Yes this place is expensive, but it’s also very exclusive, incredible, and spectacular!!!! In every way. Our suite was unbelievable! Like a dream. The... More

My husband and were originally supposed to stay at the Lion Sands River Lodge (which was fabulous!) but we got upgraded to the Ivory Lodge for our last two nights. The staff were so accomodating and the food was magnificent. This lodge caters a lot to honeymooners and couples who prefer a lot of privacy. The private plunge pool was... More

This property is magical from the moment you enter. Animals wander by on the drive in. Walter greets you dancing at the gate. Food wonderful, ambiance spectacular. the guides have a great knowledge level, and infuse FUN while keeping you SAFE and finding the Big Five. Sundowners are fabulous too......simply perfect.

I agonized over the decision of which safari lodge to book - I read all the reviews on TripAdvisor, I pored over the web sites, I spoke with travel agents and in the end booked the Lion Sands Ivory Lodge and could not have been happier with our stay there. I don't see how any other lodge in South Africa... More

Ivory lodge was our third trip to Sabi Sand in the last 2 years and we've enjoyed each lodge, but Ivory lodge definitely stands above the others! Absolutely beautiful, spacious suites and a professional staff to round out the experience. From the moment we arrived, each staff member knew us by name. Lorraine, the chef, is wonderful and we never... More

We had very high expectations before we got there because of the tripadvisor reviews, these expectations were exceeded. This is an incredible experience and won't be forgotten. Service is so good you feel like the employees are family. Big shout out to Enock, Sam and Aubrey.

My husband and had a wonderful stay at Lion Sands Ivory Lodge on our honeymoon. The villa was gorgeous, the food was delicious, and the service was incredible! The receptionist was a lifesaver when I realized I'd left a bag at the airport. She contacted the airport, had the bag located, and then checked in each day to make sure... More

At Ivory Lodge everything is beautiful and very well organized. The really care about your happiness and comfort. The suites are very large and luxurious, the restaurant-terrace is really charming, especially when they organize the dinner with the bonfire. Our ranger Jono and tracker Backy were very experienced and absolutely willing to make the best experience for us.

The rooms were so spacious and decorated beautifully. The staff at the Ivory Lodge went well beyon anything we could have imagines. The game... More
