Tinga Lodge, a luxurious retreat in a private concession of Kruger National Park, captures the romance of a classic safari along the Sabie River. Its nine elegant suites offer an intimate, sensory-rich escape.
Each spacious suite, set privately on a high riverbank, features a private plunge pool, deck with wildlife views, en-suite bathroom with mosquito-netted beds, minibar, and air-conditioning, blending pioneer-era charm with modern comfort. The Hinkwenu Residence, a standalone bush retreat, offers two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, outdoor showers, a private pool, and dedicated hospitality, ensuring an exclusive experience.
The main lodge boasts a bar lounge, library, guest pool, and boma for starlit dining, with meals served outdoors, in the dining area, or privately, with special diets accommodated upon request. The spa sala provides rejuvenating massages, while the Tinyeleti Treehouse offers a luxurious starry-night retreat with bathroom facilities and hot water, bookable alongside lodge accommodation for a unique wilderness experience.
Morning and evening game drives, guided bush walks, river walks, astronomy, and cultural visits showcase the reserve's Big Five, leopards, 137 mammal species, and over 450 bird varieties across 12,400 hectares. Located 5 km from Skukuza Airport and 20 minutes from Paul Kruger Gate, Tinga Lodge delivers a soulful blend of refined luxury and unparalleled wildlife encounters.
