Ivory Lodge

Start Planning

If you’re looking for one of the most exclusive private game reserve experiences in South Africa, you can pretty much stop scrolling. Whether it’s your umpteenth safari or your first, Ivory Lodge is the stuff of champagne-soaked African dreams. (Minibars are out, maxibars are in!) Its eight romantic, air-conditioned villas are plotted along the banks of the Sabie River, which winds through the leopard-laden paradise that is Lion Sands. Sharp, clean lines of glass, wood, steel and concrete give the lodge a contemporary feel. As does its menu. From keto to kosher and absolutely anything in between, your wish is the chef’s command.

Stuff we love

On the banks of the Sabie River

  • Its purpose-built platforms for climbing on and off 4x4s – no more flashing your knickers or popping a hip on every game drive.
  • Unbeatable odds of seeing the Big Five – and more – all in one morning.
  • Secluded skinny dips under the stars in your private plunge pool. (Honeymooners take note.)
