Tinga Private Game Lodge is situated on the banks of the Sabie River, in the prime game-viewing
area of the Kruger National Park. The Sabie River has the highest recorded density of leopards
in Africa, and one of the highest predator densities. The Sabie River is also said to have the
richest biodiversity of any South African river, with many endangered and rare species
(mammals, birds, reptiles and plants) being found in the area.
Tinga has an exclusive 5000-hectare concession within this area, where guests can view the wildlife
on safaris or bush walks, whilst accompanied by SANParks-accredited guides. Tinga vehicles also
have access to the entire Kruger road network, thus allowing guests to view the areas of historical
significance and aesthetic beauty that the southern Kruger has to offer.
In his book, SOUTH AFRICAN EDEN, James Stevenson-Hamilton,
the first warden of the Kruger, often referred to the Spirit
of the Wild, which was the essence of the Kruger. The images
above show that the Spirit of the Wild lives on at Tinga.
Legends can be described as a classic safari lodge. The large, luxurious suites at
Legends epitomize comfort and style, and each suite boasts its own private
game-viewing deck and heated plunge pool, with magnificent views of the Sabie River.
Narina has a distinctly more African feel. Built on stilts and nestled between the trees
on the banks of the Sabie river, the large private wood and thatch suites make Narina the
romantic hideaway of your dreams. Each suite opens onto a private game viewing deck with
plunge pool and outdoor shower.
