· Lalibela Game Reserve

Lalibela, the private game reserve found in the Eastern Cape which means
it is not only malaria free, but spans 4 ecosystems (valley bushveld,
grassland, fynbos and riverine forest), resulting in a breath-taking
diversity of plants, animals and birds
Early morning and sunset game drives in an open vehicle with an experienced
game ranger bring you face to face with a multitude of game species,
ranging from mighty elephant, rhino and buffalo to tiny blue duiker
and rock hyrax. Lalibela is also home to hippo, giraffe, zebra, warthog
and numerous species of antelope such as eland, kudu, bushbuck and wildebeest
and soon to be home to the majestic Cheetah and spotted Hyena.
Lentaba Lodge
The "lodge on the hillside" sleeps 16 people in eight individual
chalets. The secluded thatched chalets are placed where magnificent
indigenous gardens merge into the surrounding bush. Each en-suite unit
has a private viewing deck to make the most of the magnificent views
over the valley bushveld and an en-suite bathroom. The outdoor dining
"boma" holds a commanding view of a waterhole, which is spotlight
after dark for night game viewing.
Mark's
Camp
This lodge sleeps 8 people in four individual chalets. The camp can
be booked as a unit, making it particularly suitable for groups with
young children. Each lodge also boasts a large lounge, outdoor dining
“boma”, as well as indoor dining room for the cold winters
of the Eastern Cape, a viewing deck and a sunny swimming pool where
one can spend a lazy afternoon. Dining at Lalibela is unforgettable,
from brunch or high tea with pecan nut tarts and crispy lemon meringues
to a spectacular African buffet. Lalibela offers a day programme, which
is ideal for nature lovers whose tight schedule does not allow for an
overnight stay at one of the lodges.
Guests are welcomed with tea and coffee on arrival followed by a short
bush walk during which guests will learn more about the flora, fauna
and cultural history of the region. Guests are treated to a grand safari-cuisine
lunch at the day centre and then an experienced range will take them
on a 3-hour game drive in an open landrover, traversing the reserve
where wildlife roams in profusion and diversity.
