2 Bedroom River Suite
Walkways lead off to a spa, gym and pool, and back to the main lodge, where the deck’s connected water features give the impression of floating on the river.
This suite, with two bedrooms and an en-suite between them, is ideal for a family or friends. Both bedrooms can be configured as double or twin and when laid out for children, with amenities, games and toys just for them, is like home – only better! You’ll also have a pool and viewing deck all to your own.

Walkways lead off to a spa, gym and pool, and back to the main lodge, where the deck’s connected water features give the impression of floating on the river.
The 3 River Suites are the most spacious and private, set further away from the main lodge and each with its own deck and plunge pool making the most of the view. Step inside to a large bedroom leading on to a full en-suite leading out again to an open-air shower – you are never far from nature here.
Superior Luxury Room
Walkways lead off to a spa, gym and pool, and back to the main lodge, where the deck’s connected water features give the impression of floating on the river.
Our 6 Superior Luxury Rooms are larger in size, and have ample open-plan bathrooms and outdoor showers. 4 of the 6 Suites are inter-leading, and are therefore ideal for families.
Luxury Room
Walkways lead off to a spa, gym and pool, and back to the main lodge, where the deck’s connected water features give the impression of floating on the river.
Each light and spacious room has a canopied king-sized bed (convertible to twin), dressing table, minibar, air conditioning, ceiling fan, and a full en-suite with a range of deluxe amenities – and because views of the river and bush cannot be wasted, we built a private deck beyond its fold-back glass doors.
Suite
Nature on your doorstep.
For the nostalgic, Tinga Lodge opens onto river frontage with a camp-style look reminiscent of the ‘Out of Africa’ era.
Each of the lodge’s nine Suites is a sophisticated waterside haven, capturing the nostalgia of the pioneer days, while providing considerable more comfort.
In each Suite you’ll find a king-sized bed, (with mosquito netting), air conditioning, Wi-Fi access, private lounge, and sumptuous bath and shower. The Tinga experience is a personal and private one for those looking for a true African escape.
Stepping out through your Suite’s glass sliding doors, your deck is for pool lounger safaris, dining experiences set up just for you, and al fresco showers under the stars. Indulge in the spoils beyond your bedroom in the spa sala, at the poolside, or wherever else you choose to put your feet up.
Suite
The lodge’s nine luxury Suites are built to afford complete privacy in a wilderness where you can watch the animals come down to the water from your pool and deck, as well as bed and bath. This is where those in search of space and peace come to be in nature.
Glass sliding doors and windows open your sanctuary to the outside, while a canopy bed, sink-into-me couches, an egg bath you can wallow in up to your chin, and personal bar all add to the delight of being on safari – in style. Adding to your sense of escape, spa treatments are offered in the open-air bush sala. For therapy of a different kind, browse the MORE Gallery and its boutique.
Our Narina Suites perch on stilts among 100-year-old trees just up from the water, and link to a spa sala and intimate lodge via elevated walkways.
1 Bedroom Villa
Ivory Lodge is a clean-lined masterpiece. Just eight low-slung Villas of glass, wood and concrete meld into the riverscape.
Your private lounge, patio, deck and pool invite easy relaxation. Here, everything is included – from your champagne of choice stocked in the maxi-bar, to your favourite shirt, washed and pressed – creating a highly-personalised experience of a safari, your way.
