Mark’s Camp is our family-friendly lodge – it has 8 stone & thatch chalets, decorated in a relaxed Pan-African style, and it can accommodate up to 18 adults and 8 children.
Blessed with a large waterhole in front of the lodge, it is not uncommon for guests to see antelope, giraffe, elephant and predators coming to the waterhole!
Lalibela Game Reserve consists of 7,500 hectares (approximately 18,500 acres) and is home to the Big 5 (lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo & leopard). Lalibela is unique in the Eastern Cape in that we have no public roads running through our property. All of the animals, including the predators, are free-roaming throughout the entire reserve.
Lalibela Game Reserve is also home to cheetah, hyena, hippo, giraffe, zebra, warthog and numerous species of antelope, such as eland, kudu, bushbuck and wildebeest.
The stone and thatch chalets and main lodge of Mark's Camp are decorated in a relaxed Pan-African style.
The lodge sleeps up to 20 guests in four individual chalets and four family chalets. Each comfortably furnished chalet has an en-suite bathroom and air-conditioning for those warm summer nights.
The chalets open up onto a private deck with views over the surrounding bush.
At Lalibela, food is authentic safari cuisine with an emphasis on local specialities, ranging from centuries-old recipes to exciting new contemporary African dishes.
The outdoor dining "boma" has a commanding view of a waterhole which is spotlit after dark for night game viewing. There is also a stylish indoor dining area. Brunch is served al fresco on the main viewing deck.
Between game drives, guests can relax in the large lounge, bird watch from the viewing decks or laze around the swimming pool.
Mark's Camp has an outdoor dining "boma" for fireside dinners and outdoor brunches, as well as a gracious indoor dining area.
Game drives in an open vehicle with an experienced game ranger bring you face to face with a multitude of game species, ranging from mighty elephant, lion, rhino and buffalo to tiny blue duiker and rock hyrax.
On thrilling night drives under the vast African sky, we search for the elusive bat-eared fox, aardvark, black-backed jackal, aardwolf and the curious spring hare.
Lalibela Marks Camp is most certainly child and family-friendly welcoming kids of all ages.
