Great camp yo visit.
Reviewed By Z8936BMmarklThis was a great camp. We would probably give it a 4 1/2 instead of 5 if that was offered. The only draw back from the lodge was the quality of the food. We felt it could have been a little better but was a minor issue. We were treated very well by the entire staff. Our guide was great and we had some great animal viewing. On our back deck we were able to view animals including elephants about 50 yards away. We also woke up one morning to a hippo on the front lawn. The room was nice with a great shower. I would not hesitate to go to this camp again.

10/10!
Reviewed By Alan PWe had a truly wonderful time at Elephant Plains. From the airport pickup, to the game drives, food, and lodging, we never had a stressful moment. Dylan was an exceptionally knowledgeable guide who always listened and made sure to check in on everyone during the game drives. The food was delicious, and I can't think of a single complaint about our luxurious lodging. Overall, highly recommend for anyone wanting a safari - we saw every animal imaginable in our 2.5 days there.

Reviewed By SherwinKrugThere really are no words to do Ivory Lodge justice. We had pretty high expectations and from start to finish it was better than we could have imagined. The Big 5 on multiple days. The small things will blow you away. The knowledgeable guide Ruvan (who humbly did not mention his Top 5 South African guides nomination) and expert tracker Noel were superb. My only regret is that I have now spoiled my kids forever. Kudos to the owners for such an excellent product.

Simbambili always a treat to visit
Reviewed By Drew KHappy to share that another trip to the special Simbambili exceeded all expectations!!! From Mike our ranger and his trusty Mr T every game drive was a wonderful experience. Thanks for the off roading that allowed us wonderful access to the big 5 and so much more with two insane Wild Dog sightings. To Tanya, Nomsa, Edward, Rich, Stan, Moosa, Glory and all the other lodge staff thanks for looking after us with such genuine care and warmth!! You make this place so amazing to visit and are an exceptional advert for South Africa! Chef you legend, the food keeps getting better and better, the Boma dinner was fabulous as was the bush breakfast. I appreciate the effort to accommodate my dietary requirements and leave very well fed ??. See you again soon!!

Amazing experience!
Reviewed By MurdenSWe arrived at the lodge for a four night safari break and although on first impressions we thought the accommodation was a little rustic, we had the most wonderful stay. You don’t come to such a place for a plush room, you come for the safari experience and we got just that, in buckets! Our ranger and tracker Opa and David were absolutely fantastic, incredibly warm, kind, funny, incredibly knowledgeable and determined to give us the best safari experience possible and they delivered! We saw the big 5 most game drives and they went above and beyond to ensure we saw whatever animals were requested by the group. We enjoyed chatting to them both during sundowners, just lovely people to be around. The lodge itself is run incredibly well and everything went like clockwork. Meals were fantastic and there was no chance of going hungry! The service given by Ophan was wonderful, who is another asset to the lodge like Opa and David. The rest of the team, Leo and FC are also a credit and we again enjoyed spending time with them and learning from them. Our only criticism was the shower in our room wasn’t very powerful and water went all over the floor everytime but not a biggie. Would highly recommend :)
