There are no words to describe our experience at this lodge. From the moment that we were picked up at Skukuza Airport by Gus, we immediately felt welcome. On our drive from the airport to the lodge, we already began seeing animals. Ty warmly welcomed us, and introduced us to the amazing staff. We were given lemon-grass scented hand towels. Our room was stunning and contained a private pool, outdoor shower, sitting area, and more. After a delicious lunch served by the amazing Solley, we were taken on our first official game drive by Gus and our tracker, Tony. They could not have been more knowledgeable and hospitable. Three days of complete tranquility and bliss. We watched endless animals make their way to the Sabie River as we plunged in our pool. Herds of elephants, a giant African buffalo, giraffes, zebra, and more appeared right on the river. The staff surprised us with an amazing boma dinner, where we watched a performance by the staff followed by an exquisite meal featuring local Africa cuisine. The food was second to none. We got zero mosquito bites and there were almost no bugs! It was heavenly. Besender walked us to our rooms every night, and could not have been more friendly. He constantly repeated how much he loved his job. The staff all seemed so happy to be there, and their happiness was so obvious. I’m pretty sure we will go the rest of our lives and not be able to replicate this experience, unless we are lucky enough to return to the Ivory Lodge. This is truly a once in a lifetime destination!
