We had an amazing weekend in April at Lion Sands Ivory Lodge. The accomodation is amazing and provides any comfort that you could ask for, one small peeve no one asked if we wanted anything particular stocked in the mini bar. The views from the room were stunning and we were privileged to see many sightings whilst relaxing on our our deck. The game drives were exhilarating, we were especially lucky in that we ended up havng our own private vehicle for all our drives, Landon and Eddy were excellent, Landon shared so much knowledge with us , we left each drive far more educated than when we began and we have been to the bush many times.We were fortunate to have big five sightings. The food is delicious and our waistlines are still bearing the proof thereof.The staff are attentive and service is what you expect in a lodge of this standing. It was a very relaxing special weekend and we look forward to returning in June.
We were very sad to hear of the passing of Nick More, the family's love of the bush and their amazing contribution to the travel industry in South Africa ensure that all visitors leave with a special respect for our country.

I cannot say enough positive things about ivory lodge.  From the moment we arrived, we were treated amazingly.  All the staff are friendly and go out of their way to make sure that you are having an enjoyable stay.  The cottages are gorgeous, definitely a five star experience.  The plunge pool is lovely and we were lucky enough to see elephants from it.  The game drives were incredible.  We saw the big five by the end of our second drive and much more besides.  Our ranger and tracker were great and I still can't believe some of their finds.  I would recommend this lodge.

We stayed at Ivory Lodge as the main stop on our honeymoon in August 2012. The settling by the river is really beautiful with a great decking area for breakfast and lunch. The a carte food in the evening could be a bit hit and miss but the meat on the bhoma was really very tasty. Our ranger Benrey was genuinely enthusiastic about what he did. The suite was beautful and we could watch the elephants bathing in the river from our own plunge pool. The free maxi-bar is also a great treeat.
