Guest Reviews

• Sally (10/5): disappointed with the food which is main reason i keep returning. My next weekend i am going to esl - staff, rooms, game ranger JAFTA I am a regular customer, the food has declined badly!
• Sophie (7/5): A pleasant stay overall :) - Really good food. The game drives were great! Our guide Japhta was awesome! The ambience inside the villas could be improved with some better lighting and decorations. There was a lot of noise - lawn mower, repairs, the drums etc..OK for some people but if you want pure tranquility in the bush it’s not ideal. The restaurant service was at times disorganised. This could be improved.
• chloe (10/5): Une expérience exceptionnelle - Le lieu est superbe, le personnel extrêmement attentionné et la nourriture incroyable. Tout était parfait
• VALERIE (10/5): Super séjour - Tout Rien
• Lisa (9/5): -
• Natalie (10/5): - Everything Nothing
• Ndabeni (10/5): The magic simply does not stop. I got to see all BiG 5 during my 3 day visit. Can't ask for better. - Everything Nothing
• Marina (10/5): Excelente voltarei com certeza (sem utilizar o serviço de transfer) - Tudo excelente Serviço de transfer agendado com o hotel: o motorista atrasou mais de 1 hora em relação ao horário agendado para a volta, correndo o risco de eu perder meu voo internacional. O hotel estornou o pagamento e eu só não pedi o voo porque houve um atraso na saída do voo pela cia aérea.
• Harnischfeger (9/5): Spacious room, delicious food, very friendly staff. - We stayed at the family suite which is very spacious and has its own (heated) little pool as well as a quite big private patio area. The beds are very comfortable and the bathrooms spacious and well fitted too. The food is absolutely excellent, and the staff very nice. Dinner starts a bit too late for families with small kids (19:30), we were there with an 18 month old and the evenings got a bit long for us. Kinds below 6 are not allowed on game drives, so there is not so much in terms of activities to keep them busy until then.
• Lisa (10/5): Short and sweet - The location and the attention to detail with all the extra activities we requested. Service at the restaurant was not the best, but still decent.
• Amelia (6/5): There are better 4 star places. - Not 5 star, been to better 4 star places
• Crystal (10/5): -
• Lenora (10/5): -
• Lydia (10/5): -
• Sally (3/5): Food was very disappointing - I liked everything in general, however I did not like or find it as I would expect. The Saturday night meal was disgusting beyond words. I do not come to you to have a braai especially one with duck and rabbit, which neither I have eaten or can eat. I was then given chicken, which was not chicken at all and tasted disgusting. Firstly, I can braai at home and do not need to pay your pricing to come and have a braai!!!! I have a very sensitive stomach and I did not appreciate that fact that it was braai with no alternatives. I come to you on a regular basis, because I find you food outstanding so this has really left a horrid taste with me and think I will now look at going to another lodge that does not do this to me when I pay good money, and NOT for a braai!!!!!! liked everything in general, however I did not like or find it as I would expect.

• Philippa (8/5): - Great situation close to Pilanesberg . Lovely staff , a bit over friendly. The prices were quite high on the drinks. Fine for people paying in Forex, not nice for locals
• Franziska (10/5): -
• Poornima (10/5): -
• Sarah (10/5): Thank you to Kagiso and Wame you guys are legends - I have stayed at this lodge at least 20 times, and it remarkably just keeps getting better. A major highlight of this property is the exceptional staff. I want to give a massive shout-out to Kagiso, who is hugely professional and supportive. She has a talent for making you feel 100% at home while maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and outstading service. Can’t wait for stay number 21! nothing
• Gemma (10/5): -
• Elisa (9/5): - Das Resort ist wunderschön. Die Unterkunft war hübsch und das Personal ist extrem freundlich und umsorgt einen bestens. Das Essen ist super! Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Die Game Drives waren grandios. Die Unterkunft ist sehr, sehr teuer und man muss es sich leisten können. Vollpension heißt hier ohne Getränke, diese muss man noch zusätzlich einkalkulieren.
