Stay at Ivory Lodge

This family run lodge is full of character, with rooms built on stilts in a Robinson Crusoe style, offering open-aired views of the floodlit waterhole. Its location in the Hwange National Park is best known for being home to great herds of elephants who stroll past your stilted hut, and take refuge from the almighty heat at Ivory Lodgeâs waterhole.

The staff at Ivory Lodge will go above and beyond to make your stay as comfortable as possible, and the guides have an expert knowledge of the area. The huts are kept immaculate and the food is fantastic. With one family room, and two suites that can be converted into triples for families, this lodge is extremely accommodating of children.

Jen & George

We were bundled into a vehicle and dashed off to see a leopard within the first 30 minutes of arriving; it was an AWESOME start. Our guide completely made the entire experience. He was an exceptional birder and his best party trick was to point out the bird and then tell us the exact page we could find it in our book. We combined Zimbabwe with Mozambique, and our beach hotel felt like a complete hidden gem. The sand is like ‘moon dust’ and the hospitality and food were fantastic.
