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.

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. ##### Robert ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Nov 22, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Employees on strike 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. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wadsyman, Los Angeles Jun 21, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lions Sands Tinga Lodge - Exceptional 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. ##### Wadsyman ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Nov 25, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### excellent il n'y avais pas un fauteuil pendant notre sejour... ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### daniela , düsseldorf Nov 8, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wahnsinn - einer der tollsten Plätze 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. ##### daniela ### 10/10 Excellent #### DMLoria, Manhattan, New York, NY, USA May 27, 2013 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A luxurious magical place in Wild Africa Amazing experience from the first minute you get picked up from the airport to when you leave. Everyone was very attentive, friendly and accommodating. You're greeted by the manager and the whole staff. The great hall is tastefully decorated and has a view of the river bank. At anytime of the day you'll see animals visiting the area feeding on the vegetation. The food is excellent, fresh and delicious. The morning and afternoon safari drives were exciting and fun. Morning drives are capped off by coffee, tea and treats. Afternoon drives are rewarded by drinks and snacks at sunset. We saw lots of animals and the ranger and tracker guides were very informative on animal habits and survival tactics. The whole time we felt very pampered. Each day was so unique and wonderful that we were sorry to leave Narina, Tinga. Definitely would recommend this place to our friends and family as well as visiting again. ##### DMLoria ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pablo, Honduras Apr 19, 2013 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Would love to come back! Tinga was incredible. I haven't seen much of kruger but I have been too other safaris around south africa and kenya, and I would definitely say Tinga is amazing. Its worth taking a look at it. We really enjoyed our beautiful rooms, and the whole service from the hotel was amazing.. Everynight we had dinner at different spots through out the hotel, which made it really unique from other luxury hotels. Our guide (Dave) and our tracker were definitely one of the best ones you could have. We saw many animals, and apart from that we had many many laughs, and great memories which we will never forget, or stop sharing. They made it stand out!! Plus the views from the Sabi River are un believable. ##### Pablo ### 10/10 Excellent #### Manny, New Albany, OH Jan 8, 2010 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Awesome Experience! I have travelled all over the world and the quality of Tinga Legends Lodge, from the food, to the service, to the facilities, to the game drives, is absolutely first class. ##### Manny ### 10/10 Excellent #### Suzanne Feb 1, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Suzanne Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Apr 26, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Old Port of Marseille](https://www.expedia.ca/Old-Port-Of-Marseille-Marseille-Hotels.0-n6223533-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Holiday House Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Holiday-House-Palm-Springs.h17384384.Hotel-Information) > > [B&B Bloomfield](https://www.expedia.ca/Bloomfield-Bed-And-Breakfast.d177471-aaBedAndBreakfast.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Grafton](https://www.expedia.ca/Grafton-Hotels.d6288881.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Condo Rentals Hollywood](https://www.expedia.ca/Hollywood-Condos.d6076-aaCondos.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [The Jewel Hotel, New York](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-The-Jewel.h3928653.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Bowen Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Bowen-Island-Hotels.d6155860.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Homewood Suites By Hilton Orlando-Nearest Universal Studios](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Homewood-Suites-By-Hilton-Orlando-Nearest-Universal-Studios.h910318.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Horizons Garden Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Georges-Hotels-Blue-Horizons-Garden-Resort.h173812.Hotel-Information) > > [Blackstone Mountain Lodge by CLIQUE](https://www.expedia.ca/Canmore-Hotels-Blackstone-Mountain-Lodge-By-CLIQUE.h2238263.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Antananarivo (TNR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/tnr/montreal-to-antananarivo) > > [Flights from Mexico City (MEX) to Sao Paulo (GRU)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mex/gru/mexico-city-to-sao-paulo) > > [Flights from Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) to Montreal (YUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/sgn/yul/ho-chi-minh-city-to-montreal) > > [flights from chilliwack airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/ycw/flights-from-chilliwack-airport) > > [Flights from Hamilton (YHM) to Salt Lake City (SLC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhm/slc/hamilton-to-salt-lake-city) > > [Flights from Zürich (ZRH) to Rome (FCO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/zrh/fco/zurich-to-rome) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Sant Josep de sa Talaia (IBZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/ibz/montreal-to-ibiza) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Baton Rouge (BTR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/btr/vancouver-to-baton-rouge) > > [flights from chippewa county intl airport](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/airports/ciu/flights-from-chippewa-county-intl-airport) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Johannesburg (JNB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/jnb/vancouver-to-johannesburg) > > [Flights from YMQ-All Airports to Vancouver Intl.](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ymq/yvr/montreal-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Frankfurt (FRA) to Dubai (DXB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/fra/dxb/frankfurt-to-dubai) ### Cars ### Activities ### Packages > [Portland Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Portland.d178299.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General
