Tengile River Lodge
Sabi Sand Game Reserve
Boasting a name that means tranquil, Tengile River Lodge features nine secluded suites, nestled in the dappled shade of the cool riverine forest, each with soothing river outlooks. Space is taken to an unprecedented level in these guest suites. In addition to a master bedroom, bathroom and outdoor shower, there is a lounge, dining area, and bar, together with a private deck, swimming pool, and outdoor seating and dining area. The guest area offers a mixed selection of open, interactive, and private spaces. The design of this common area ensures a seamless indoor-outdoor flow, with the viewing deck a highlight point. The massage and gym area offers you yet another haven of well-being and tranquility. Strict vehicle limits at game sightings ensure the exclusivity of the wildlife experiences. With twice daily game drives, interpretive bush walks and birdwatching, together with the river outlooks from all guest suites, and that of the extensive viewing deck, you are guaranteed a feast of undiluted and unforgettable wild-magic moments. With no boundary fences between the Sabi Sand and Kruger National Park, this reserve benefits from the great….
diversity of animals found in one of the richest wildlife areas on the African continent, along with the additional benefits experienced on a private game reserve. Game drives traverse an area of 26,000 acres and strict vehicle limits at sightings ensure the exclusivity of the game viewing experience. Sensitive off-road driving ensures that guests have the best possible view of any exceptional sighting and rangers are constantly in touch with each other to keep track of animal movements. The Sabi Sand Game Reserve is famed for its intimate wildlife encounters, particularly leopard viewing. Home to a host of animals, including the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino), Sabi Sand is part of a conservation area that covers over five million acres, an area equivalent to the state of New Jersey.
