Tree Tops was fantastic

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 3 weeks ago
Absolutely loved Tree Tops at Lalibela. Everything was wonderful. The food and service was fantastic from the hot towels after the game drives, to the wood burning stoves in the lodge, to all the meals (so much food all made on site), to the kindness of all the staff. I appreciate that Lalibela is very focused on conservation and increasing the size of the reserve. The terrain is varied throughout the reserve (open plains, wooded valleys, hilly areas). We saw elephants, hippos, rhino, giraffes, hyenas, warthogs, herds of buffalo, zebras, many types of antelopes, cheetah, lions, and more (no leopards seen but there are only a couple in the entire park). Sundowners and coffee out during our game drives were wonderful with snacks and drinks and fantastic views. We also enjoyed our night drive and game walk. We felt very safe with our guide. I appreciated that our game drive guide was the same for our entire stay...thank you Ryno! Our guide was incredibly passionate and knowledgeable. We greatly appreciated the small feel of Tree Tops and the wonderful experience. Thank you.
Date of stay: September 2024
Room Tip: Bring snow caps and gloves and layers for chilly mornings/night game drives.
Trip type: Travelled with friends

I visited in 2015 (this is a late review, obvs). This place iwas amazing - you are treated incredibly well. I hope it's even better now. The food, the staff, the relaxation areas are fantastic. There was one person in particular, Joseph, who was sort like the go-to person maybe hospitality manager - he was great. There were 2 or 3 safaris a day, sunset cocktails, shots and hot warm towels when you get back to the lodge. AND we saw all the animals. The reserve is very big so you're in the open top car for a while often before you see the animal you might be interested in but you will. It's well organised. You won't be disappointed. Hopefully you get a nice group for the car - we were lucky!

Thank you for your 5 star review of Lalibela Game Reserve! Many things have changed since 2015 from the eradication of alien vegetation to the refurbishing of all the lodges. The Big 5 game viewing experience is a highlight of any stay with us. We hope to have you visit us again and see all the changes.

Our first Safari and what a fantastic experience. We arrived later than expected, but were greeted with a superb welcome, nothing appeared to be of any trouble. The lodge staff, too many to name were all fantastic throughout our 5 night stay.
Craig, our Safari guide was really good. Found, by tracking, loads of the animals, and always kept a respectful distance from them. At no time did we feel vulnerable.
We have memories that will last our lifetimes, and if we ever want to do a Safari again it will likely be at Lentaba Lodge, Lalibela.

The only thing I might consider different is to bring a zoom lens camera, the phone didn’t quite cut it.

It far exceeded our expectations. see the animals roam freely amazing. The facility was clean and the staff was the best. The room was 5 stars, you could not ask for more. We saw all the big five, no out side vehicles allowed on property, no public roads. Ticha was an amazing ranger, he made sure we were always safe and comfortable.