• WONG AH SEE (8/5): -
• Kaboura (6/5): Schöne Lodge und tolle Game Drives - Tolle Familiensuite, die geräumig und sauber war. Wir hatten zwei Nächte gebucht und fanden auch das Personal sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Die Game Drives und unser Ranger waren jedoch das Highlight unseres Aufenthaltes. Wir haben wunderbare Eindrücke mitnehmen können und hatten wirklich Glück mit unserem Ranger Penyho. Nach unserem Eintreffen hatten wir Mittagessen und wollten dann um 14:00 Uhr einchecken, da wir einen langen Tag hinter uns hatten und gerne noch etwas geschlafen hätten. Jedoch war unser Zimmer noch nicht fertig und wir könnten erst 45 Minuten später in unser Zimmer. Leider war eine Baustelle direkt zwei Bungalows neben uns. Die Bauarbeiten waren wirklich sehr laut und wir baten um ein neues Zimmer. Der Manager bat uns um einen Kompromiss, und versprach die Arbeiten auf die Zeiten zu beschränken, in denen wir auf unserem Game Drive waren. Diesem haben wir zugestimmt. Leider wurde dieses Versprechen nicht gehalten. Der Lärm war sehr störend und es war sehr ärgerlich, dass die getroffene Vereinbarung nicht eingehalten wurde. Mehrere Personen kamen auf uns zu, entschuldigten sich und redeten unheimlich viel. Dies hat uns nicht wirklich geholfen oder gefallen, da nie eine wirkliche Lösung angestrebt wurde. Wir hätten einfach gerne Ruhe gehabt und wären auch bereit gewesen in ein anderes Zimmer umzuziehen. Die Bums war ebenfalls in Renovierung und nicht benutzbar.
• Zakariyya (8/5): Great facilities and experience, abit too expensive for locals. - Staff were very friendly and helpful They should have a cheaper rate for locals
• Warren (9/5): - Games drives and food
• ClaudiaVanVuuren (10/5): Wonderful - We loved everything about Ivory Tree! The game drives were excellent - we had some excellent sightings, and the game drive coffees in the morning and sundowners in the evening were lovely. Our ranger, Vincent, was very knowledgeable. The food was delicious and varied. We stayed in the luxury suite which had its own private patio and plunge pool. The suite was spacious for the 3 of us (2 adults and a 7 year old), with a massive comfy bed. We loved the small touches like the little bottle of sherry and small snacks that were replenished each day, along with plenty of bottled water being provided. Our son unfortunately had gastroenteritis on our second night (we don't know where he got it from, but we don't think he got it from the food), but the staff were so kind and helpful the next day, assisting us with room service so we could leave him to sleep in the morning, being flexible with housekeeping, changing all his bedding and towels, and about 10 different people asking him if he was okay later in the day. One of the new managers, Johannes, even went so far as to buy him a lovely bottle in the gift shop and fill it with juice, so he could have it on the evening game drive. This all added to the personal feel of our stay and made it special for our son. The boma was unfortunately closed for renovations so we didn't get to experience that, but we look forward to doing so in future.
• Karine (9/5): Our stay was amazing! - The food portions were perfect and the quality was above level. The noise level during the game drive
• Ian (9/5): -
• Pamela (10/5): We were kindly upgraded at no cost. The experience in the Royal suite. It was an amazing experience! Felt like a royal f - All was excellent! Nothing! All was perfect.
• Michaela (6/5): - We liked spa services, they are great. Kitchen is good. Room 56 was all right. We enjoyed swimming pool and its surrondings. We were dissapointed with number of guests. This can be important for people like us who prefer quiet please. If you want to go to Pilanesberg, Mbazo colection logde is much bettee. We have been to Black Rhino Reserve, it was amazing.there. Here is so many cars and when they spot lions, which has a collar, it can be 20 cars on that place. Terrible nigh mare. Our guide was not realy good driver and not a best guide either. He did not have a spot light in that car, I do not understand. We met amazing animals on the way back from afternoon game drive and we could not see it. Dinning. I was surprise when bottle with lunch and dinner cost 90 ZAR. So over all. Good choice for families, not a good choice for people prefer privacy.
• Jochen (10/5): First Class Safari - Top Service
• Marco (9/5): Tranquil, great rooms, lovely staff and food. - Gorgeous rooms, lovely staff, great food. There was nothing not to like…
• Beatrice (10/5): Danke an das familiäre Team. Vor allem bright, ofentse ( Ranger) und Trainee im Service blessed - Alles Nichts
• EMMANOUIL (10/5): -
• Anshul (10/5): An exceptional safari lodge with stunning wildlife, luxury comfort, and outstanding service. - Beautiful location, stunning room, delicious food, warm, friendly staff , great facilities! 2 games drives a day. A beautiful set up for our anniversary. The road getting there - no fault of the lodge
• Leonardo (10/5): Fantastic place with fantastic staff! - Room was amazing! Fantastic staff! Everything was perfect!
