Lalibela Game Reserve's location in the Eastern Cape means it is not only malaria free, but spans 5 ecosystems (valley bushveld, savannah grassland, fynbos, riverine forest and acacia woodland), resulting in a breath-taking diversity of plants, animals and birds.Lalibela brings you the charm of authentic Africa and is a perfect blend of the formal and informal. Lalibela has 3 lodges - Lentaba Lodge, Mark's Camp and Tree Tops - all offering decor that is infused with the essence of Africa, as well as warm and friendly service and unforgettable game viewing. At Lalibela food is true safari cuisine with an emphasis on local specialties, ranging from centuries-old recipes to exciting contempory African dishes. Accommodation rates at Lalibela are fully inclusive of all meals, game drives as well as all drinks (excluding premium wines).
Wildlife in Lalibela Game Reserve
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 comprises 7,500 hectares (18,500 acres) of valley bushveld, savannah grassland, fynbos, riverine forest and acacia woodland. 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). We expect these two to establish their own pride separate to our existing pride of lion.
In July 2006 a second family herd of elephant was introduced. The herd is 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. We are also very pleased to have reintroduced 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 were previously held in a holding boma to get used to the area and were released onto the reserve in early January.
