The stay
Eight oversized suites for a deeply private Sabi Sand stay
Ivory Lodge strips the safari lodge down to only eight suites, each with a private lounge, plunge pool and broad Sabie River outlook.
Who Ivory Lodge suits
Ivory Lodge suits couples who want a lodge of only eight suites, each with its own lounge and plunge pool. Current Lion Sands guidance sets the minimum age at ten, so families with younger children should look at the separate Fish Eagle Villa, which welcomes all ages.
