Lion Sands Tinga Lodge - Information

Nestled high on the banks of the Sabie River, a place giraffes, elephants, and other wildlife frequent, Lion Sands Tinga Lodge offers a private haven of seclusion with just nine suites and the exclusive two-bedroom Hinkwenu Residence. Every suite offers stunning views that bring the outside inside, combining modern luxury with vintage design to create a personal connection with Africa's wild grandeur.
Unwind by the infinity pool or savour a fine dining experience outside under the African sky. Offering the height of luxury in the wild, each suite is completely furnished with roomy living rooms, an alluring outdoor shower, and a private plunge pool. When you step outside through the glass sliding doors of your suite, your deck becomes a stage for stargazing al fresco showers, private dining experiences, and poolside safaris.
Set out on legendary safari drives with knowledgeable field guides at dawn and twilight. With your senses sharpened to every detail of the bush as you search for the Big Five and our famous leopards, this experience perfectly encapsulates the essence of an African safari. Following breakfast, embark on an intimate walking tour into the bush, guided by knowledgeable guides who will decipher the subtle cues from the natural world.

The choice of Lodge at Lion Sands is dependent on your personal taste. If you prefer the company of others in a larger environment, then River Lodge is for you.  If you enjoy utter exclusivity with the privacy of your own Villa with deck, lounge and pool, then we recommend Ivory Lodge.

Sleep Under The Stars at Lion Sands

The Lion Sands Treehouses are the ultimate bush bedrooms. Arrive at sunset to a scrumptious picnic dinner, and spend the hours of dusk fully appreciating the vastness of the bushveld as it transforms from day to night. Slumber directly beneath the Milky Way where you may well lose count of the shooting stars. The Treehouses at Lion Sands are for the hopeless romantic (ideal as a wedding or anniversary treat), the adventurer, the person who needs a complete disconnect and digital detox, or the wildlife enthusiast who prefers the bush au-natural.

All of the Treehouses are securely constructed above the ground, where animals will remain at a safe and comfortable distance. Our Field Guide will provide a full orientation when he drops guests off before sunset, and will remain on call via the radio left behind until it is time to leave the following morning after sunrise and a good cup of coffee!
