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.
Tree Top Safari Lodge has various raised walkways connect the main lodge area to luxurious tented suites. Each of these suites provides the perfect blend between rustic décor and modern furnishings.

Lalibela Tree Tops Lodge prides itself on the comfort offered by its five tented suites. Each one sleeps two guests and is styled in the vein of expedition tents of the golden age of safari. The tents come equipped with a king-size bed and an en-suite bathroom. There is also a small sitting deck attached to each suite. Moreover, meals come courtesy of the lodge’s in-house chef and are enjoyed in the open-air boma. The lodge’s pool deck ensures a picturesque cool-off from daily game drives and the ideal setting for a cocktail. Additionally, the lounge offers a comfy setting for an afternoon read, or just an afternoon nap.
Besides the views it provides of Lentaba’s many hills, the lodge also overlooks a waterhole. Hippo and elephant regularly visit this watering hole, making sundowners and lunches at Lentaba a sight to remember. Additionally, the swimming pool and outdoor bar make for the perfect summertime spot. In winter, the lodge’s many fireplaces promise a cosy refuge after a late afternoon game drive.
The lodge has 10 spacious stone-and-thatch chalets. Each one comes equipped with air-conditioning and a ceiling fan. In addition to its en-suite bathroom and king-size bed, each chalet also comes equipped with its own shaded veranda that overlooks the valleys of Lalibela. Meal times take place in either the extensive open- air boma or in the intimacy of the dining room. Moreover, the deck overlooking the watering hole provides an idyllic setting for a sundowner or two.

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.
