Lalibela Game Reserve Children's Programme

Lalibela for Kids

Lalibela for Kids

Since open­ing, Lalibela were aware that there is a huge demand for fam­il­ies want­ing a safari hol­i­day in a malaria-free area. Lalibela's loc­a­tion makes it 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 Lalibela have looked at vari­ous pro­grammes cater­ing for fam­il­ies and have come up with a children's pro­gramme which optim­izes the safari exper­i­ence with qual­ity fam­ily time.

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.

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.

Breakfast is served and then it is time for the activ­it­ies of the morn­ing — with a snack in hand, they’re off with their game ranger in their own spe­cial vehicle on a short game drive tak­ing care to avoid any close encoun­ters with dan­ger­ous game. After the adults game drive and brunch, there is time for the fam­ily to spend together – there’s the play­ground with jungle gym and sand­pit or many games to play.

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. Time before bed is spent listen­ing to excit­ing stor­ies of Africa, its people and the wild­life. During all this time the chil­dren are looked after by accom­plished child mind­ers while their par­ents enjoy their even­ing game drive and din­ner back at the lodge.
