Lalibela Mills Manor

Mills Manor is a historic 100-year-old Edwardian farmhouse, offering an exclusive-use villa experience that provides an idyllic and private safari retreat for families and small groups. The villa’s relaxed, home-away-from-home atmosphere is enhanced by its traditional architectural features—gables, high ceilings, large rooms, and a wide wrap-around veranda—reflecting the grandeur of the region’s stately farmhouses built during the wool and ostrich feather boom.

Set on a hill overlooking the valley, Mills Manor allows game viewing right from the villa, where the Big Five and other wildlife roam freely throughout Lalibela. The villa is fully staffed with a dedicated private safari guide and exclusive game vehicle, alongside a private chef and a highly attentive service team, all committed to delivering a seamless, personalized, and unforgettable safari experience tailored exclusively for you.

Inside, guests enjoy a well-stocked bar, spacious lounge, and elegant dining room. Outside, a large swimming pool, sun deck, firepit, and barbecue area provide perfect spots to relax. The five air-conditioned bedrooms (3 king rooms and 2 king/twin rooms) each open onto private verandas set within indigenous gardens, offering breathtaking valley views. Mills Manor comfortably accommodates up to 10 guests for an unforgettable safari experience.
