Overview

Strategically placed on the bend of the Sand River in the most exclusive quadrant of South Africa’s Sabi Sand region with sweeping water-rich views from every area, there are nine enormous, stilted hideaways, combining design with traditional safari elements that blend seamlessly with the landscape.

Here there is an evident awareness of an accord between modernity and primal African aesthetics.

Activities

Safari Game Drives

Our guides read the bush in real time. Tracks in the sand, alarm calls from the trees, birds gathering to circle above a kill. Every detail adds context to the story unfolding around you. Game drives are conducted twice a day (early morning, and late afternoon/ evening) in open 4-wheel drive safari vehicles. The 4-wheel drive safari vehicles enable the rangers to leave the road and provide guests with close up game viewing and fantastic photographic opportunities.

Walking Safari

We offer tailored adventures on foot, in the company of your guide who applies strict rules to ensure your comfort and safety.Weather-dependent, walks are conducted during the winter months when visibility is enhanced. It’s also more pleasant to move through dry bushveld, as you learn how to track and experience close encounters with smaller game without them being aware of your presence.There are so many small and fascinating treasures to be found and studied when you are closer to the ground than inside a vehicle. Many tiny creatures and plants that go unseen during drives are waiting to be discovered on the soil and grasses.

Wellness Treatments

At Tengile, relaxing treatments are available in-room or in the tranquil spa. We have partnered with a leading holistic spa and skincare company, so you can enjoy an authentic, natural African experience. Expect pure indulgence, to emerge refreshed and wholly restored.
