Ivory Lodge is designed for total immersion in nature while ensuring comfort and privacy. The seven spacious suites, including two family suites, are built on stilts at the heart of a teak forest, each with a private balcony overlooking a waterhole heavily frequented by wildlife.

The spaces are arranged to encourage relaxation and wildlife watching, in an elegant, harmonious setting that blends natural design with colonial touches.

Each spacious tent has a king-size bed, a private bathroom with shower and separate toilet, as well as a private balcony overlooking a waterhole frequently visited by wildlife.
The decor combines colonial style with natural touches, creating a warm, refined atmosphere. Two family suites are available, ideal for travellers with children.

Day and night 4x4 safaris allow guests to observe a wide range of wildlife, including elephants, lions, leopards, African wild dogs and over 400 bird species.
Expert-guided walking safaris offer an intimate approach to the bush, ideal for nature enthusiasts. Birdwatchers will appreciate the dedicated birding sessions.
The camp also offers cultural experiences, such as visits to the Painted Dog Conservation Centre and the local village of Dete, fostering exchange with local communities.
For total immersion, nights under the stars on outdoor beds are available, offering a unique experience out in the savannah.
