Fantastic. Very close to Shekuza Airport so the transfer took only 10 mins. Beautiful Lodge and fab rooms overlooking Sabi River. We watched elephants , hippos and water Buffulo stop for drinks. The game drives were fantastic even though the weather wasn’t great. Saw all the big 5 and had some wonderful food. Couldn’t fault the service. Our 3rd safari and just as good as the other 2. Highly recommended.

Our stay at Lion Sands Tinga Lodge was wonderful and beyond what we could ever have imagined. Extremely friendly, and welcoming staff. Beautiful luxurious stand-alone villa with top views, including elephant, hippo and even Impalas close to our porch. Or a leopard roaring close by at night. Loved the ambience of the lodge and delicious food on the veranda for breakfast and dinner. Not to forget the absolutely superb game drives. Each of them an experience for itself. Wildlife and nature at its best. Our professional guide Ryan and tracker Reckson exactly knew how to handle the animals with such calmness, and care. Exceptional sunset aperos in the middle of nowhere rounded up the entire safari dream. It indeed was a shame we had to leave this place after 2 days, we could have done much more. This definitely is a reason for coming back. Thank you.

Lion Sands Tinga was absolutely fantastic! Everything from our warm welcome, great rooms, great game drives, and wonderful food and drinks made it so worthwhile! Our Game Ranger Dre, and Tracker Wanted were awesome. They were so fun but knowledgeable, and we were so lucky with our sightings! Our helper Benny, and the reception staff and Nicole made it all so special! Pretty and Thembisile kept our rooms clean and tidy, and the Spa treatment by Nhlengiwe was fabulous!. Tasty tasty food. Chef Civilised even made us a curry! We were well and truly looked after. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!! From Mark, Sharmain and Josha

Hotel is in the always lively historical main square with a grand and imposing Cathedral. We had a comfortable and clean room with a view of the square and could easily walk to many of the local main attractions. Staff were very polite and helpful. Breakfast was plentiful with hot food, salad and fruits etc. The lady staff in charge was always cheerful and welcoming to all guests who come for their first meal of the day.

Where to even begin... From the moment we arrived at Lion Sands Tinga Lodge for our honeymoon we felt at home. The staff go out of their way each day to make the experience truly special. The room we stayed in was clean, well kept, and beautiful. The air conditioning worked quite well for how hot it was during our stay. Make sure to keep the mosquito netting up at night cause the room does get a bit buggy but it's hard to avoid that in the bush. The food was delicious and the meal area allows you to connect with other travelers. We loved getting to know the other folks on our drives and at the lodge. The guides and trackers are all extremely knowledgeable and provide a once in a lifetime experience on each drive. The spa was luxurious and serene. I'd recommend anyone that is looking for an elegant, intimate, and informative safari experience to stay at the Tinga Lodge.

The staff was absolutely amazing!! Our tracker Wanted and guide Dre made for a mesmerizing Safari experience. Our butler Pinky made sure our vegan diet was accommodated with delicious dishes! Top to bottom, one of the best travel experiences, if not the best, I have ever had! And I have fortunately been many many places and am a bit of a hotel/lodge snob. Lol.

Staying at the Tinga Lodge is truly a once in a lifetime experience. You experience twice a day safari game drives in an open air truck with an experience guide and tracker. Having both a tracker and guide makes for a great experience. The property is expansive and you will get a variety of experiences during your stay. The lodge itself only has a few handfuls of rooms, so the amount of trucks on the property is small (given smaller number of guests) relative to other lodges / properties. This means you won't cross paths with as many other vehicles on your game drives, making for a more personal experience with the animals. The accommodations were beautiful and the food was exquisite. The team who made our stay special: Dre was an absolutely amazing guide. He was highly knowledgeable and made the entire experience truly unforgettable. Wanted was our tracker and he was fantastic, with an amazing eye and deep skillset. Amos, our butler, always made us feel at home and was very friendly and helpful. The entire team at the Tinga Lodge was welcoming and made our stay fantastic.
