Lion Sands Ivory Lodge is set on the banks of the Sabie River with views extending onto the open sand banks of the Kruger National Park. The lodge offers exclusive luxury combined with incredible game viewing, in a private game reserve teeming with wildlife.

Each game drive is sure to bring its own amazing sightings, and most guests see all of Africa's 'Big 5' at least once during their stay. Open Land Rovers are equipped with binoculars and bird books, and you are ever given blankets and hot water bottles to keep you warm on chilly night drives. You can also opt for a bush walk, which will help you understand more about all spheres of the eco-system, from the smallest insects to large elephant bulls.

Ivory Lodge has a health spa, and the highly trained therapists offer most of the luxurious treatments in the privacy of your suite.

For an unforgettable experience, spend a night in the Lion Sands Tree House. After a delicious champagne picnic, fall asleep on a four-poster bed above the tree line, surrounded by the sounds of the African night. This activity is offered at an additional cost.

There are six luxurious suites at Lions Sands Ivory Lodge, which are really like six separate lodges, positioned at least 20m apart along the banks of the river. Each suite consists of a large living area connected via a sun deck to a beautiful bedroom.

The bedrooms are light and airy, with glass walls making the most of the spectacular surroundings. The living area has a modern interior, and is beautifully furnished with a large, comfortable sofa facing the open fireplace. Each bathroom has an indoor shower and large, soaking bathtub, as well as an outdoor shower in the courtyard.

Between game viewing activities you can relax in your suite's private rim flow plunge pool, and take in the magnificent views over the Sabie River. The pools are lit so taking a swim in the warm summer evenings is a must.
