Overview of Lion Sands Narina Lodge

Lion Sands Narina Lodge is an African safari lodge in the prime game-viewing location of the Tinga Concession within the famous Kruger National Park. Creating a distinctly African feel with thatched wooden rooms set on stilts overlooking the Sabie River among century-old fig trees, the lodge offers a luxurious safari in a prime wildlife-viewing destination.

Set off for exciting game walks and drives to experience sightings of the Big 5 and smaller game such as bushbuck, kudu and even monkeys. Game viewing can even be enjoyed from the large river deck at the lodge or from the privacy of your own private plunge pool.

      At Narina Lodge… what can I say other than ‘Wow.’ The staff, the food, the location, the safaris — all exceeded our expectations.

      Narina Lodge surpassed all our expectations, the place is just fantastic and the staff are all really lovely and friendly people. We had the best guide and tracker – they went the extra mile to ensure we had the best safari experience ever.

      By far the highlight of my trip. Great staff, excellent accommodation, amazing game drives! And YES, we did get to see the BIG 5 many times over!

      Narina was an exceptional lodge and we would go back “in a heartbeat”. The staff at Narina were so impressive and the meals were outstanding! Every night there was a special event, whether it was dinner in the Boma, a romantic dinner in our room, etc.

      The tree house experience was a fun evening! Dinner on the deck overlooking the river and some hippos in the distance added to the fun.

      Our guide, Joe, and tracker, Jabulani, made the safari an experience of a lifetime. They made the difference in creating the best safari we could ever imagine.

      So the room at Lion Sands was insane… not even the treehouse… but the room that we had as a backup room for the night. Probably the best room we’ve ever had, and we didn’t even get to sleep in it 🙂 Lion Sands is definitely a top class place. We were driven to the treehouse and it completely blew our minds. Completely! It was stunning. We watched the sun go down, drank bubbles, and had a nice dinner. We couldn’t have picked a better night… it was a full moon. Everything was lit up all night from the full moon. We saw bushbok’s all over and heard leopards nearby. The bushboks were barking so we knew the leopards were close. Unfortunately I think I fell asleep too quickly. We were back in the element of sleeping outside (like the tents) and it was incredible. I woke up a few times to see where the moon had adjusted to in the sky. Finally it was sunrise which was beautiful.

      We can say without hesitation that our experience at Narina was simply first rate. The next time we come to Africa, we would very much like to have a few more days on safari as well as spend at least a few more days in Seychelles.

      Tinga Narina was fabulous – we saw the big 5 the first day. The staff were great – food was delicious – only small complaint was that there were issues with water a few times to our room – nothing that we could not live with.
