Останавливались на 1 ночь, все очень понравилось, дружелюбный персонал, очень красивая территория с видом на реку, было видно слонов и жирафов приходящих на водопой, на территорию заходили антилопы. Так же было 2 сафари, утром и вечером. Из того что можно улучшить это кухня, не все блюда понравились

Our stay at Ivory Wilderness was an experience we will forever treasure. From the moment we arrived we were treated to exceptional service by all the staff who went out of their way to ensure our trip surpassed our expectations. The accommodation was luxurious and very well maintained; the food provided by the resident chef was varied, delicious and beautifully presented; and the guide who took us into the bush was experienced, knowledgeable and entertaining. We couldn't have asked for more. So thank you to everyone at Ivory Wilderness Lodge-we had an amazing, unforgettable time with you all. We will return.

If you're looking for calmness, wildlife, generosity and want to be amazed everyday... experiment the Ivory Wilderness adventure!

This is a great value for money lodge that provides decent accommodation and lovely food at a reasonable price. Perfect for first timers or honeymoon couples to experience the bush. You are never guaranteed to see everything you want to but the guides will do everything they can for you and we certainly saw the big 5 and lots of other species and birds. We were fortunate to be guided by Craig Howson who was raised in the area and considered Klaserie royalty! I've been coming to the Kruger area for the last 20 years and Craig is probably one of the most unique and definitely the most eccentric guide I've ever met! but one thing that stands out is his genuine love for every living thing in the bush. We really enjoyed his style and he made our drives both interesting and entertaining. All the staff at the lodge were very obliging and friendly and never stopped working to try and make our stay special.

Over the years we have been to various safari lodges including some very high end but this was the best experience we have ever had. The lodge and the rondavels are simple but extremely comfortable, we slept so well, the bed and the linen were excellent. Andrew and Sephiwe looked after us so well with regular offers of drinks on the decking and great service at meal times. The food was excellent, the pork chop in an agrodolce sauce, the ostrich in a hollandaise sauce and the light and fluffy buttermilk pancakes were highlights. Then of course there were the game drives - superb, yes we saw wild dogs, leopards, lions, elephants, buffalo but so much more than this. Warren and Corie’s enthusiasm for and knowledge of the flora and fauna made this a truly memorable experience, thank you guys so much.

I can only warmly recommend this lodge! The staff were absolutely fantastic - really, really nice and accommodating. Everyone made the stay very special. It was as if you were staying with friends and everyone personally made sure that you felt completely at ease. The location of the lodge is simply amazing! It is in a beautiful, peaceful setting, ideal for relaxing and enjoying nature. Away from the hustle and bustle, but still perfectly situated for exploring the surrounding wildlife and landscape. The guides were extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what they do - with their knowledge and experience they made every safari an unforgettable experience. It was fascinating to listen to their explanations and see the animals up close. The safaris were the absolute highlight! Great excursions with fantastic wildlife sightings. Every moment was exciting and the guides made sure that no question went unanswered. All in all, an absolute insider tip! This lodge not only offers excellent accommodation, but also unforgettable experiences that you won't soon find again. If you're looking for a special and authentic experience, you've come to the right place!

Our stay was amazing and, in particular, due to Wienand who was an incredible guide. My wife and I are passionnated by Mother Nature: we are both agricultural engineers and my wife is also an entomologist: nevertheless, we learnt plenty of good things with Wienand who is very well documented and objective. The lodge was perfect as well: very nice location and very quiet making it a place to come back to. Very well maintained all over its different sections. Food was also nice and the staff very polite. So, a 100% successful experience. Thanks again to Wienand and his wife to take care of us.

I cannot say enough good things about Ivory Wilderness! Every single part went above and beyond my expectations!! The grounds are extremely well kept and gorgeous! It was so nice to look out by the river and watch animals right from camp! The hospitality was above and beyond every single day! Prudence and Andrew made sure we had everything we needed and were always so kind! The chef cooked amazing food, we never went hungry, there was always something delicious waiting for us! The game drives were so surreal, Ian did a phenomenal job of showing us everything the area had to offer and was constantly explaining the animals and their mannerisms while also always being respectful of their habitat! I would recommend Ivory Wilderness to everyone and anyone! We hope to be back someday!
