We've just come back from a 3 night (4 day) stay at the Lentaba Lodge at Lalibela. It was an amazing experience. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful, our guide was incredibly knowledgeable (not just about the Big 5 either) and really helped to make our stay memorable. Loved the food and the accommodation. I understand the new owners have plans for some improvements (some furniture and artwork from a local artist), but it's pretty good right now!
We were also impressed by the reserve's attitude to conservation, their protection and care for their native plants and animals. I think it shows their commitment to long term sustainable tourism and should be applauded. We were lucky enough to see LOADS of animals and spend some time sitting quietly very close to them. The elephants in particular were a completely unforgettable experience. Thank you to Rudy, our guide, for making that happen.
Love to go back - maybe for a walking tour?
