Tinga Legends Lodge
Tinga, Kruger Park Concessions
- Consummate luxury on the banks of the Sabie River
- Private heated plunge pools, sumptuous rooms and fabulous meals
- Large concentrations of wildlife and fascinating bush walks
Legends Lodge, in the Tinga Concession, is a burly monument to the colonial greats who founded the Kruger Park. The main lodge looks like a country club with antique and African pieces making up the décor; sturdy brick and hefty thatch sweep down to the main deck that looks over the Sabie River.
Rooms are palaces and amenities read like a five-star city hotel: air-conditioning, en-suite bathroom with a double shower, separate lounge, satellite TV and DVD player, mini bar, underfloor heating and heated towel rails. One more thing: your private deck has a heated plunge pool.
You’ve seen them gambolling in the bush, but the question is, ‘How do they taste?’ The kitchen produces some extravagant dishes that combine local ingredients with international influences – be bold, try the guinea fowl with warthog bacon and sage; or the impala and oyster sauce stir-fry.
Top this off with a wellness spa, a library, a large wine cellar and an eternity swimming pool on the main deck that almost spills into the river and you’ve got all the ingredients for a luxurious lodge.
The wildlife experience owes its success to the Sabie and Sand Rivers that run through the reserve. The riverine habitat provides good bird-watching with regular sightings of African finfoot, narina trogon, wood owl and broadbilled roller.
Predators are attracted by the large herds of grazers, which are attracted by the high sodium content in the rich soil which retains moisture and attracts rhino and elephant. So the cycle continues all the way down to the dung beetle – a fascinating little creature that you will discover on your walking safari.

narina lodge
Narina – sister of Legends in the Tinga Private Reserve – is a shy and retiring African beauty on the edge of the Sabie River. The luxury is mind-boggling with palatial suites, private heated plunge pools on decks above the river and contemporary cuisine. Thanks to the rivers the game-viewing, birding and walking safaris are excellent.

the ivory lodge
The Ivory Lodge, on the banks of the Sabie River, in the Lion Sands Private Game Reserve is a great bull of luxury and sophistication. Contemporary design, intimate atmosphere, suites you can swing an elephant in, and a culinary extravaganza all pale in significance when compared to the wildlife experience.
