A 5,000 hectare (12,500 acre) private concession with the highest concentration of Black Rhino in South Africa. It is the only private reserve with access to both the Sabie and Sand rivers, enhancing diversity of game viewing.

Tinga Lodge is one of Lion Sands' two nine tented camps, on the banks of the Sabie River, along with sister camp Narina Lodge. Together they form Lion Sands Kruger National Park, a unique product in an incredible location. Fantastic accommodation and guiding have been combined with first-class service and accommodation to ensure guests here enjoy a truly memorable safari experience.

Each of the huge suites offers guests an indulgent private base for their safari; luxurious accommodation consists of king size or twin beds with en-suite bathrooms, indoor and outdoor showers and baths with views over the river. There's a separate sitting area and sliding doors lead out on to the private deck, complete with plunge pool and a shaded sitting area.

Guests visiting Lion Sands must take the opportunity to stay in one of the jaw-droppingly cool treehouses. Perched high on stilts these platforms offer the chance to spend the night out under the stars in the heart of the South African bush.
