For Tingana Global Travel, travel is more than visiting new places - it’s about creating moments that connect people, cultures, and landscapes in ways that last a lifetime. As a proudly South African brand with a growing global footprint, Tingana has built a reputation for pairing world-class hospitality with an unwavering commitment to authentic, responsible tourism.
A Collection with Character
The Tingana Collection offers guests unparalleled access to some of the most sought-after locations along the borders of the Kruger National Park. Each property has its own personality, yet they share the same hallmarks: breathtaking views, immersive wildlife experiences, and a sense of place that honours their surroundings.
Buckler’s Africa Lodge by Tingana: A rustic, five-star retreat set along the Crocodile River, with 17 individually styled rooms that balance comfort with the raw beauty of the bush. Guests often enjoy uninterrupted wildlife viewing from the comfort of the deck.
Leopard Sands by Marriott Bonvoy: A stylish safari escape where 18 private villas with plunge pools overlook the Sabi River. The lodge blends contemporary elegance with the thrill of being on the doorstep of the Kruger.
Xidulu by Elephant Point: A four-bedroom architectural gem that offers exclusive-use privacy without compromising on luxury or proximity to nature.
These lodges are more than accommodation - they are the foundation for Tingana’s bigger mission: showcasing Southern Africa’s richness through curated partnerships and exceptional guest experiences.
Building Bridges, Not Walls
Tingana’s approach is built on collaboration. The company works alongside other hoteliers, tour operators, and experience providers, curating journeys that connect travellers to Southern Africa’s most remarkable destinations. Whether it’s a conservation-led safari, immersive tours, or a multi-country cultural itinerary, Tingana weaves it together seamlessly.
“Our aim is not to compete but to collaborate,” explains Director of Global Sales & Marketing, Sadiq Dindar. “We want to position Southern Africa as a global leader in immersive and meaningful travel experiences.”
The Visionary Behind the Brand
Sadiq brings more than three decades of experience in aviation, tourism, and destination marketing to Tingana Global Travel. Having worked extensively with international markets, he understands how to bridge the gap between local offerings and global expectations.

Known for his ability to open doors in new markets, Sadiq has been instrumental in expanding Tingana’s reach to regions such as North Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. His strong relationships with industry leaders, coupled with his passion for showcasing Southern Africa’s cultural and natural heritage, make him a driving force in the company’s vision for sustainable growth.
Travel with Purpose
Tingana is equally passionate about giving back. As a SATSA member, the company champions community engagement, cultural preservation, and environmental stewardship. Guests are encouraged to connect meaningfully with local communities and contribute to initiatives that protect the region’s heritage.
Whether it’s a Fully Inclusive Tour (FIT) for independent travellers, a Fully Escorted Tour (FET) for those seeking guided exploration, or Group Travel for incentives and special occasions, each itinerary is tailored to exceed expectations. From private aviation charters to bespoke conservation activities, every detail is handled with precision and care.
A Legacy in the Making
Tingana Global Travel is not just selling itineraries - it is crafting legacies. Each journey is designed to inspire, transform, and leave a lasting imprint on both traveller and host. For those ready to experience Southern Africa in its most authentic and elevated form, Tingana offers not just a trip, but a story worth telling.
