Lion Sands Ivory Lodge, awarded by Tatler Magazine as Best Hotel in the World, is ultra luxurious yet simple and uncluttered, the interiors achieving a contemporary, Afro- European elegance. The Lodge is about overriding exclusivity with complete privacy where each suite is operated as a private villa. Private dining, in-suite spa treatments and complete relaxation is the norm. Neither word nor photograph can capture the sense of the pure beauty which is breathed in when opening the carved wooden doors leading into this private recluse – arguably the world’s finest suite.

Lion Sands River Lodge, which is downstream of Ivory Lodge, is nestled under a canopy of ancient trees dating back almost 800 years. The Lodge is about spirit, warmth, nature, relaxation and is hosted by a family of staff that will make it feel like home away from home. Relax, enjoy and get to experience genuine African hospitality at its best.
