South Africa Safaris and Tours

Since opening, we have become aware that there is a huge demand for families wanting a safari holiday in a malaria-free area. Lalibela's location makes us ideal for adults travelling with children who are wanting to combine a family safari with the Garden Route and Cape Town.

Over the last 12 months we have looked at various programmes catering for families and have come up with a children's programme, which we feel optimizes the safari experience with quality family time.

My Suitcase

Breakfast is served and then it is time for the activities of the morning starting with a short game drive with their own game ranger and in their own special game viewing vehicle, taking care to avoid any close encounters with the dangerous game.

The middle of the day makes time for the family to spend together.

Before the adults go out on their afternoon game drive, high tea is served for both adults and children.
After heading out on their afternoon game drive, the children return to the lodge for an early dinner before getting creative with some arts and crafts activities.

Each family is different and children require varying degrees of attention, which is why the emphasis at Lalibela is to be as flexible as possible to ensure memorable family holidays.

An overview of our children's programme is as follows:

In the early morning Lalibela's child minders come on duty so that parents can leave for their morning game drive. The children are given a chance to wake up, get dressed and be ready for the day. Parents are welcome to stay behind and accompany their children on the kiddies game drive.
