Tinga Lodge

Safari and Wildlife Lodge
Zakouma, Chad

An old government-style lodge of some 50 years ago overlooking the Rosse River. It is a pretty spot although none of the rooms looks out directly to the river.

Most rooms have recently been renovated and upgraded.

All are en suite and can be arranged as double or twin rooms. Being thatched and round, these rooms are cool as the temperature can reach almost 40 degrees Celsius in the peak season.

All have 24 hours of electricity with plug sockets in the rooms.

Why we like Tinga Lodge

Camp Nomade is widely considered Zakouma’s most luxurious option; however, we would disagree. What Tinga lacks in style, it makes up for in cooler rooms, electricity and convenience. Furthermore, whilst Camp Nomade is designed for groups of six or more, Tinga can be booked on a per-room basis.

Where to stay

Some of the wonderful places to stay that we frequently recommended.

Camp Nomade £££££

Chad
Tented Camps

This nomadic camp stays in a superb position in Rigueik for as long as possible, moving only when the seasons make this difficult. The camp then follows the game for the best viewing opportunities. Nomadic in style and function but beautifully decorated with Chadian flair. In short, it is luxurious simplicity personified. The attention to detail is exquisite. There is a maximum of eight tents, each of which has a large mosquito net with a canvas roof for shade, providing a 360° view of the wilds. Water in a flask. The shower and loo are set ten paces behind the tent, privacy provided by straw matting. Bucket shower. At night the tents and camp look wonderfully atmospheric as they are lit by lanterns.
