Lion Sands Tinga Lodge is a superb private safari lodge located in a private concession area inside the Kruger National Park.

Lion Sands Tinga Lodge is situated on the banks of the Sabie River, in a prime game-viewing area of the Kruger National Park. 

 

The Sabie River has the highest recorded density of leopards in Africa, and one of the highest predator densities. This river has the richest biodiversity of any South African river, with many endangered and rare species being found in this pristine area.