• STEFANY (10/5): -
• David (9/5): -
• Zoe (10/5): The most amazing stay! - Everything!! It was an amazing place to stay, from the rooms, to the food and the loviest staff! Nothing!
• Vaupell (9/5): Uitstekende accommodatie met zeer vriendelijk personeel in een hele mooie omgeving - Het personeel was erg vriendelijk. Het is een prachtige omgeving. We hadden een geweldige kamer met een mooi uitzicht. Er waren altijd golfkarretjes beschikbaar om je naar je kamer te brengen (omdat het best een eind lopen was). Het eten zelf was ook uitstekend, zoals je mag verwachten van een 5-sterrenaccommodatie. We waren er op een zaterdag, dus we hebben genoten van een speciale braai in de boma: heel leuk om mee te maken. We zagen een verscheidenheid aan dieren, maar – misschien door het einde van de zomer – ze waren moeilijk te vinden en waren er niet altijd veel.
• Carina (10/5): -
• Umurcan (9/5): Harika bir turizm anlayışı - Konumu, çalışanların yaklaşımını, turizm anlayışını Günlük yapılacaklar hakkında bilgilendirme eksikti, biz ordayken boma yapıldı ama saat kaçta başladığını bilmediğimizden geç kaldık, yeterince tadını çıkaramadık
• bell (10/5): - Everything! I could not recommend Ivory tree enough. It was so comfortable, the staff were lovely. The food was delicious! And the staff, the staff were exceptional.
• Kgalalelo (9/5): -
• Philippa (8/5): Great game viewing ,comfy beds and an awesome spa ! - Beautiful spot , excellent location aside the reserve . Wonderful meal selections . Great spa Our little pool was way too hot when we got here, our aircon also did not work that well . Drinks a little over priced for SA locals . Found the staff friendly , but often over attentive , but then also quite slow with service. I had to ask twice for swimming towels to be delivered to our room
• Renisha (8/5): Good - The service was great on day 1. Melvin was an exceptional ranger. The service on day 2 fell short. The lunch service was very busy so our order was delayed. We did not have a turn down service, they knocked at 8:30pm on our door but we were already in bed. The roof also had a leak. These are minor to our overall stay but i think these things can be improved.
• Thierry (9/5): - Très joli cottage, personnel attentionné, repas parfaits en qualité et en quantité. Très bon wifi dans les chambres
• Maria (10/5): Eccellente - Ottima posizione, praticamente accanto a uno dei cancelli del parco. Camere ampie e ben arredate (la nostra era una camera standard). Personale fantastico: gentile, sorridente, preparato, efficiente. Cibo gourmet davvero buonissimo. Lo consiglierei a tutti!
• Loren (10/5): Amazing game lodge - We were upgraded to a Luxury Suite with pool. It was so amazing. We had a Boma for dinner which was great to try all the local dishes & communal tables were very social. Staff were all approachable and couldn’t do more for everyone there. Bright our game driver was awesome! Nothing.
• Lisa (10/5): - 2ème passage à l’Ivory Tree Game Lodge : toujours un plaisir, la qualité de la prestation est exceptionnelle et a même, je trouve, augmenté ces dernières années !
• Lareshka (9/5): -
• Marco (10/5): Once in a lifetime experience! - Everything was amazing. Every single staff member was very welcoming and gave us a very high standard service. The property is amazing and the activities are astonishing There wasn’t anything I didn’t like
• Maria Tereza (10/5): A truly magical 3-day escape into nature with the best guiding team! - Everything was perfect! From the delicious food to the pristine rooms, we felt so well taken care of. The game drives were pure magic thanks to our driver, Bright. He was so knowledgeable and made sure we understood everything we were seeing. The staff's constant smiles and helpfulness made the stay extra special. The shower area felt a bit exposed due to the low exterior wall and glass door. Increasing the wall height would offer much better privacy for guests.
• Sara (10/5): A MUST in South Africa! - STAY HERE!!! absolutely best trip - service and the staff are excellent… Property is gorgeous. Rooms are very spacious and comfortable…. Stayed in the standard room…. We’ve been came back to a surprise, one night set up by the staff for a honeymoon of roses, champagne, and chocolate!
• Guimarães de Mello Alves (10/5): - Conforto, gastronomia, atendimento perfeito. Nada
• Julie (9/5): - Tout est très bien organisé ! Très bon accueil, excellent repas, safaris.
