Lion Sands has been our home for four generations and is therefore deeply ingrained in our DNA. With this in mind, we began our journey of redesigning the Ivory Lodge experience. We took our cue from the passion and appreciation we have for the environment, and how we have been fortunate enough to savor it in the comfort of our own private lodge, 1933. In the new Ivory Lodge, we want our guests to feel that this is their own private safari home.”We’ve taken our cue from Mother Nature to create a lodge built ‘of the earth’, with natural materials which will only enhance the surrounding bush environment. The timeless design incorporates steel, wood, thatch, glass, water & sand. A sophisticated mid-century architectural contemporary theme defines the interiors, with bold furniture and edgy décor, ambient lighting, inferences of tribal design and highly textured finishes – all of which combine to make Lion Sands Ivory Lodge an utterly sensory experience. Ivory Lodge’s interiors reflect an elegant balance between intelligent design and an organic expression of the earth. Light, sound, flow, wood, water and air weave into the golden thread of the lodge’s architectural inspiration. Despite being well grounded, there is an ‘otherwordly’ quality to Ivory Lodge, represented by the feather. Each of the Villas takes its name from an indigenous bird, and spectacular man-sized prints find pride of place throughout the lodge.
