Lion Sands Private Game Reserve in the Sabi Sand
Ivory Lodge
The Lodge has been built on the banks of the Sabie River with magnificent views, extending onto the open sand banks of the Kruger National Park. The Lodge faces due south and is approximately 100 meters upstream of River Lodge. The entrance area is separate from the main lodge in order to ensure that guests arriving and departing have no impact on other overnight guests.
The main and entrance area comprise a private lounge, wooden viewing decks, board room, wine cellar, health spa, curio shop & both an indoor and open-air (Boma) dining area.
Ivory Lodge is about African Euro elegance, sophistication yet simplicity, boldness yet balance, ebony & ivory, perfect harmony, exclusivity, sensitivity & complete privacy.
There are 6 ultra-luxurious suites. Each one at least 30 metres away from its nearest neighbour for absolute privacy. Each one offering an en-suite bathroom with an indoor out door shower.
The suites feature both air-conditioning and ceiling fans so guests have the option of how they would like to cool the interior of their suite against the heat of the african day. The suites also each have their own courtyard, lounge with fireplace, wooden viewing deck, patio & private plunge pool. The pools are lit so taking a swim in the warm summer evenings is a must! All rooms have telephone and Internet access.
The suites are 165m² in size and are positioned at least 20 meters apart, being linked to all areas by raised wooden walkways. They all have breathtaking views over the Sabie River, a setting where game viewing can be done from the luxury of one's private suite - Africa's finest bedrooms!
The lounge is equipped with a full size fridge stocked with fresh fruits, yoghurts, chocolates and savoury snacks, tea and coffee making facilities, a service hatch to enhance privacy, internet points and a large open wooden fireplace. The large sliding doors open up onto your viewing deck, which has a spotting scope to assist with getting close to the abundance of game that drinks from the Sabie River in front of the suite.
