Introduction to Tsala Treetops
Introduction
According to local legend, a race known as ‘the
beautiful people’ first came here, using local
stone, wood and even gold to fashion a fabulous
settlement rich in vines, fruits, fish, oysters and
honey. Although the original beautiful people may
be long gone, today’s international elite are
discovering this glorious destination anew.
In local tongue Tsala means ‘the elevated
resting place’, an apt description of this luxurious
lodge which rises high above the forest floor.
Raised wooden walkways meander through the
trees to link the main lodge, with its congenial
lounges, library and dining rooms, to the
magnificent private suites. Each is stunningly
designed, blending the craftsmanship of ancient
times with modern convenience. Open stonework
and rich woods abound, sumptuous bathrooms
feature a huge stone bath and a private ‘negative
edge’ pool appears to flow into the forest.
In the panoramic restaurant, Eastern and
European flavours complement local African
specialities to present an imaginative dining
experience. Through the dining room’s glass floor
panels one can watch the vintage wines being
brought up from the cellar below. Superb
recreations include massages in your suite,
horseriding, and nearby golf.
