Gourmet Dining

A visit to Tinga is designed to stimulate all the senses. Tinga cuisine can be described as a combination of global fusion trends and the aromatic offerings of Africa.

Guinea fowl with warthog bacon and sage; fillet of ostrich marinated in rosemary, balsamic and olive oil or impala stir fry with oyster sauce: these are just a sample of the dishes our chefs offer Tinga guests. A range of more conventional, but no less delicious, options are always available at each meal. There is also a range of vegetarian dishes available on request, and provided advance notice has been given, halaal and kosher requirments can also be catered for.

The Tinga culinary experience is further enhanced by the tranquil settings in which the meals are enjoyed. Breakfast and lunch are enjoyed on the decks of the lodges, under the shade of the 200-year-old jackalberry tree. The gently flowing Sabie river and the soporific call of the emerald-spotted dove provide the perfect accompaniment to the range of delicacies prepared by the Tinga chefs.
