About This Property
Fish Eagle Residence is the crown jewel within Lion Sands' Ivory Lodge estate — a standalone four-bedroom villa that takes the Ivory Lodge experience and makes it entirely your own. The residence occupies its own section of the Sabie River frontage with complete privacy from the main lodge, yet guests can access all of Ivory Lodge's facilities and services.
The villa features four spectacular glass-walled suites, each with private pool, a central entertainment area with wine cellar and bar, a private chef and butler, and a dedicated game vehicle with personal ranger and tracker.
The setting is extraordinary: floor-to-ceiling glass opens directly onto the Sabie River, where elephants cross, hippos wallow, and fish eagles call from the overhanging trees. It's the Sabi Sand at its most luxurious and most private.
Why We Love It
Fish Eagle is where the world's most discerning safari travellers stay when they want it all: the Sabi Sand's legendary game viewing, Ivory Lodge's ultra-premium design, and the complete privacy of their own riverfront villa with dedicated staff. This is the pinnacle of South African safari hospitality.
