Tinga Lodge Lion Sands - Safari Kruger, South Africa

Tinga Lodge is situated in the eastern part of the Lion Sands Reserve in the actual Kruger National Park. Tinga Lodge is run with a lot of passion and professionalism like all the other lodges in the reserve. The style of Tinga Lodge is based on the colonial homesteads from the times of the safari pioneers, but of course offers every conceivable luxury.

The main building and the nine 80m² suites are located on the northern bank of the Sabie River, not far from Skukuza. The suites offer plenty of privacy, views of the Sabie River and are equipped with all the amenities one could wish for: En-suite bathroom with bathtub, shower, bedroom with view and fireplace, lounge with minibar and large sliding doors to the terrace which features a private plunge pool.

For families, the Hi'Nkweni Villa comes with two bedrooms, large deck and private pool. Included is your own team with private guide and vehicle. The Hi'Nkweni Villa is set back a little and is not directly on the river. Therefore, small children are also allowed.

Location

Lion Sands Game Reserve is part of the Sabi Sand Reserve. From Johannesburg, Lion Sands can be reached in about 1 hour by air, usually to Skukuza Airport. From Cape Town, the flight time is about two hours 30 minutes.

Wildlife

The lodges in the Sabi Sand Reserve are renowned for their excellent game viewing, and encounters with the big five are almost guaranteed. The Kruger Park side is unfenced, allowing the animals to move freely between Kruger National Park and the private nature reserve.

Lion Sands is the only private game reserve rooted in both the Sabi Sand Reserve and Kruger National Park, protecting 6,400ha and 6,000ha, respectively, of pristine wildlife habitat, as well as sites of cultural and historical significance. The Sand River borders the area in the north and the Sabie River flows for 12km through the southern part of the reserve. The access to water is always a guarantee for good animal sightings and interesting bird life.

Activities

Lion Sands has plenty to offer, including star-gazing, bush breakfasts and dinners, bush walks, hippo tours, safari lunches and exciting game drives. Guests can enjoy the spa facilities or the swimming pool when not participating in activities.
