Lekkerbly
Lalibela Experience.

naar
boven
We believe that this anonymous 19th
century quotation expresses how special the continent of Africa
is. The central ethos of Lalibela is to ensure that what visitors
experience with us does justice to these sentiments.
Lalibela's location in the Eastern
Cape means it is not only malaria-free, but spans 5 ecosystems,
resulting in a breath-taking diversity of flora and fauna.
The three main aspects of any safari are the game-viewing, the
accommodation and the food. At Lalibela we take special
care to ensure that heartfelt service combines with these three
"ingredients" to make your safari experience a memorable
one.
Lalibela now consists of 7,500
hectares (approximately 18,500 acres) and is home to the Big 5
(lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo & leopard). Lalibela
is unique in the Eastern Cape in that we have no public roads
running through our property. All of the animals,
including the predators, are free-roaming throughout the
entire reserve. We are very pleased to be able to announce
that African wild dogs were released on 6 January 2006 (see
news page for further information).
  
We currently have four lodges - Lentaba
Lodge, Mark's Camp, Tree Tops and Idwala Lodge - all
offering decor that is infused with the essence of Africa, as
well as warm and friendly service and unforgettable game viewing. A
5th lodge, Makana's Lodge, is due to open in August this year.
Lalibela brings you the charm of authentic Africa and is a perfect
blend of the formal and informal. At Lalibela, food is true
safari cuisine with an emphasis on local specialties, ranging
from centuries-old recipes to exciting contemporary African dishes.

REASONS TO VISIT LALIBELA
GAME RESERVE
There are good reasons to choose Lalibela
Game Reserve for your safari when you visit South Africa.
Excellent game viewing:
We are fortunate to be the only private
game reserve in the Eastern Cape that does not have any public
roads running through our property. In addition, we are
one of only 3 private game reserves in the Eastern Cape where
all of the animals, including the predators, are free-roaming
throughout the entire reserve.
Of the 6 vegetation types in
South Africa, 5 occur naturally on Lalibela. Of these, the
Valley Bushveld biome, which only occurs in the Eastern Cape,
has the highest carrying capacity of game in South Africa.
For this reason Lalibela is able to sustain a dense population
of wildlife. Big5 sightings occur regularly and other game
such as zebra, giraffe, antelope, hippo, cheetah etc are abundant.
Location:
Our location in the Eastern Cape region of South
Africa makes us a perfect extention to the Garden Route and Cape
Town. Cape Town and Port Elizabeth airports allow visitors
to South Africa to save precious holiday time - many of our guests
fly into Cape Town, drive along the Garden Route and end with
a safari at Lalibela. Check out time at Lalibela allows
for guests to fly out of Port Elizabeth and connect with international
flights from either Cape Town or Johannesburg, which depart in
the evenings.
The popularity of doing a safari
in the Eastern Cape has grown and this is borne out by the fact
that our region boasts a variety of safari products such as Addo
Elephant National Park, Shamwari, Kwandwe, Gorah, Kariega and
Amakhala.
 
Malaria-free:
Increasingly people are choosing to have
their safari in a malaria-free area. The Eastern Cape is
malaria-free which means that your safari at Lalibela can be enjoyed
without having to take any anti-malaria medication.

Game drives:
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, lion, rhino and
buffalo to tiny blue duiker and rock hyrax. Lalibela is
also home to cheetah, hyena, hippo, giraffe, zebra, warthog and
numerous species of antelope, such as eland, kudu, bushbuck and
wildebeest. On thrilling night drives under the vast African
sky, we search for the elusive bat-eared fox, aardvark, black-backed
jackal, aardwolf and the curious spring hare.
Lalibela now comprises 7,500
hectares ( 18,500 acres) of valley bushveld, savannah grassland,
fynbos, riverine forest and acacia woodland. There are no
public roads running through the property and all the animals,
including the predators, roam freely throughout the entire
reserve. With the increase in the size of our property,
our carrying capacity has increased significantly to the extent
that we have been able to bring in more lion (a male and female
lion). In January 2006 we will be introducing another family
herd of elephant. We expect the male and female lion to
establish their own pride separate to our existing pride
of lion. The family herd of elephant are likely to meet
up with our resident herd from time to time, but the 2 herds of
elephant will spend most of their time apart from each other.
In addtion the family herd of elephant, we are also bringing in
another 2 large mature bull elephants.
We are also very pleased to be
reintroducing African wild dog at Lalibela. These highly endangered
mammals used to roam freely in the area before being hunted almost
to extinction in the late eighteen and early nineteen hundreds.
They are presently in a holding boma to get used to the area and
will be released onto the reserve in early January.
You get two
game drives for each night that you stay at Lalibela: one
in the late afternoon and one early the following morning.
