Lion Sands Tinga Lodge

Overview

Unapologetically exclusive

Lion Sands Tinga Lodge offers a truly immersive safari experience for the intrepid and discerning traveler alike. Combining utmost exclusivity with warm African hospitality and enriching and thrilling wildlife encounters, a safari at Lion Sands Tinga Lodge is an adventure into the wild that you will never forget.

Tinga Lodge is located in the Lion Sands Game Reserve – the only private wildlife sanctuary to have access to both Sabi Sands Game Reserve and the Kruger National Park. The reserve is home to a staggering concentration of wildlife, including the Big Five and other iconic species. Built around a 200-year old jackalberry tree and overlooking the perennial Sabie River, the lodge’s location is spectacular, affording guests unparalleled views and wildlife encounters on their doorstep.

The luxurious riverside suites are set far apart on the banks of the Sabie, offering guests privacy and exclusivity. Each comes with a private plunge pool and wooden deck overlooking the river. The opulent Hi’Nkweni Villa is a two-bedroom exclusive-use villa that comes with a private guide, tracker, and entire hospitality team. For the romantics and adventurers alike, the famous Treehouses offer the ultimate disconnect and immersion into the bush and are a must when visiting the reserve.
