SOUTH AFRICA
EASTERN CAPE, PORT ELIZABETH and ADDO REGION
Lalibela Wildlife Reserve is located in the malaria-free Eastern Cape Province of South Africa, close to Port Elizabeth and Addo Elephant National Park. The reserve spans over 5 ecosystems, resulting in a breathtaking diversity of flora and fauna. Lalibela is proud to be part of a cluster of photographic safari game reserves in the Eastern Cape. Together, they make up the Indalo Protected Environment, which is a legally protected conservation area.
Lalibela is a conservation project that currently consists of 10,500 hectares (approximately 26,000 acres) and is home to the Big 5 (lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo and leopard) as well as other predators such as cheetah, brown hyena, jackal and caracal. Often referred to as a Big 7 region, Lalibela’s prime location affords one the opportunity to view the Great White Shark and Southern Right Whale.
Due to vast areas of Savannah Grassland, this biome has by far the highest carrying capacity. This means the reserve is able to sustain vast herds of plains game such as zebra, impala, wildebeest, red hartebeest, blesbuck and eland.
An African safari is not complete without 3 primary components – exceptional game-viewing, bespoke accommodation and delicious, wholesome food. At Lalibela, we take special care to ensure that heartfelt service combines with these three “ingredients” to assure a memorable African safari experience.
