had a wonderful stay at Lalibela. the most friendly staff and i cannot praise Rudy enough for finding us 4 of the big five and all his interesting information about the bush. We went on a South African special which was a great discount. New owners have just taken over and are making a lot of improvements to the place. For the full price I would have found the place a little tired. Food was average except for the chicken al a king we had at one meal. I am a non red meat eater and was told i would be catered for but on the second night the choice was beef or pork which was disappointing. On the special we received a glass of wine with lunch and wine at dinner which I felt was a nice touch. there is a waterhole on the property and a lion was seen drinking just before we arrived.

We had a fabulous time, the accommodation was perfect, no problems at all. Our ranger Sarah was extremely caring and her knowledge was exceptional. We had five game drives of over 3hrs each and saw all the game we could possibly have wished for. We have been raving about Lalibela to everyone we know and would love to return. We particularly liked the way Sarah allowed the animals to approach our vehicle, absolutely splendid. All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the food was super.

This game reserve delivered on all accounts. The accommodation was perfect with clean, well designed lodges. The Staff were friendly and helpful and attended to all the visitors with warmth. The food was amazing and plentiful! Game drives were spectacular, with experienced and enthusiastic Rangers.
