Ivory Wilderness River Rock Lodge

Ivory Wilderness River Rock Lodge offers a luxurious and intimate getaway that lies deep within the heart of the Klaserie Private Nature Reserve. The reserve itself shares unfenced borders with the Kruger National Park and the Timbavati Game Reserve, which means wildlife roams freely throughout.

Nestled on the banks of the Klaserie River and offering picturesque views of the dramatic landscape, Ivory Wilderness River Rock Lodge has set the standard for being an all-encompassing wilderness experience. The camp offers guests a sense of understated luxury in a wild setting home to the big five. The river meanders its way into the hilly region and draws plenty of wild animals to bask on its shores. Ivory Wilderness River Rock Lodge is truly a slice of forgotten paradise just waiting to be soaked up in the true spirit of Africa.

In true pioneer style, there are only six Luxury Rondavel chalets, intimately tucked below mature, riverine trees and looking onto the river in a Kruger-classic style. Offering intimate safaris for smaller groups, enjoy a personalized experience from beginning to end. A sparkling swimming pool adorns the river where guests can birdwatch, observe elephants and lap up the tranquillity of this uncrowded, pristine reserve. Don’t be surprised if you wake up to the echoing roar of lions reverberating through the valley!

About Klaserie Private Nature Reserve

The Klaserie Nature Reserve, (approximately 60 000 hectares), is part of the Greater Kruger National Park and open to the Kruger National Park and Timbavati Private Nature Reserve.

The private game Reserve lies along the western border of the Kruger National Park with no fencing separating the reserve from Kruger or the Timbavati, allowing the animals to roam freely between the Private Game Reserves and the Kruger Park. The game in both the Kruger Park and the neighbouring reserves is essentially the same, the difference being the experience of driving in open game viewers with a professional guide and that this area is known worldwide as the area where the white lion originate from. They are born in the wild and live in this area, so the gene pool of the white lion is carried within the lions of this area.
