Ivory Tree Game Lodge

About this stay

Ivory Tree sits close enough to Bakgatla Gate that the reserve fence is the first thing guests notice on arrival, a one-minute walk separating the lodge grounds from fenced, malaria-free Pilanesberg. Thatched huts replace the tented-camp look common further north, with air conditioning and a shared pool anchoring the common areas between game drives. Meals are included, which matters here since the nearest independent restaurant is a two-hour taxi ride toward the airport, and the day spa gives non-drive hours somewhere to go besides the room. The 5-star rating tracks with the extras: airport shuttle, business-centre access and full laundry service, aimed as much at conference groups using Pilanesberg as a base as at leisure travellers. Reviews cluster around the game-drive quality and the gate location.
