Arathusa Safari Lodge

Sabi Sand, South Africa

About Arathusa Safari Lodge

Arathusa Safari Lodge is located in the Northern Sabi Sand, offering a reliable and well-regarded safari experience. The lodge sits on the edge of a large waterhole, providing a constant parade of wildlife throughout the day, which can be viewed from the lodge’s main deck. The accommodation is comfortable and refined, with private suites that look out over the bushveld. The reserve is famous for its excellent Big Five sightings, and the guiding team is highly skilled at locating predators. Arathusa is known for its open, welcoming atmosphere and its high standard of service, making it a very popular choice for travellers seeking a quality, professional safari at a more approachable price point than the ultra-luxurious lodges in the vicinity.

Why we like it

The waterhole directly in front of the lodge is a major draw, ensuring constant wildlife activity even when you are relaxing at the camp.
