Tara Feindt

"At Narina Lodge... what can I say other than 'Wow.' The staff, the food, the location, the safaris -- all exceeded our expectations."

Geoff Stewart

"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."

Ian Feldman

"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!"

Nancy Shiley

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

Rebecca Morris

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.

Martin Goh

Lion Sands Narina Lodge was definitely THE BEST way to end our holiday. The property was truly beautiful and the staff were first-class. The safari experience is breathtaking. Our guide, Johann, and tracker, Isaac, were fantastic. Always friendly, pr

Kelvin Leung

"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."

Gwen Melincoff

"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."
