Since its inception, Lalibela Game Reserve has acknowledged the huge demand for family safari holidays in a malaria-free area. Lalibela’s location makes it ideal for adults travelling with children who would like to combine a family safari with the Garden Route and Cape Town. There are no surrounding public roads in this area so the animals, including the predators, are free to roam throughout the entire reserve.
Location:
Situated within the Lalibela Game Reserve between Port Elizabeth and Grahamstown.
Accommodation and facilities:
Lentaba Game Lodge:
The lodge sleeps sixteen people in eight secluded thatched chalets, strategically positioned within magnificent indigenous gardens that merge into the surrounding bush. Each en-suite unit has a private observation deck to make the most of the views over the valley bushveld. The main lodge is decorated in a traditional safari style and boasts a large lounge, viewing deck and a sunny swimming pool where you can spend a relaxing afternoon soaking up the sun. The outdoor dining boma serves traditional African cuisine and has a commanding view of a waterhole which is spotlit after dark for night game viewing. There is also a stylish indoor dining area. Brunch is served al fresco on the main viewing deck.
Tree Tops:
The four luxury en suite guest tents are superbly fitted out and have their own private veranda from which to enjoy the surrounding views. Each is linked by walkway to the lodge, which has a large lounge and open-air dining deck with a view over a small waterhole. Guests can sunbathe around the swimming pool or relax in the shaded gazebo before enjoying the delights of the kitchen! Here, food is true safari cuisine with an emphasis on local specialties, ranging from centuries-old recipes to exciting new contemporary African dishes. In addition to the food, dining here is an opportunity to share experiences with your fellow guests in true ’relaxed informality’.
Mark’s Camp:
This superb lodge sleeps up to twenty guests in four individual and three family chalets. Each delightfully furnished chalet has an en-suite bathroom and there is a ceiling fan for those warm summer nights. The chalets open up onto a private deck with views over the waterhole. Between game drives, guests can relax in the large lounge, bird watch from the viewing decks or laze around the swimming pool. Dining is either al fresco in the boma or in the gracious indoor dining area.
Activities:
Twice-daily (morning and evening) 4x4 game-drives and exceptional birding and photographic opportunities.
Special attractions:
During your stay here you will have the chance to experience the ’Rhythm of Africa’ when each night staff and guests gather around the fire and form a drum circle and you will get a chance to play African drums in the wild. Mark’s Camp offers unique children’s game drives where children under eight, can enjoy special game drives with their own game ranger (parents and older children are welcome to join). For safety reasons, the children’s rangers will avoid close-range Big Five sightings.
