The understated jewel in the Lion Sands crown. Hospitality is designed entirely around YOU.
We took our cue from Mother Nature to build a lodge ‘of the earth’, using natural materials that complement the surrounding bush environment and an open design that draws your attention outside. Décor is rich yet minimal, lighting is ambient, and African design accents subtly pick up on the African Safari theme.

Ivory Lodge impresses with natural and simple beauty, enhanced only by breathtaking river scenes.

Suite

Your private lounge, patio, deck and pool invite easy relaxation. Here, everything is included – from your champagne of choice stocked in the maxibar, to your favourite shirt, washed and pressed – creating a highly-personalised experience of a safari, your way.

Food & Wine

Dining at Ivory can turn into an exploration, with a table laid out wherever you wish, and dishes and wines introducing you to new flavours. We also have a dedicated kosher kitchen and offer two costed options, either full supervision by a Mashgiach or self-supervision with additional cooking equipment and utensils provided.

MORE Gallery

Nothing immortalises a moment quite like art does. Our MORE Gallery’s original paintings, sketches and photographs, as well as high-end accessories, clothing and mementos mean that you can take a little something of your Ivory Lodge safari home with you.

Kingston treehouse

Built just off a rocky outcrop, Kingston is your own private palace looking over the wilderness, its stillness punctuated only by rustling leaves and animal calls… Savour this experience in luxury, with a picnic dinner, feather beds, and your own private shower with a view.

Safari coffee stop

Between the action, this is a pause to simply appreciate being in the bush and in the moment as the animals begin to stir. An exciting morning breaks for coffee – with sneaky tots of Amarula Cream liqueur, if you like – and freshly-baked treats.
