The 10,500-hectare expanse offers Big 5 adventures and luxury accommodation for all its guests. In addition to its safari adventures, a stay at Lalibela is also the perfect way to round up a Garden Route adventure.
Game drives are a treat at Lalibela. An expert ranger escorts guests through the Eastern Cape vastness as they search for the Big 5 through plains, acacia forests and lush valleys. Additionally, antelope, giraffe and a plethora of other animals also roam the reserve. Besides conventional wildlife, Lalibela plays host to a range of birdlife, perfect for birdwatchers. Game drives are offered early in the morning and in the late afternoon, when wildlife is most active.
While Amakhala is home to the Big 5 and a variety of other game, it also plays host to lesser known species such as the curious spring hare. Our rangers delight in showing our visitors all that the reserve has to offer! There is also a plethora of birdlife in the reserve that promises to amaze both the avid birdwatcher and novice alike.
Early morning and sunset game drives reveal a multitude of game on Amakhala’s private 7,500 hectares, from the mighty elephant to the nocturnal aardvark.
There is a huge demand for families wanting a safari holiday in a malaria-free area, because of the risks associated with taking children to a malaria-infested area.
We have devised a flexible children’s programme which we feel optimises the safari experience with quality family time. A completely safe, child friendly game drive, combined with activities such as arts and crafts and bush skills will keep your little ones busy and entertained.
Children of all ages are welcome at Mark’s Camp which has 4 twin rooms on one side of the lodge and 4 family rooms on the other side of the lodge.
The overnight rate for children under 12 includes accommodation, children’s programme & game drives, all meals and all drinks at Mark’s Camp and on game drives. To get the most out of your safari experience we recommend that you spend at least 2 nights with us.
