Lion Sands Tinga Lodge | Southern Kruger
Lion Sands Tinga Lodge is situated in the Lion Sands Game Reserve – one of Africa’s truly unspoiled wilderness areas, where the private Sabi Sand Game Reserve meets the world-renowned Kruger National Park. Tinga epitomises traditional elegance and opens onto river frontage with a camp-style look that is reminiscent of the ‘Out of Africa’ era. But far from old-fashioned, a new energy has arrived with an approach to décor and hospitality that is perennially fashionable and classically charming.

Africa has been called the greatest show on earth and a Lion Sands safari plays out like a highlights reel. Our private reserve conserves 12 400ha (30 600ac) of habitat that is home to the highest and most diverse concentration of wildlife in the southern hemisphere. You can see all of Africa’s iconic species here, including the Big Five, along with a supporting cast of 150mammal species and over 500 varieties of bird. The magic here lies in how you experience this extraordinary place and its wildlife wonders, and that’s where our talent lies.
These are our after-breakfast walks on the wild side. For those who wish to experience the bush, not just observe it, there is no better guided excursion. You are dropped in the thick of things and all five senses engage… Feel the scrub crunch beneath your feet, touch a velvety acacia seed pod, hear the crack of a branch indicating you are not alone, and spot the game appear just metres off – exhilarating! This is also a wonderful opportunity to encounter the smaller creatures, often missed on safari vehicles, and to discover more about the reserve’s plants – many with fascinating medicinal properties and traditional uses.
From boma feasts to safari refreshment stops, dining promises to be a highlight – for all our guests, with any dietary requirement, including kosher, catered for. Our chefs transform local recipes into contemporary dishes, giving you a taste for Southern Africa. Paired with premium wines from the Cape, dining becomes an experience. Our wine tastings are also a favourite of connoisseurs and dabblers, alike.
Tinyeleti, meaning ‘many stars’, offers big views of a remote landscape, globed by an even bigger sky, its lights twinkling down to the horizon. But couples and families needn’t forgo luxury for an out-of-this-world experience. A gourmet picnic, illuminated by lanterns, and feather beds ensure guests will be quite comfortable.
Our Tinyeleti Treehouse invites you to romantic nights under the stars. Enjoy a picnic dinner as the sun sets, listen for the sounds of the wild and drift off to sleep atop cloudlike, plush beds. Here you are not forgoing any luxury and will never forget the night you slept alongside the Sabie River under the African stars.
After active days on safari, restore your body, mind and spirit in our open-air spa sala - bringing you closer to nature through indulgent massages, wraps, facials and more using natural oils. Wellness is important to us and comes easy in this natural retreat.
Lion Sands together with MORE Community Foundation assists our local Huntington and Justicia B villages, and you can get involved, too. Take a community tour, the proceeds of which go to our development projects here, or roll up your sleeves to help out through our Get Your Hands Dirty initiatives.
These centre on education, infrastructure, health and environment, and you can choose the area best suited to your skills and interest. These are extraordinary social experiences that bring you to the heart of Southern Africa to make your own and others’ dreams come true.
