Lalibela Game Reserve, Driekoppen

Description: Lalibela Game Reserve

Standing in the midst of 7,500 hectares of hectares of bush and plains, spanning no less than five eco-systems, Lalibela Game Reserve is a luxury safari lodge, offering unique accommodation and experiences in three distinct areas: the Tree Tops Safari Lodge, the Lentaba Lodge, and Mark's Camp. Just an hour's drive from Port Elizabeth and Addo, Lalibela Game Reserve is unique in the Eastern Cape in that there are no public roads running through the property. This means that Lalibela's guests have exclusive access to the wildlife area, guaranteeing a truly authentic, bespoke safari experience.

Lalibela Game Reserve offers Big Five game viewing experiences - lion, rhino, elephant, buffalo and leopard - luxurious accommodation and great food, along with all modern comforts and amenities. Located in a malaria-free area, the three lodges at Lalibela feature African-inspired décor and classic safari-style furnishings. Tree Tops Safari Lodge consists of luxury tents perched on thatched platforms at ''tree top'' level offering fabulous views over the densely-wooded valley, Lentaba consists of just eight secluded thatched chalets, located by indigenous gardens that merge into the surrounding bush, while Mark's camp has eight stone and thatch chalets and the main lodge, pool deck and two swimming pools.

Each overnight stay at Lalibela Game Reserve includes two game drives - one in the evening and one in the morning - high tea, a safari cuisine dinner, a light breakfast and a sumptuous brunch the following day. To enjoy the safari experience to the full, Lalibela recommends a minimum of two night's stays, or ideally three. All meals and drinks are included in nightly rates.