• Gina (7/5): - Game viewing Food terrible
• Pamela (8/5): Lovely trip, great staff and hotel. Would return - Great set up, food was good Waiters/ waitresses need to either be assigned a role or have their own tables. We were asked the same thing by at least 3 staff members each meal and it just appeared unorganized.
• Neeraj (9/5): Good food! Good people! Good services! - Everything . I was amazed by the vegetarian food options and that made my stay extraordinary. Thank you to the Head Chef and all the staff who are involved in bringing that food to the plate. It would be nice to have doors in the bathroom
• Weller (10/5): -
• Yann (10/5): -
• Mary (10/5): Amazing lodge , great safaris … amazing food and staff ! - Lovely location … staff were amazing and the food was great every day .. such a selection to choose from all table served only buffet on the two special out door evenings . Safaris were great twice a day if you want to .. we had Jafta and Brite as our rangers . Good fun .. love the morning hot choc & Amarula .. and evening sun downers in the Park ! We saw all the big five . All good
• Alister (10/5): Great hotel, food and safaris - Rooms and hotel fantastic Clean, modern but cosy feel
• vincent (9/5): Super séjour dans un endroit magnifique et hors du temps. - Le personnel, les Game Drive au petit matin, la petite piscine dans le chalet très pratique pour enfants en dessous de 7/8 ans.
• Britta (6/5): -
• Clemens (10/5): Perfekter Safari Urlaub - Diese Unterkunft ist perfekt für das rundum Safari Paket. Man erhält Vollpension in dieeer Jnterkunft. Zum Frühstück gibt es ein kleines Buffet und man kann sich individuell Frühstücksgerichte bestellen (ich empfehle den South African Benedict mit Chakalaka). Zum Abendessen gibt es ein 4 Gänge Menü bei dem man sich aus einer Auswahl etwas heraussuchen kann. Man kann aber auch einfach mehrfach die Hauptspeise aussuchen. Das einzige was nicht im Preis inklusive ist, sind die Getränke. Diese sind aber nicht teuer und können bequem am Ende über das Zimmer bezahlt werden. Die Safaris sind super gut organisiert. Jeden Morgen und jeden Nachmittag/Abend fährt man immer mit dem gleichen Ranger in den Park und sucht Tiere. In einem Fahrzeug können bis zu 10 Lodge Besucher mitfahren. Unser Ranger Ofentse hat einen wirklich tollen Job gemacht! Er kümmert sich um alle mitfahrenden und um die Wünsche, die jeder hat. Er hat es uns sogar ermöglicht, dass wir einen Leiparden gesehen haben. Danke Ofentse! -
• Susan (9/5): -
• Charlotte (10/5): Phenomenal lodge - What a special place. We travelled as a couple for 6 nights and enjoyed every aspect of our stay. The staff are kind and friendly, always looking to help with a smile. The food was amazing! The game drives were phenomenal. A Larger American group (+22 people) all sat at the same table set out for them, at the same time. This compromised the evening meal service for other guests (we spoke to a few) - the standard was so high so it was a shame that it slipped. Especially since it was our last night.
• Iris (10/5): Genieten! - Perfecte combinatie van natuur en luxe! Niets
• Danny (10/5): -
• surrie (10/5): - Everything was great. The food, the experience, the lodging.
• Florian (10/5): Hervorragender Aufenthalt, Spitzen Safari, sehr nettes Personal, top Essen - Tolle Anlage, sehr gepflegt, super nettes Personal, ganz hervorragendes Essen zu allen Mahlzeiten, Safaris spitze, Suite richtig toll.
• Maddalena (10/5): -
• Renske (8/5): - Mooie kamer met een heerlijk bed. Personeel ontzettend vriendelijk. Te veel service, voor zover dat te veel kan zijn, housekeeping vaak op de kamer en daardoor weinig privacy. Het eten is goed, soms heerlijk, soms prima. Voor hoeveel het kost wel gek dat water en veel drinken er niet bij in zit. De game drives waren fantastisch!
• ashley (9/5): Booked 7 months ago. A few days before our arrival we rectangle email saying they overbooked due to a computer glitch an - Staff ,accommodation
• Peter (10/5): -
• Aleksandra (10/5): -
• Beatrice (10/5): - Là terrasse du restaurant, la suite S2 confortable et spacieuse, la fluidité du service malgré le WE très chargé. Et surtout JAN le super driver !
