Ivory Safari Lodge Review

Our last stay in the bush at the Ivory Lodge in Hwange National Park was beyond expectations. Hosts and staff were amazing. The accommodations were similar to a bush camp in that the thatched cottages had open air windows with shades that could be rolled down. It is not air conditioned but tolerable during the heat of the day due to fans in the rooms and their swimming pool provided relief. A thatched viewing area overlooking a water hole brought us within 5 feet of a herd of elephants. AMAZING!. On our last night we were fortunate to see a pride of 16 lions, multiple zebra, herds of elephants, and multiple giraffes. Food was fantastic and we had a surprise lunch cooked and served out in the bush complete with linen, wine, and dessert.

This is a great place.5 star in the Jungle...All the luxuries in tbis lodge. Elephant coming to tje pool to drink water. dtagg is great.rooms are great.owners arw so great.

Stayed here as part of a package tour. The main lodge area is pleasant enough. The rooms are rustic but adequate. However, they lack safes to store valuables which I find unacceptable in 2019. The rooms also do not lock.

The staff was pleasant but not well trained. I need to maintain a gluten free diet. I was told by the tour operator that the hotel was aware and could accommodate. That was not the case. The kitchen staff sent us out for a game drive with a picnic. The only thing I was able to eat was the potato salad. On other drives there was nothing gluten free.

The lodge does not have a lot of competition right now, which is probably why they feel they can be so non-service oriented. That will change in the future, however.

I would not stay in this hotel again nor can I recommend it to others.

First time experience at Ivory Safari Lodge was a well deserved time spent. Travel Bound Zimbabwe Crew spent a night and every about this place was and is worth an Ivory as the same says. A very different set up from Hotels in Victoria Falls.
I have not been to Khulu Safari Lodge, it was still under construction when I visited Hwange.

Amazing, stunning and overall just has to be one of the best places I have ever stayed. We took over the whole lodge and booked all 6 rooms for a family reunion with family coming from the States, UK and Zim. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed the game rides, excellent food and just relaxing around the lodge. I thoroughly recommend visiting Khulu Bush Camp!

I loved this place. Very luxurious and very rustic. Excellent place to stay

Lovely place, lovely staff. Rooms are comfortable and the views amazing. A really nice place to see Hwange from.

What a fabulous lodge and magical experience!! Staff were very friendly and helpful, the rooms are comfortable and have fantastic views of the waterhole where there is a great variety of animals that visit throughout the day. Many thanks to Mike for his scrumptious cuisine. Can't wait to come back.
