At Tinga Legends Lodge, it's the little details that count just as much as the big ones. On the daily early morning and late afternoon game drives, for example, your guide and tracker will facilitate thrilling interactions with the Big 5 and larger game and wildlife. But there is also the can't-miss opportunity to experience a guided bush walk during which, with their expert knowledge, your guides will also instill in you an appreciation for the smaller animals, birds and vegetation that make this region of Southern Africa so extraordinary.

A highlight of Tinga Legends' walking safari is a visit to the hippo pools on the Sabie River as well as explorations of several sites of historical and archaeological significance. Another thing to commend Tinga Legends, as those in the know will tell you, is that the Sabie area is known for its high incidence of leopard sightings - the most elusive animal in the Big 5.

While the antics in the bush are sure to set your pulse racing, the lodge itself will take your breath away: from the thatched 'cathedral-like' entrance leading to the lounge, library, wine cellar and bar with their colonial-chic design details to the open-air boma (a traditional outside eating area) and magnificent suites, each with its own private viewing deck complete with plunge pool and overlooking the Sabie River.

The main event, however, has got to the enormous viewing deck that forms part of the central lodge. Built around a massive 200-year old Jackalberry tree, it's a place to swap bush stories with fellow guests while enjoying a glass of superb South African wine. Food is a contemporary fusion of global cuisine anchored by the lively flavours of Africa.

For an intimate interaction with the Kruger Park's fascinating ecology combined with sophisticated accommodation, deluxe facilities and superb cuisine, Tinga Legends will live up to your dreams -big and small.
