Activities:- Tinga vehicles have access to the entire Kruger National Park, so you’re sure to meet all the locals, including Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Buffalo, Black and White Rhino, Cheetah, Zebra, Waterbuck, Hippo, Wildebeest, Kudu, Crocodile and an assortment of birds and reptiles.

Tinga vehicles also have exclusive access to 5000 hectares within the Tinga concession. Off-road driving is permitted here and is done in a very controlled manner to minimize the impact on the environment. Tinga is constantly monitored by SAN Parks ecologists.

The Tinga concession is situated between the Sabie and Sand rivers. This is a premier game-viewing area, boasting the highest density of leopards in Africa. This is due to the large numbers of impala that occur in the area – 95/km2.

With water permanently available, and a lot of suitable prey species, the area is also very attractive to lions. Lions and leopards are territorial, and because Tinga is prime habitat, there is a large amount of predator activity.

Tinga is also privileged to have frequent sightings of endangered species such as black rhino and wild dog. With total world populations of less than 3000 each, this is certainly something special.

Birdlife is very prolific in the area, with over 300 species being recorded, including numerous specials, making it a birdwatching paradise. The array of interesting fauna and flora enhance every game drive and walk

Safari outings offer a Unique Eco-Experience and include:

• Morning and evening safari drives in open vehicles
• Guided bush walks
• Big Five tracking
• Bird watching

At least 85 % of guests get to see all of the Big Five on a two-night stay.
