I have nothing but great things to say about Tinga Lodge. Fromm the moment we stepped off the plane, we were well taken care of. Our guide Bricks and trainee Amy were with us the entire stay, and it could not have gone better. We had so much fun with the two of them, and our spotter Emmanuel. Each outing was fantastic. Back at the lodge, our butler Sunrise took great care of us at mealtimes, as did all the staff. The food was absolutely outstanding. I am glad we were able to meet the chef and tell him so ourselves. I really cannot say enough good things about our trip and how well we were cared for. We had no worries or cares for the entire time.

“No Complaints Here!”

No complaints here. Beautiful lodge, great location, lovely villas with private pool, great staff, and delicious food. Game drives were great and the guides were excellent. Had the best trucks for game drives that we went on.

Tinga lodge by more collection was both one of the most memorable stays I’ve experienced and unique. The concierge service from the point of arrival and attention to detail with the level of personalisation from the get go set this game reserve apart! The beautifully designed reception/ lobby you walk through extending into a stunning view of the river with lush Green trees to the rooms. The thoughtful touches like an assigned butler/having the same dedicated staff throughout the whole duration of your stay made you feel like you were being cared for by a team of people that genuinely knew you. It was evident that there had been much thought given to every detail in the rooms from the selection of drinks that filled your own complimentary mini bar, coffee/ tea selection and quality of amenities in the room, and mountain-view balconies—made the stay feel indulgent, comfortable and special. The restaurant was outstanding; offering seasonal menus and the ability to cater to all dietary requirements and excellent service. The serene views only elevated the experience. The outdoor plunge pools in the room in nature, the gym hut surrounded by animals and nature whilst working out was really a unique experience. Even though we did not get an opportunity on this stay to experience the spa treatments the interior design was outstanding. The onsite shop supported local communities and small designers which was a nice touch and these designers were further promoted by staff wearing some of thee beautiful garments as part of their uniform and products such as the intricate place mats sold being utilised in the restaurant. Exceptional people delivered exceptional service making our stay truly special throughout and one of a kind in South Africa. Stand outs that went above and beyond during our stay and I have to mention were benny and MP and then are our very knowledgable and charismatic guide Ollie and very very good tracker Heaven on the game drives, who have definitely equipped us well for any animal trivia back in the city! Overall, what makes this reserve exceptional is how seamlessly everything comes together — thoughtful service, beautiful surroundings, and genuine care that makes you feel less like a guest and more like you’re being hosted in a home away from home. Worth the price and couldn’t recommend a stay here more highly!

Lion Sands Tinga is an excellent lodge in a most attractive setting. The accommodation is spacious with all the deluxe amenities. The food is excellent and the staff welcoming, professional, and most capable. The highlight of our stay was having Aaron as our ranger and his marvelous tracker whose name I unfortunately forget . Our tracker was also outstanding. Aaron has a wonderful personality and is extremely well-educated. His knowledge of the flora and fauna were superb. The highlight of our game-viewing experience was seeing lions devour an already dead elephant. This was at first shocking but also fascinating. Ethel does a marvelous job as does Mr. T. Thank you to all of you for making our stay so wonderful. My only suggestion is that the lodge could use a make over. If this lodge were redecorated, it would rank among the best in Sabi Sands.
