Our family of 5 stayed at Tree Tops over Christmas, and what a Christmas it was! We randomly found Lalibela as it was an easier flight from Capetown than Kruger. Our experience was magical. From arriving and having the staff greet us like they had been waiting for us for months to the beautiful lodging, to the top tier food and service, and the unforgettable, friendly, warm, welcoming staff. Sivi, our game drive Captain made our safaris amazing. Our first drive we saw lions and baby cheetahs and elephants. Thinking we couldn’t top that, the next morning we saw buffalo and rhinos and more elephants playing in the water. Each drive was more awe inspiring than the last.Sivi was an expert in all things animals but also made it so fun! He was born to do this. When we weren’t on game drives, we enjoyed hanging out and playing games and getting to know the rest of the amazing staff at Tree Tops. I can’t express enough how this experience bonded us and changed us and left us wanting to come back. We met another couple at the lodge (Christina and David) from Austria and now have 2 new members to our family. I can not imagine it being any more perfect and am forever grateful for this experience. It is a magical, beautiful,place. We will be back!
