of breathtaking. Stylish, beautifully designed, and completely private, they make you feel as though you are alone in the wilderness, surrounded only by nature. Floor-to-ceiling glass offers uninterrupted views, allowing us to watch monkeys and kudus drinking from our plunge pool and even spot elephants in the distance while soaking in the bathtub. The indoor and outdoor showers were a fantastic touch, making us feel even closer to nature. Service The service at Saseka is beyond exceptional. Our butler, Mr. T, was an absolute gem—unbelievably friendly, funny, and attentive. His energy at 5 AM was unmatched, and he always went the extra mile to ensure we were comfortable. A special thanks as well to the chef and hotel manager (whose names I wish I had noted) for their outstanding hospitality. Food Wow—just wow! We are usually quite selective when it comes to food, but every single meal at Saseka was exquisitely prepared, flavorful, and abundant. The highlight was our final evening: a barbecue in the bush, in the very spot where, just a day before, we had watched an elephant and a leopard pass through. It was an unforgettable experience. Game Drives The game drives were the primary reason for our trip, as this was our first African safari—and what an introduction it was! Words cannot fully capture the feeling of seeing a pride of lions resting in the shade, watching a leopard high up in a tree with its kill, or witnessing elephants push over a dead tree right before our eyes. It was pure magic. A huge thank you to our guide, Josia, and our tracker, Antony. Not only were they extremely knowledgeable, but their sense of humor made every drive even more enjoyable. Final Thoughts If you're considering a stay at Saseka, stop thinking and just book it. This is luxury, adventure, and the raw beauty of Africa all wrapped into one. We cannot recommend it highly enough!

We loved Saseka! Incredible game viewing, staff and amenities. We’ve been on other safaris in Tanzania and Kenya since, and still think Saseka had some of the best game. We saw a lion within the first drive and saw the big 5 over our 3 days.

My husband and I spent 3 nights at Saseka Tented Camp in October 2024, and I can say it is truly one of the most beautiful safari lodges we have ever been to. The tents are absolutely stunning and so comfortable, with great attention to details. The food at Saseka Tented Camp was excellent! I am still dreaming of some of the lunches they served us: small plates of salad, meat, etc. It was delicious! :) The staff was perfect (I am so annoyed right now that I cannot remember our butler's name because he was super nice), they are all so helpful and nice. We really enjoyed our safari drives with Joe and Abed! We got to see so much. And by chance we got paired with another guest who we had so much fun with! It was an unfortgettable stay! Would love to visit again in the future. Thank you very much! Cheers from London

Having experienced two safari camps in Botswana previously that were fabulous, I wondered before embarking on my trip how Saseka would compare. Well, they were every bit as outstanding as my previous experiences, and then some! |The staff treats all their guests as family and takes care of any need or want, big or small. I in particular was concerned about my dietary needs as I am plant-based. The chef did an outstanding job with every meal, had food prepared just for me, and remembered all the little details that many places overlook. Coffee creamer, dessert, bread, even my own butter! Every meal was beautiful visually, and so delicious. If you have dietary concerns, they will take excellent care of you at Saseka.|The game drives were highly enjoyable with our knowledgeable guide Greg and tracker Hendrick. They accommodated our desire to see various animals and provided lots of educational dialog as we drove. And they were fun to be around!|The tented suites are just lovely -- look at any of the photos here and you will get a good idea of the beauty of the accommodations. I wish my apartment was half as nice!|I would definitely go back to Saseka and consider it a privilege to have visited such a wonderful place!

The lodge is definitely worth a visit. Experienced trackers and guides ensure special sightings and go out of their way to ensure you see the Big 5. The staff at the lodge are very attentive and make the overall experience a very memorable one.

Incredible couple of days, faultless. |The tents are beautiful with individual pools, patios and the best of amenities. The food was plentiful and delicious. ||Our safari was beyond any expectation, seeing leopard, Rhino and lion cubs all exceptionally close. Rudi was our guide and was helpful and extremely knowledgeable aided by our tracker Frank. ||Everyone was very helpful and my children, husband and I found it the highlight of our SA visit.

No words can do justice to how incredible this place is, in every aspect! The tents and the main lodge are immaculate and such wonderful places to sit, relax and watch the animals wonder by in the riverbed. The game drives are more than anything I ever imagined, we spotted the big 5 on nearly every drive, and managed to spot some very rare sightings including a leopard kill, 3 month old lion cubs playing and 4 bull elephants playing in a dam. The food and drink (all included) is of such a high standard and you’ll certainly never go hungry, with snacks and drinks offered throughout your days. My wife is a vegan and she was so happy with the effort put in by chef Kyle to give her exceptional food throughout as well. We were on our honeymoon and treated to a surprise private dining experience on one of the nights, they’d even run the bath for us! What makes this place so special is the staff, they welcome you home from every drive with the nicest smelling hot or cold towel depending on the time, a welcome drink and so many smiles. Our tracker Joe is just the most amazing man, with incredible knowledge and a sense of humour that keeps you laughing throughout the day. With everyone’s stay, they make sure you get own evening down on the river bed for dinner which was another amazing experience. I could go on and on about it all, it was the trip of a lifetime and I couldn’t recommend Saseka high enough! THE BEST!
