Kichaka Lodge

Set within the malaria-free Lalibela Game Reserve in South Africa’s Eastern Cape, Lalibela Kichaka Lodge offers an intimate and luxurious safari experience surrounded by pristine wilderness. The lodge’s spacious, thatched suites are tucked into the natural landscape, each with a private deck overlooking the surrounding bush and a secluded plunge pool, creating a wonderful sense of privacy and tranquillity.

Days are centred around exhilarating morning and afternoon game drives with experienced guides, exploring the reserve’s varied habitats in search of Africa’s iconic wildlife. Lalibela is home to the Big Five, as well as giraffe, zebra, antelope and an impressive array of birdlife, with each outing offering the chance for memorable and often unexpected encounters. Back at the lodge, relax beside the pool, enjoy delicious meals inspired by fresh local ingredients, or gather around the fire as the sounds of the bush unfold around you. With its combination of elegant accommodation, excellent wildlife viewing and warm hospitality, Kichaka provides a wonderfully secluded introduction to safari in South Africa.
