From Kruger to Murray to Abel, the staff were truly what made the stay extraordinary. The attention to detail and warmth, made you feel like each time you turned into the driveway from another spectacular safari you were coming home. Truly an experience of a lifetime.

I stayed at Tinga Lodge. Probably one of the best properties I have stayed at. The airport was 5 mins away - extremely convenient. The room was massive, had all the amenities. The only thing I wasn't extremely happy about was the food. I think they could have done much better.

Amazing in every way. From the accommodations to the food to the service it was an incredible time. Our guide Ben and tracker Collence for game drives were absolute rockstars and completely made the experience with their knowledge, talent and charming personalities. Worth every penny and would stay again in a second.

The lodge was exquisite and service exceptional! The food was also amazing. My only complaint is the plunge pool for our room was in need of an update and should have been heated. We went on to stay at Ulusaba and found Lion Sands Reserve, Narina Lodge to be superior in accommodations, game drive experience, and dining.

Incrível! Inesquecível! Impossível descrever a experiência que esse lodge e todos os profissionais que trabalham proporcionam aos hóspedes. Supera e muito qualquer expectativa. É realmente um hotel cinco estrelas, com todo o cuidado e requinte que se espera. As dependências do hotel são incríveis, o staff não mede esforços para tornar a sua estadia em uma experiência inesquecível. A comida é deliciosa, o safari incrível. Impossível não se sentir especial nesse lugar. Recomendo mil vezes!

They took our last stop of our honeymoon and made it SPECTACULAR. They added little surprise perks that created unbelievable memories. If you are a couple looking for an amazing classic honeymoon experience with some unique twists - this is the place!

The tinga lodge at lion sands look as if you took it out of an architectural digest magazine. the hotel is beautiful, the food was amazingly good, so creatively presented and its nice that the menu has various options so you will definitely find something you like. The rooms are very big, pretty and comfortable. The mini bar was included as well as all drinks, and they make sure you always have food or drinks with you. Our ranger and tracker were very very good. Our ranger Joe explained everything, it was very informative, we learned a lot. This is definitely a plus in this hotel. We went to another safari were the ranger did not explain much and it does make a huge difference. We got to see the big 5 many times, we got pretty close to the animals. It was a great experience. I would recommend this hotel for a honeymoon.

Lion sands was probably the most beautiful stay and moreover experience i ever had. Not only did we see tons of wildlife, the staff and guide + tracker team were out of this world, charming and caring, kind and fun, doing everything to make our stay the most agreeable. We felt like we were with family and truly believe this is an experience like no other. It's a must do and see, one to hold and cherish. Thank you for making it all so perfect and surprising us along the way with your kindness and attentions.

We stayed at the Lion Sands Tinga Lodge and the stAff could not have been friendlier or accommodating. Frankly, our expectations were exceeded. Our ranger and game spotter were exceptional, very knowledgeable and able to find the prize game. My wife and I highly recommend this lodge.

Unglaublich fähiges und freundliches Personal. Warm und herzlich, jederzeit mit Namen angesprochen und umsorgt und überrascht. Zimmer sind einfach nur perfekt. Sauber, modern, stilvoll. Aus unserem Pool konnten wir Elefanten, Büffel und Kudus beobachten. Immer wieder gern und der doch hohe Preis ist mehr als gerechtfertigt.

Una struttura molto bella nel bellissimo parco Kruger. Personale squisito, pulizia ottima, buon cibo. Le escursioni con le guide della struttura sono svolte con dedizione e attenzione al rispetto della natura

Beautiful hotel, located by the river. The few rooms make the hotel very private, and exclusive. Hotel staff was very friendly, helpful and professional. Suites are beautifully decorated, comfortable and very elegant. Food was excellent. The only negative thing was that some of the staff member were quite pushy with wanted to get tips, and it was quite frustrating at times. But only 2/3 staff members were like that. Other than that it was a very nice stay.

Way too expensive for what you get. Former employees were on strike outside the hotel yelling and screaming all day long which made it imposible to rest and take advantage of a hotel as expensive as this one. Many hotels on the surrounding areas which are cheaper, newer and better. Avoid this one if you can.
