Sasi Bush Lodge

Sasi Bush Lodge is a luxury tented safari camp nestled in the foothills of the Northern Drakensberg Mountains in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, overlooking the Kilburn Dam. The property is situated on Kilburn Private Game Farm, with views of the magnificent Tugela Waterfalls, the world's highest at 983 meters.

The lodge features six distinct tented accommodations, including luxury, premium, and superior options. The flagship units include Jujube, a romantic tent nestled among Buffalo-Thorn Trees, and Ukusa, offering 360-degree mountain views. Sundown caters to families and groups, while New Beginnings, Admiralty, and Kiepersol each offer unique experiences with private pools and luxurious amenities.

The main lodge area comprises a bar, dining room, lounge, and outdoor boma. A wooden deck with an inset rim-flow pool provides panoramic views of the Drakensberg Mountain range. The lodge emphasizes African-Minimalistic interior design, featuring locally made furniture and sustainable practices to minimize environmental impact.

Guests can enjoy various activities including 4x4 game drives, guided walks, and food safaris in the African bush. The property's proximity to Royal Natal National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offers access to memorable hiking experiences, including the Tugela Gorge Walk. Additional amenities include massage services, bush breakfasts, and rock art tours at the New Beginnings Cave.

The lodge's ethos centers on ecosystem revival through rewilding efforts and removal of alien vegetation. It serves fresh, healthy meals inspired by traditional South African cuisine, with dining experiences available in various settings throughout the property. The establishment was founded by two families who transformed a neglected piece of land into a luxury wilderness retreat that celebrates South African heritage and natural beauty.
