The programme

Day 1 – At the Lentaba Safari Lodge, in the heart of the savanna * Your safari camp is located on a hill in the heart of the Lalibela reserve, with 8 chalets immersed in nature with a traditional straw roof. * Get to know the colors of the landscape, and in the afternoon, you'll head out into the plains of the reserve in your fully open 4x4 in the company of a local ranger. At sunset, the sky will look like it's on fire, and the sounds will be amplified: that's the Big Five preparing for nightfall - get ready for the most exciting encounter ever! * Africa will continue to amaze you when evening arrives, and from the private terrace of your chalet, the starry sky will leave you speechless.

Day 2 – Searching for the “big five” in the Lalibela reserve * The 7,500 hectares of the Lalibela reserve await you at dawn: you'll cross them in your 4x4, passing great herds of zebras, wildebeests, impalas and antelopes. Then the exploration continues, as you search for Africa's 5 biggest wild animals: lion, elephant, rhinoceros, buffalo and leopard. Have you managed to spot them all? * In the afternoon, you'll get ready to return to the ship with something extra: your memories of the excitement that you felt during your stay in Africa.
