General Information:

The Lalibela Marks Camp location in the Eastern Cape region of South Africa makes the camp a perfect extension to the Garden Route and Cape Town. Cape Town and Port Elizabeth airports allow visitors to South Africa to save precious holiday time - many of our guests fly into Cape Town, drive along the Garden Route and end with a safari at Lalibela. Check out time at Lalibela allows for guests to fly out of Port Elizabeth and connect with international flights from either Cape Town or Johannesburg, which depart in the evenings. The popularity of doing a safari in the Eastern Cape has grown and this is borne out by the fact that our region boasts a variety of safari products such as Addo Elephant National Park, Shamwari, Kwandwe, Gorah, Kariega, Amakhala and, of course, Lalibela.

Accommodation:

The stone and thatch chalets and main lodge of Mark’s Camp are decorated in a relaxed Pan-African style. This 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.

Dining:

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 open-air brunches, as well as a gracious indoor dining area.

Activities:

Lalibela Game Reserve are fortunate to be the only private game reserve in the Eastern Cape that does not have any public roads running through our property. In addition, we are one of only 3 private game reserves in the Eastern Cape where all of the animals, including the predators, are free-roaming throughout the entire reserve. Of the 6 vegetation types in South Africa, 5 occur naturally on Lalibela. Of these, the Valley Bushveld biome, which only occurs in the Eastern Cape, has the highest carrying capacity of game in South Africa. For this reason, Lalibela is able to sustain a dense population of wildlife. Big 5 sightings occur regularly and other game such as zebra, giraffe, antelope, hippo, cheetah, hyena etc are abundant.
