Our read

Sabi Sand is a reserve people book by reputation and then discover they are in the wrong camp. Ivory is specific: eight suites on the Sabie River, each with a pool and 1,561 square feet, in the south of Sabi Sand. It is not River Lodge's eighteen rooms, and it is not Tinga, which the same company's fact sheet places inside Kruger. Fish Eagle Villa is a further step, a private house for eight with its own chef. Come if the river, the pool, and a small camp are the point. Skip it if you are travelling with children who need a family lodge, or if you thought every Lion Sands camp was the same gate.

Come here for

  • Eight suites on the Sabie, each with a private pool and 1,561 square feet
  • Sabi Sand, not the Kruger concession and not the eighteen-room camp
  • Fish Eagle Villa if the trip is a private house for eight

Skip it if

  • You wanted the family camp. That is Tinga, and it is a different reserve.
  • You wanted eighteen rooms and a livelier lodge. That is River Lodge.

We’d rather send you somewhere else than send you somewhere that doesn’t suit you.

Lion Sands Ivory Lodge sits on the Sabie River in the south of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve. The lodge page counts eight suites. Each suite on that page is for two guests, with a private terrace, a private pool, a private lounge, an outdoor shower, and 1,561 square feet. The phone printed with the general manager is +27 13 735 5000. Their 2024 fact sheet gives the pin as 24°58'24.1"S, 31°31'46.5"E. Fish Eagle Villa is a separate house on the same reserve: eight guests, three bedrooms, a private chef, and a safari vehicle. Ivory is the quiet one of the Lion Sands lodges. The page calls it intimate, and it does not sell itself as the family camp. That camp is Tinga, inside Kruger, with nine suites. River Lodge, also in Sabi Sand, has eighteen rooms. If you book Ivory you are choosing eight suites on the river, not a busier camp a short drive away. The introduction does not print a per-suite nightly rate. Reserve with the hotel. MindReach does not take the booking.
