A place few have dreamed of, and even fewer have experienced, the inner sanctum of Lion Sands is the ultimately exclusive and luxurious getaway. Combining Afro-European elegance and exotic flair with bold, natural textures and superlative taste, Ivory Lodge is unrivalled in the world of 5 star luxury.

Your own secluded and air-conditioned ‘lodge within a lodge’, Ivory Lodge offers superior amenities that include private plunge-pools, courtyard, patio and wooden game-viewing deck. Catering for the most exotic taste, the six sumptuous suites, each 165m2, all have breathtaking views over the Sabie River. Nothing has been spared in the attainment of perfect luxury and privacy. A health spa, executive boardroom, world-class wine cellar and indoor and outdoor dining areas for the ultimate culinary delights, make Ivory Lodge a leader in its field.
Sundowners on the suite’s private deck overlooking the river complete a day of adventure and discovery. Beside a roaring fireplace or beneath the cascading stars, this is Africa’s finest: untold delights to tantalize the refined palates, undreamed of luxury and wild Africa at its most hypnotic, most rare.

To understand wildness and freedom, life needs a glimpse into something so mysterious and unpredictable that even seasoned travelers are astounded. The Safari Experience at Lion Sands has an ever-changing, magical rhythm in a world of glimmering landscapes and unparalleled wildlife. Whether learning the ancient skills of tracking the Big 5 on foot, or viewing these great creatures from your own private land rover, it is an experience that promises to thrill, to revive the spirit and enliven long-dormant senses. The resident ecologist, tracking teams and rangers have encyclopedic bush knowledge. Trained to pick up the nearest flicker of movement or telltale sign deep in the bush, they seldom miss a beat of the pounding rhythm of this great, wild heart of Africa.
Optional Activities Include: Safari game drives, bush breakfasts, hippopotamus tours, safari lunches, wildlife lectures, bush walks, bush dinners and astronomy.
