Lalibela Game Reserve Tree Tops

Accommodation Description

Lalibela Game Reserve Tree Tops is a stunning tented safari camp located on a private Big 5 wildlife reserve in the scenic Eastern Cape province. Positioned at tree top level on thatched platforms, the luxurious safari tents are interconnected by elevated walkways, providing breathtaking views of the densely wooded valley. The five en-suite rooms, featuring canvas walls and thatched roofs, boast expansive windows that immerse guests in the bush experience. Each room includes a private verandah, offering a secluded space for guests to unwind and enjoy the surroundings.

The lodge also features a spacious lounge and an open-air dining deck overlooking a small waterhole, and guests can relax in the sun by the swimming pool or unwind in the shaded gazebo. The waterhole attracts regular visits from elephants, and a resident group of Nyala is often observed from the rooms and walkways, while bird enthusiasts may be delighted by sightings of the beautiful Knysna Loerie. For an optimal African safari experience, we recommend a stay of 2 or 3 nights.

Setting Description

Lalibela Game Reserve is a private wildlife concession in the Eastern Cape of South Africa, known for its exceptional, continuous, and self-sustaining expanse where various species roam freely. Unlike other reserves, Lalibela avoids separating lions, buffalos, and elephants into distinct enclosures, fostering a harmonious natural environment. Notably, Lalibela boasts more lions than visitors, and a strict policy on the number of vehicles per sighting ensures unparalleled wildlife encounters without disruptions.

The landscape itself contributes to Lalibela's uniqueness, with a prevalence of grassland savanna supporting an exceptionally high concentration of game, surpassing other Eastern Cape reserves. This abundance, combined with impressive numbers of plains game species, sustains a remarkable predator population. Furthermore, Lalibela stands out as one of the rare Eastern Cape reserves without public roads cutting through its vastness, guaranteeing an undisturbed and immersive experience in this extraordinary wildlife sanctuary.
