Ivory Lodge

The beauty of this camp is that it combines luxurious and private accommodation with old world hospitality. The lodge overlooks an ancient riverbed, in today's terms called a ‘vlei’ and the waterhole in this vlei is known to attract a variety of wildlife and bird life. The most commonly viewed animal species range from big cat carnivores to plains game to herds of buffalo and elephant, sometimes up to 500 strong.

The lodge is often visited by the famous Presidential Herd where they come to find refuge from the scorching heat.
