Ivory Tree Game Lodge lies in the heart of the Pilanesberg Game Reserve. The reserve is set within the crater of an ancient volcano – one of the largest of a very rare formation. This ancient configuration comes hand-in-hand with various indicators of the presence of early man in the region. This is showcased through the numerous Stone and Iron Age sites that are scattered throughout the Park.

This Pilanesberg lodge offers you a variety of room options from Standard, Family, Luxury, Executive Suite an even the Pilane Villa. The Executive Suite is the perfect place for private luxury by offering a plunge pool on the private patio atop all its other fantastic offerings.

Ivory Tree Game Lodge is situated in the north eastern region of the Pilanesberg National Park, the closest point of entry is through Bakgatla Gate. Nestled in the basin of an ancient amphitheatre divided by riverine woodlands and elephant trails lies an exclusive lodge, called Ivory Tree Game Lodge.

The guest areas have been carefully planned to ensure easy flowing and comfortable areas and were designed with the view to accommodating a group or to provide intimate retreats ensuring privacy. The central areas include two lounges, the bar and cocktail lounge, a multi-tiered dining room, the conference facility, curio shop and open air boma.

The Suites areas were designed using a double volume style to ensure impressive views of the surrounding amphitheater. The large and stunning feature swimming pool has been positioned between the lodge and the nearby water hole.

The standard suites are located on the edge of the amphitheatre basin, each features full en suite bathroom with outdoor showers, mini bar fridges, air-conditioning, tea and coffee making facilities. The standard suites are decorated in a range of earthy tones ranging from terra cottas to deep blues, the rooms have been carefully co-ordinated to ensure comfortable seating both indoors and out. The standard configuration includes two twin beds and in a limited number of rooms it is possible to offer a king size bed.

In additional to the standard Suites Ivory Tree has very recently introduced 4 Luxury Suites, beautifully decorated and very spacious, featuring a lounge area and a private patio with private plunge pool.

Most of the guests are at Ivory Tree for the thrill of the open vehicle safari. Ivory Tree uses custom built 10 seater open game viewers which permit maximum all around visibility. The Pilanesberg National Park is home to a wide variety of general game including the Big 5, in addition both species of Rhino occur, namely black and white, and Cheetah and Wild Dog. Each group of guests is assigned a personal guide who is tasked with interpreting the sights and sounds of the African bush.

Other activities for you to enjoy at Ivory Tree while on your down time is to relax around the main pool or for some real self-indulgence enjoy a massage at the exclusive Amani Spa! At this lodge you don't have to worry about your little ones – here they can go on bush bumbles with rangers or you can all enjoy a family safari together. For those avid bird lovers you can book a bird drive, which is tailor made to suit everyone from novice to experienced bird watchers. Otherwise for those looking for a little bit more of an adrenaline rush, why don't you book a hot air-ballooning trip over the park (what could be better than sipping on a glass of bubbles while watching the game meander through the park from above) or take an elephant back safari? Of course, the golf courses and gambling tables of Sun City are pretty close by too!
