Setting Description

Lalibela Game Reserve is considered a distinctive jewel in the Eastern Cape of South Africa, characterised by its exceptional, unbroken, and self-sufficient expanse where diverse species roam freely. In contrast to other reserves, Lalibela avoids segregating lions, buffalos, and elephants into separate enclosures, fostering a harmonious natural environment. Notably, Lalibela has more lions than game viewing vehicles and a strict policy on the number of vehicles per sighting guarantees unparalleled wildlife encounters without disruptions.

The landscape itself adds to Lalibela's uniqueness, as the prevalence of grassland savanna supports an exceptionally high concentration of game, surpassing other Eastern Cape reserves. This abundance, coupled with impressive numbers of plains game species, sustains a remarkable predator population. Moreover, Lalibela stands out as one of the rare Eastern Cape reserves with no public roads cutting through its vastness, ensuring an undisturbed and immersive experience in this extraordinary wildlife sanctuary.
