Start Planning
The Lion Sands Ivory Lodge is for those in search of utter exclusivity. Just eight water-side Villas emerge from a riverscape that sees the passage of much of the reserve’s wildlife. From your bed, deck, private plunge pool, or indeed the guest spa, this is one of the best places to look upon Africa – uninterrupted.
Ivory Lodge is the understated jewel in Lion Sands' crown. Here, hospitality is designed entirely around YOU (from customized spa therapies and private dining to safaris with surprise refreshment stops). Luxury – much more than a sophisticated room in an exotic location – has substance.
The lodge’s eight one-bedroom villas, set secluded at the confluence of the Sabie and Sand Rivers, are the ultimate bush retreats. Your private lounge, patio, deck, and pool invite easy relaxation, while a dedicated team of staff is always on hand to take care of your every whim and fancy. Everything is included – from a champagne-stocked minibar to the washing and pressing of your favorite shirt – to create a highly personalized safari experience, tailored to you.
The lodge also includes the two-bedroom Fish Eagle Villa, offering the ultimate in private luxury and personalized service for a family or group of friends. Everything is included – from your own pool and spa to a personal chef, field guide, and game-viewer vehicle – for a tailor-made South African safari. You and your tribe would be hard-pressed to find a more idyllic spot to base yourselves.

Dolan was terrific
Dolan was terrific. He got back to us immediately to answer all of our questions. And was so nice to hold a room for a couple of days because of my moms passing. It gave us time to finalize her arrangements and time to book our trip. I would highly recommend using him to book your trip!!

Leigh-Ann Croeser from Safari.com was fantastic
Leigh-Ann from Safari.com was great to work with to plan our group safari trip. She was able to get me on the priority waitlist for a lodge that I liked, which ended up working out for our group during my preferred dates. Leigh-Ann was responsive and provided various tour recommendations for us to decide on the best option for us. There were a few email and name typos from Leigh-Ann that I had to correct, but other than that, I had a great experience.
