Fodor's Expert Review Lion Sands Ivory Lodge

Sabi Sand Game Reserve, Mpumalanga, South Africa Fodor's Choice

Ivory Lodge offers the ultimate in luxury, privacy, and relaxation. Suites are really more like villas, as each has its own private entrance, separate sitting room and bedroom joined by a breezeway, and superb views overlooking the Sabie River and Kruger—the spacious deck comes equipped with a telescope and a plunge pool. Suites are decorated in contemporary African-European style with wood-burning fireplaces, a butler's passageway—you'll have a personal butler—and an indoor and outdoor shower, as well as a freestanding tub. For something even more special (if possible), inquire about spending the night at the Chalkley's Treehouse. 

PROS

  • exclusivity
  • great views
  • brilliant game-viewing

CONS

  • the temptation of abundant great food—it's so decadent, you might forget to leave
