For the 8th year running, Lalibela Game Reserve in the Eastern Cape is offering South Africans the opportunity to experience Big 5 game viewing at their luxury lodges at a fraction of the cost. In addition, they have also partnered up with properties in Knysna, Tsitsikamma and Addo to offer locals affordable combination packages. 

These packages include Lalibela & Belvidere Manor in Knysna, Lalibela & Tsitsikamma Village Inn and Lalibela & Camp Figtree in Addo.

“There are certain times of the year that are traditionally quieter than others,” says Vernon Wait of Lalibela, “during these times we generally offer overnight stays and packages at discounted rates, but we like to offer South Africans in particular even lower rates”

The game reserve’s location in the Eastern Cape (just under an hours drive from Port Elizabeth) means that it is not only malaria free, but spans 5 ecosystems resulting in a breath-taking diversity of animal and plant life.

Early morning and sunset game drives in an open vehicle with an experienced game ranger bring guests face to face with a multitude of game species, ranging from mighty lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo and leopard to tiny blue duiker and rock hyrax. Lalibela is also home to cheetah, hyena, giraffe, zebra, warthog and numerous species of antelope.

The lodges at Lalibela bring guests the charm of authentic Africa and are a perfect blend of the formal and informal. Décor is infused with the essence of Africa, the service is warm and friendly and the game viewing brilliant! At both Lentaba Lodge and Mark’s Camp, the secluded thatch and stone chalets are placed where magnificent indigenous gardens merge into the surrounding bush.

So, if you need ideas of what to do this winter, why not head to the Garden Route and Eastern Cape for an affordable luxury break?

These offers are valid through to 30 September 2013 - contact Lalibela for further details.
