Accommodation: Arathusa Safari Lodge
This elegant bush lodge has five chalets and is one of the best of the private lodges in close proximity to the Kruger National Park. The camp is situated on a riverbank overlooking a dam where game often gathers at a nearby waters edge.
After a cup of coffee, the morning starts off with a game drive at 06:30 in an open 4x4 vehicle. Subsequently breakfast is served and at 11:00 a guided bush walk is offered, highlighting the wonderful fauna and flora of the area. A second game drive, which extends into the night, commences in the afternoon, and at sundown drinks can be enjoyed in carefully selected spots in the bush. Dinner is served in a boma around a fire, under the vast African sky. Game guides accompany guests to their chalets, as the camp is not fenced in.
This lodge offers a unique wildlife experience. The likelihood of seeing the big five and other infrequently seen game at close quarters far exceeds that of state owned reserves.
All rooms have air-conditioning and mosquito netting. The lodge also has a swimming pool.
