Camp Details

5.0 / 51 rating

Set amidst the treetops of an age-old indigenous forest, Tsala Treetop Lodge is a lavish celebration of the spirit of Africa.

Tsala exudes a mysticism that makes it a destination people wish to explore and experience – it is like no other found in Africa. It has a legendary rhythm and ambience that emulates from its spectacular architecture and history.

Ideally situated between the coastal towns of Knysna and Plettenberg Bay in the Western Cape, Tsala is a wonderful location from which to explore the beautiful Garden Route or just to spend time relaxing at the peaceful lodge.

WHY CHOOSE TSALA TREETOP LODGE?

  • Meals at Tsala are exquisitely presented in the glass walled dining room. For those wanting to enjoy the morning sunshine – our spectacular dining deck, suspended above the forest floor, is the perfect spot.
  • Tsala offers all the services you’d expect from a 5 star property and much more.
  • Irresistible to those who appreciate exclusivity, fine fare, romance and adventure. With beautiful private suites and villas, breathtaking views and forest seclusion, unique architectural design and excellent personal service, it is a fantastic get-away destination.

Staying at Tsala

What does staying in the treetops actually mean here?

The suites and villas are built among the treetops of an age-old indigenous forest, so you look out into the canopy rather than across a garden. The architecture is a large part of why people choose it, and the forest seclusion keeps each unit private from its neighbours.

Where do meals happen?

In a glass-walled dining room, or on the dining deck suspended above the forest floor, which is the place to be for morning sunshine. Dining is a substantial part of the appeal at a lodge that trades on fine fare as much as on its setting.

Is it a good base for the Garden Route?

It is well placed, sitting between the coastal towns of Knysna and Plettenberg Bay in the Western Cape, so you can explore the Garden Route by day or stay put at the lodge. Rates are not published online at the moment, though the page lists a from figure of US$431 per person per night; contact us and we will confirm.
