Read about our recent visit to Arathusa Safari Lodge
Location:
Arathusa Safari Lodge
lies in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve that forms part of the Greater
Kruger National Park. It emcompasses 2,5 million unfenced hectares
of South African Bushveld, as pristine today as it was 1000 years
ago. The Big Five (lion, elephant, rhino, leopard and buffalo),
and various antelope roam at will – as they have done for centuries.
There are no fences. No tarred roads. No traffic. No canned entertainment.
There’s only an open Land Rover traversing dirt tracks, winding
among trees, surrounded by a bounty of birds and animals going
about their daily lives. Speed limits are imposed only by passing
animals! The Sabi Sand Game Reserve offers of the best quality
game viewing in the world.
Arathusa Safari Lodge borders to Simbambili
Game Lodge, Djuma Bush Lodge and Elephant Plains Game Lodge and
is situated 7 km from Mala Mala Main Lodge.
Arathusa has both standard rooms and luxurious
exclusive suites tucked into the untamed African bush.

Cuisine:
Meal
times are another African experience, whether breakfasting
alfresco under cool thatch or dining, in the spirit of Africa,
around a huge camp fire. You will experience gastronomic delights,
accompanied by the best wines.
After dinner Africa and her creatures provide the entertainment
– there’s none of the human kind – while you quietly sip a night
cap.
All meals are prepared by our experienced chef who caters for
all tastes.
Activities:
Two game drives
go out everyday. On the very early morning drive you are served
refreshments under a thorn tree and on the sunset drive, drinks
and snacks. You will view the animals face to face – in their
natural habitat. You are accompanied by a ranger who knows the
bush like the palm of his hand. His expert knowledge of the fauna
and flora makes the experience that much more enriching. A bush
walk rounds off the intimate experience that is Arathusa Safari
Lodge.
