Gqeberha

14 Feb 2026 - 15 Feb 2026

Set on Algoa Bay in South Africa’s Eastern Cape Province, Gqeberha is known as "the Friendly City" as well as "the Windy City". Gqeberha was established to home British settlers who were brought out on a government-sponsored programme to provide a buffer between the Cape Dutch and the Xhosa conflict. The little port grew from there and today it is the gateway to the beautiful Garden Route and serves as an excellent base to explore the Eastern Cape’s magnificent game reserves and pristine beaches. Visitors can explore the Addo Elephant National Park, just a short daytrip away, inhabited by hundreds of elephants and other wildlife. Climb the area’s largest dune at Maitland’s Beach, and jump on a boat tour to spot rare seabirds and whales.

Lalibela Wildlife Reserve

15 Feb 2026 - 18 Feb 2026

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.

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.
