The Ivory Tree Game Lodge is set in the North Eastern region of the Pilanesberg Game Reserve in South Africa’s North West Province. Access to this 5 star Ivory Tree Game Lodge is either by road or by air from Johannesburg.

Each guest room at the Ivory Tree Lodge features an energizing outdoor shower, air-conditioner, mini bar fridge, and tea and coffee making facility. Small intimate guest areas have been created to retain comfort and privacy for individual guests staying at the Ivory Tree Game Lodge.

The Pilanesberg National Park, which is situated a 2 hour drive north west of Johannesburg/Pretoria, is characterized by impressive volcanic mountain forms and rolling savannah grasslands. These impressive features have created one of the most topographically diverse Reserves to be found in South Africa.

Facilities at the Ivory Tree Game Lodge in the game rich Pilanesberg National Park include a swimming pool, bar, conference room, dining room, boma, reception area and curio shop. The guest experience at Ivory Tree includes guiding guests through the reserve which is home to Africa’s Big Five ( elephant, lion, buffalo, rhino and leopard) in specially purpose built safari vehicles. Each of the safari vehicles is able to carry a maximum of 10 guests thus ensuring absolute individual attention whilst on each game drive.

Conference facilities are available at the Ivory Tree Game Lodge and the central facility is able to accommodate 75 delegates in classroom styled seating. Conference delegates can also enjoy the features of a South African safari on a tailor made itinerary. Sweeping patios provide the ideal venue for delicious English breakfasts and light luncheons with the boma specially reserved for fire-side dinners.

The game rangers at the Ivory Tree Game Lodge are amongst the most experienced in the Pilanesberg, and are committed to bringing guests close encounters with a wide variety of big game during morning and afternoon/evening game drives during each safari. The boundaries of Pilanesberg National Park are home to some 8 000 animals and the park is now one of the privileged reserves hosting the complete Big Five. A major reason for Pilanesberg's diversity of animals is that it lies in the transition zone between the arid Kalahari in the west and the humid Lowveld of the Northwest Province. The seven different habitats at the Pilanesberg attract and cultivate prolific birdlife.
