Tingala Lodge is situated on the Silonque Game Reserve in Phalaborwa, adjacent to the Kruger National Park. It features a patio over looking a swimming pool and the savannah. Each luxury suite is decorated in earthy tones and opens onto a patio that overlooks the bush. It comes equipped with air-conditioning, tea-and-coffee-making facilities and some of the beds are draped in mosquito nets. Breakfast at Tingala is served on the shady patio, and guests enjoy the evenings around a log fire under the stars. WiFi is available in some of the rooms and in the living area of the main lodge. Activities available include game drives and bush walks in the Kruger Park. The Phalaborwa Airport is an 18-minute drive away and the Hoedspruit Airport is 80 km from the property.

    We found the atmosphere at Tingala very relaxed, informal and quiet. With only a handful of rooms at the lodge, there were very few other guests around even though the lodge was fully booked. The pool was lovely and positioned discretely around...
