Lion Sands Ivory Lodge

With only 8 opulent villas, Lion Sands Ivory Lodge provides the perfect tranquil escape into the African wild. These water-side villas offer gorgeous views from the bedroom, private decks, and exclusive-use plunge pools. The impressive thatched main lodge with a lounge and dining area overlooks the riverbed where elephant, buffalo, and antelope often come for a drink. Organic design elements are beautifully integrated into the contemporary interior characteristic of the lodge. Bush dinners are a romantic delight under starry skies, surrounded by lanterns, crackling fires and the sounds of the wild.
