Location & Setting

Narina rests above the Sabie River on a private concession in southern Kruger National Park. Elevated walkways weave through riverine forest of jackalberry and mahogany, with elephants and antelope frequenting the water below. The unfenced setting allows wildlife to roam naturally, delivering superb year-round sightings just a scenic transfer from Skukuza.

Rooms

Nine contemporary suites are raised on stilts for privacy and views, each featuring a generous deck with a private plunge pool, indoor lounge, air-conditioning, and an elegant bathroom with indoor and outdoor showers plus a deep soaking tub oriented to the river. Natural textures, soft linens, and floor-to-ceiling glass create a calm, light-filled sanctuary between game drives.

Facilities

The main lodge includes a lounge, bar, dining areas, and expansive viewing decks positioned over the Sabie River, complemented by a boma for starlit dinners. A tranquil spa and compact gym support wellness between activities, while the riverside pool and small library invite unhurried downtime. Service is warm, polished, and highly personalized.
