Lalibela Reserve

Lalibela Game Reserve is located in the Eastern Cape, which means it is not only malaria free, but spans 5 ecosystems, resulting in a breath-taking diversity of flora and fauna in true African safari style. The three main aspects of any safari are the game-viewing, the accommodation and the food. At Lalibela we take special care to ensure that heartfelt service combines with these three "ingredients" to make your African safari experience a memorable one.

General Information

Lalibela Game Reserve consists of 7,500 hectares (approximately 18,500 acres) and is home to the Big 5 (lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo & leopard). Lalibela is unique in the Eastern Cape in that we have no public roads running through our property. All of the animals, including the predators, are free-roaming throughout the entire reserve.

There are currently three game lodges - Lentaba Lodge, Mark's Camp and Tree Tops - all offering decor that is infused with the essence of Africa, as well as warm and friendly service and unforgettable game viewing. Lalibela brings you the charm of authentic Africa and is a perfect blend of the formal and informal. At Lalibela, food is true safari cuisine with an emphasis on local specialties, ranging from centuries-old recipes to exciting contemporary African dishes

Restaurants

We believe that warm hospitality and memorable food are as important as the game-viewing element of your safari experience. At Lalibela, food is true safari cuisine with an emphasis on local specialities, ranging from centuries-old recipes to exciting new contemporary African dishes. Dining at Lalibela is unforgettable whether it is brunch on a sunlit deck, or a safari cuisine dinner in an indoor dining room or outdoor boma. The atmosphere at our lodges is one of "relaxed informality" and we encourage interaction between guests at the dining table. Dining at all of our lodges, whether indoors or outdoors, is always around a large central table. The table is a place where our guests discuss the day's activities with their ranger, discuss items on the menu with the chef or just make new friends from around the world. All meals and all drinks are included in our overnight rate. There is a special menu and dining area for children under 8 (see children's programme). Vegetarian meals and other dietary requirements are catered for. Please advise us of any special dietary requirements prior to your arrival.

Rooms

We currently have 3 lodges at Lalibela. Whilst the standard of accommodation at Lentaba Lodge, Mark's Camp and Tree Tops are the same, each has its own unique character.
At all three lodges, secluded thatched chalets are placed where magnificent indigenous gardens merge into the surrounding bush.
Each en-suite unit has a private observation deck to make the most of the views. The lodges also boast a large lounge, viewing deck and a sunny swimming pool where you can spend a lazy afternoon.
They also have an outdoor dining 'boma' for fireside dinners and open-air brunches, as well as stylish indoor dining areas.

Facilities

Apart from the normal safari and outdoor activities Lalibela also offers Conferencing facilities as well as Wedding facilities.

Child policy

The children's programme is on a fully inclusive basis: all meals, soft drinks at Mark's Camp and on game drives, activities, entertainment, child minder's services and children's facilities are included in the rate.

The children's programme is designed specifically for children under the age of 8 years, but children older than 8 (including parents) are welcome to join in on any or all of the activities.

The child minders look after children and babies of all ages as well. They are on duty from 06h00 - 10h00 in the mornings and again from 16h00 - 22h00 in the afternoon/evening. Should any additional childminding be required outside of these hours, the host or hostess will gladly arrange it. Kindly note that the additional hours are an extra charge of R50 an hour.

Children under 8 years of age may not, under any circumstances, join the adult's game drive. They will be taken on their own 'Bumble Bee' drive accompanied by their child minder to see the less dangerous game. For safety reasons, the children's rangers will avoid close range Big 5 sightings.

Children under 8 years of age may not dine with the adults in the main dining area.

No child under 18 years of age will be served from the bar.

If the family is travelling with their au pair, he or she is charged the full adult sharing rate and can join in with either the adult or children's programmes. A family unit will be booked for the child minder and children and an additional room for the parents.

All activities and participation therein is at management's discretion.

Any dietary requirements must be advised prior to arrival at Lalibela
