Experience a Luxury Treehouse Safari at Lion Sands Tinyeleti

The concept of spending a night under the stars in a luxury treehouse has captivated the imagination of many guests, merging the untamed beauty of the bush with the comfort of luxury accommodation. It's in this unique niche that the Lion Sands Game Reserve truly excels with its trio of luxury treehouses: Chalkley, Kingston, and Tinyeleti.

A luxury treehouse safari is the perfect way to experience the African wilderness. Have you ever dreamed of sleeping under the stars in the heart of the African wilderness?

 If you’re seeking an unforgettable safari experience, then Lion Sands Tinyeleti Treehouse is the ultimate retreat. Not only does it allow you to be at one with nature, but it also offers comfort, exclusivity, and spectacular wildlife views.

From the elevated deck, we watched a leopard prowl along the riverbank, hippos wading, and even an elephant drinking just meters away. It was a moment of pure magic, perfectly blending the raw beauty of the wild with luxury safari accommodation. Moreover, the experience was both peaceful and thrilling.

We will also highlight other must-experience luxury treehouse safari, where your suite sits high above the ground, offering seclusion and breathtaking views.

Luxury Treehouse Suites at Lion Sands

At Marula Hill Travel, we specialise in curating extraordinary safari experiences for discerning travellers. Because we have personally stayed at these treehouses, we can offer expert insights into what makes them so exceptional. One of our favourite hidden gems is Lion Sands Game Reserve, home to three spectacular treehouses.

Tinyeleti Treehouse, meaning “Many Stars,” offers an open-air wilderness experience like no other. Chalkley Treehouse is built around a centuries-old Leadwood Tree, embodying romance and adventure. Additionally, Kingston Treehouse is a more enclosed, glass-walled retreat for a secluded, panoramic bush escape.

Each luxury treehouse suite is designed for complete immersion in the wild, without sacrificing comfort. With king-size beds, open-air showers, and elegant dining under the stars, these treehouses redefine the safari experience. Not only will you be close to nature, but you will also enjoy every modern luxury.

What to Expect at Tinyeleti Treehouse

Unmatched Design and Comfort

The elevated wooden deck provides panoramic views of the Sabie River. A luxurious king-size bed draped in a protective mosquito net ensures a restful night. Furthermore, the suite includes a hot shower and flushing toilet for ultimate convenience. The lantern-lit setting with plush seating and beanbags invites relaxation. Likewise, a gourmet three-course dinner is served with fine wine under the stars making it a luxury treehouse safari.

From the moment you step onto the wooden staircase, the adventure begins. You’re greeted with sweeping 360-degree views of the wilderness. The setting is secluded, romantic, and wildly luxurious.

As the sun sets, a private butler serves your gourmet dinner on the deck. Additionally, enjoy a selection of South African wines to accompany your meal. Meanwhile, the sounds of the wild enhance the experience: lions roaring, elephants trumpeting, and hyenas calling. Feel safe and secure with a two-way radio to the lodge should you need assistance. Consequently, you can relax, knowing help is available at any time. Fall asleep under the Milky Way, waking up to birds chirping and golden sunrise views.
