The stay

Ten hillside villas with a quieter adult safari feel

Lentaba accommodates just twenty guests across five Classic and five Luxury villas. Private decks and elevated valley views make the lodge a calm alternative to more family-oriented safari properties.

Who Lentaba suits

It suits couples and adult travellers, as the lodge does not take children under 12. Each of the ten villas sleeps two adults and has a private deck: Classic villas have a spacious shower, and Luxury villas add a ball-and-claw bath. Lalibela reception is about 90 km, roughly an hour, from Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth).
