Ivory Wilderness River Rock Lodge | Kruger Private Reserves

Ivory Wilderness River Rock Lodge is a luxury chalet safari camp offering Big 5 walking trails and game drives in 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, while guests can enjoy a private traverse in a beautiful and unique location.

Sleeping (max) 8 to 10 guests in five Luxury Rondaval chalets that are tucked below riverine trees, Ivory Wilderness River Rock Lodge offers intimate experiences in the bush. This intimacy is enhanced by safari group sizes of (max) four to six and a personalized experience from beginning to end. A sparkling swimming pool adorns the River where guests can birdwatch, observe elephants and lap up the tranquility of this uncrowded, pristine reserve. Guest chalets are all en suite and ultra-comfortable with luxurious touches and elegant décor reminiscent of old-world African travel.

The exclusive positioning of the camp on a rocky escarpment of the Klaserie River provides picturesque views of the river below and the hillside that surrounds it. Game viewing is superb year-round as wildlife visits the river to drink, while the outstanding experience of a walking safari completes the unforgettable experience.
