Lion Sands Ivory Lodge

Lion Sands Ivory Lodge

Sabi Sand Game Reserve


Lion Sands Ivory Lodge Location Map

Lion Sands Ivory Lodge is situated within the privately owned Lion Sands Private Game Reserve, which forms part of the southern portion of the 65,000 hectare Sabi Sand Game Reserve - an area well known for its spectacular game viewing. The reserve is built on the banks of the Sabie River, offering breathtaking views over the river where game viewing can be done from the luxury of your private suite.

Morning and afternoon game drives in open 4x4 safari vehicles, with an experienced ranger and keen-sighted tracker, take guests out into the bush to discover the magic of being on safari.

The timeless design of Lion Sands Ivory Lodge incorporates steel, wood, thatch, glass, water and sand, and the natural materials enhance the surrounding bush environment. A sophisticated mid-century architectural contemporary theme defines the interiors, with bold furniture and edgy décor, ambient lighting, inferences of tribal design and highly textured finishes - all of which combine to make this an utterly sensory experience.

The 8 ultra luxurious suites all have en-suite bathrooms and an outdoor shower in an indigenous garden, a private lounge area with a fireplace, and a private pool and expansive viewing deck as well as a covered patio.

The Double Suite Fish Eagle Villa has its own private gym and spa, as well as a private star jetty and fire deck, and comes with its own safari vehicle for a truly exclusive game drive experience.

Start TestimonialThis was a close to perfect safari experience. Both Lion Sands Ivory Lodge and the game drives were perfectly organised and the personnel really did their best to make it work. Also the timing was ideal since the weather was good and the vegetation was still low, so that the animals could be easily seen.End Testimonial