• Masilela (10/5): - Everything Nothing
• Gabrielle (10/5): Experiência perfeita, comida maravilhosa e staff incrível - Atendimento excepcional, todos os funcionários são incrivelmente gentis e fazem o impossível para nos sentirmos acolhidos. Chegamos no hotel em cima da hora do safari da tarde, e fizeram de tudo para que pudéssemos participar. Os rangers são super atenciosos e realmente se empenham para que possamos ver os big 5, tornando a experiência mais incrível. A comida maravilhosa em todas as refeições, e sempre em abundância. Os quartos são super confortáveis, e ainda é possível avistar animais da própria sacada. Nossa experiência foi maravilhosa. Minha única sugestão seria que fosse informado as datas dos jantarem na fogueira, pois era uma experiência que realmente gostaríamos de ter tido, e acabou não ocorrendo nos dias que estivemos lá. Poderíamos ter organizado para ir em uma data que estivesse disponível, se soubéssemos com antecedência. Mas sabemos que depende do clima, então é algo difícil de prever.
• FABIO VICENTE (10/5): Excelente - Gostei muito dos quartos, os Game Drives excelentes! Tudo otimo!
• Loretta (9/5): - We made an error in our original room booking. But on calling the lodge they where very prompt to sort this out for us, and add our extra young teenager family member with additional room right next to ours
• Lynn (10/5): Fantastic experience wonderful service and food - The property was beautiful rooms spotless and well maintained. We had to wait over an hour after check in time for our rooms to be ready
• Jose (10/5): Great place to stay in ZA - + Food + the games drive + the service
• Rose (10/5): Fantastic experience - Amazing stay , staff are amazing , game drives are incredible
• Josephine (10/5): -
• Fabio (10/5): Espetacular - Quartos grande com piscina privativa, com excelente para famílias com filhos! Os Games Drive são um show a parte! Muitos animais, certeza de sucesso!
• Lerato (9/5): -
• Luciana (10/5): - Amei o hotel!! As acomodações, os funcionários, a comida, os safáris!! Adorei tudo!!!
• Thiago (10/5): Excepcional! - As refeições, a acomodação e a cortesia dos funcionários. Nada
• Mark Usher (9/5): A memorable stay at a luxurious game lodge. - The room was fantastic, very comfortable, spacious, and clean. You are allocated a game keeper for your visit who is responsible for the game drives and your wellbeing during your stay; which is a great idea and worked very well. It was difficult to get the hot tub warm. There was a problem with the bifold doors in the bedroom and unfortunately it wasn’t possible to rectify during our stay.
• Adriaan (7/5): - The game drives were great although our driver felt he had to race a few times to get us some views. While we appreciated the effort it is inherently dangerous to drive that fast in the park. The food was good but not appropriate for the experience. Having visited before and enjoyed the buffet style of eating this time it was small portions with only a few items on the menu. I also don't feel like waiting for service after a 4 hour game drive... So disappointed 😞😞😞
• Stephanie (10/5): - Le repas était succulent
• Michelle (5/5): -
• NORZAIDA (10/5): Kudos to staff of Ivory Tree Game Lodge.♡ - Everything. The staff especially. They went all out to make our stay comfortable.♡ Nothing
• Philip (10/5): Perfect place to relax and experience the wild. - Very well appointed and exceptional food on offer. Rooms are well organised and separate for privacy. They consider installing fly screens on windows to negate Aircon use. It will also keep Monkeys at bay.
• ANTONIO ROQUE (10/5): Espetacular - Nossa estadia foi maravilhosa. O lodge é excelente. Os games foram excelentes e conseguimos ver os principais animais existentes na região, em especial o leopardo. Tivemos emoções agradáveis que nunca esqueceremos. A estrutura do lodge é espetacular e todas as refeições foram excelentes. Super recomendo. Gostamos de tudo.
• CAROLINE (10/5): - It was all so perfect that it's hard to talk about everything! Incredible place, exceptional service from all the staff, the food is very tasty, our experience was amazing There is nothing that I didn't like
• Gribel (10/5): -
• Karin (9/5): - Immer wieder toll! Personal sehr freundlich. Und natürlich die Ranger perfekt, man lernt immer wieder dazu! Chalet wurde zwar neu gestaltet, leider sind die Outdoormöbel nicht mehr so gemütlich und auch die Auflagen haben gefehlt (vielleicht auch wegen dem Wetter)
