Wild Ivory Eco Lodge – Limpopo, South Africa

Overview

Positioned in an ecological ‘sweet spot’, the region that surrounds Wild Ivory Eco Lodge is comprised of nutrient-rich grasslands that unfold over the sprawling savannah of Welgevonden. As such it is the most attractive region for grazing game, which in turn draws a large quantity of predators to the area.

Situated far from human habitation and disturbance, Wild Ivory is designed to exist in harmony with nature’s purity and raw beauty. The lodge is eco-friendly, low impact and provides the perfect base for those seeking an unadulterated connection with the bush. An exclusive number of guests who prize the serene hush of African wilderness will find sanctuary in the barefoot luxury of Wild Ivory.

This is an ideal destination for solo travellers, groups of friends, couples and families

Wildlife

The Welgevonden Private Game Reserve is a well established sanctuary for some of Africa’s most endangered animals. Well stocked with the lions, elephants, rhinos, buffalos and leopards that make up the Big Five, numerous other mammal species roam within the reserve, uninhibited by human interference. The reserve also offers some of the best White Rhino and cheetah sightings in southern Africa.

The Waterberg area was established as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve almost a decade ago and is conserved to the strictest standards as an outstanding example of African heritage and natural wonder. Sweet grasses and a private waterhole attract an abundance of wildlife to the lodge itself.
