The stay

A Lalibela lodge designed to make family safari easier

Mark's Camp is fenced, waterhole-facing and deliberately family friendly. Classic rooms, partitioned family rooms and a larger two-bedroom family suite let different party sizes stay within one lodge.

Who Mark’s Camp suits

It suits families with young children: the camp is discreetly fenced for their safety. Classic rooms take two adults and a child under seven, family rooms sleep four, and the family suite has two en-suite bedrooms for four adults and two children under 12. Children aged two and over can join safaris and a children’s programme, with child-minders for younger ones.
