Ivory Tree Game Lodge

We had an amazing time at the lodge. Excellent facilities, amazing & friendly staff. The Safari arrangements were very safe, secure and perfect. We even enjoyed a Kids’ friendly safari. The food was provided timely and they always had vegetarian options for us. Overall - highly recommend.

This was a wonderful lodge! Came back for the second time and loved it! The food is great! Service fantastic! We saw lots of animals! The guide we had was just super!!!!

We were there for 3 nights and there were safari drives morning and late afternoon/evening......wonderful experience and lucky to see 4 of the big five. Breakfast & Evening dinner had a good selection and was very good. Rooms were clean & bed very comfy. The pool is on the small side but totally adequate. We're glad we chose this hotel as it is further in, on the National Park.

Whilst South Africa may not get the praise for safaris that other African countries may get don’t discount the Ivory Tree Lodge, just a 2.75 hours drive from Johannesburg which offers unparalleled game drives, stunning accommodations and food, all matched with exemplary levels of service. We enjoyed a five night stay here inclusive of daily game drives. It can be a bit of a ‘workout’ if you want to exploit all the drives which are often 3.5hrs per drive and operate twice daily. The first drive leaves before sunrise at 5.30am and the second leaves at 4.30pm. You may enjoy both, one or none depending on your preferred itinerary. We thoroughly enjoyed our two drives each day undertaken by our driver, Gold. Gold has incredible knowledge of the park, animals, flora & fauna and educates you in an informative and fun way. We saw all the BIG 5 during our stay along with hundreds more! Special appreciation go out to all the hotel team for genuine levels of exemplary hospitality, particularly Rosemary who was instrumental in organizing my partners big birthday during our stay along with Aaron, Joyce & Emma in catering to our exact needs. The accommodation is of a high standard with all creature comforts accounted for. The food offered from breakfast to dinner was excellent. We look forward to our return visit.

Every time I visit this place something else has improved beyond my expectation. Staff are super friendly and helpful. Food is plated and excellent Game experience is great

The staff at Ivory Lodge are outstanding - professional and efficient but also very friendly. Our game ranger was extremely knowledgeable and clealry loved the animals - he made the experience even more enjoyable. It was a magical stay in a beautiful place.
