The lodge staff were welcoming and made us feel like family. Our guide Ollie and tracker Heaven were the best. Engaging and very knowledgeable. They took good care of us. The food was delicious and the rooms were beautiful. The entire experience was amazing. Highly recommend.

Lion Sands was a fabulous lodge for my Kruger Park safari! I can’t say enough about the beautiful setting, the superb lodging, the impeccable service, and the incredible guides and trackers! Everything exceeded my expectations beyond my wildest dreams! Seeing the Big 5 was the frosting on the cake. I would definitely go back, without hesitation!

We had booked through Go2Africa to return to River Lodge where we stayed on our last trip but were upgraded to the Hinkwenu Residence at Tinga Lodge. The residence was outstanding - absolutely huge. It had a private garden with sun beds, sofas and a pool. Inside there was a large dining area and lounge, two big bedrooms and bathrooms and even a kitchen for a chef to cook if requested. The lodge is gorgeous and right on the river Sabi so we were able to see elephants, buffalo, hippos amongst other things, across the river while we dined. What really makes this lodge outstanding are the staff. Thank you to the manager Nicole who arranged a boma night for us as we had mentioned how much we loved it at our last stay at River Lodge. Thank you to our butler, Able, for looking after us so well and for being so kind. Thank you to our guide and tracker, Albert and Mish who made sure we saw everything more than once and educated us along the way. Thank you to all the staff, for whom nothing it’s too much trouble and who all great you with a smile and make you feel like part of the family. The food here is outstanding and it was lovely to meet the chefs. I can’t recommend this place highly enough. We loved our stay and will definitely be back in Lion Sands again.

Everything about the lodge was perfect game viewing excellent, our guide and tracker were amongst the best I have worked with. Setting was góod. Only slight niggle food lacked a little bit of sophistication that I think high paying guests would expect

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
