You would be hard pushed to find a better place to stay in Sabi Sand. The location by the waterhole is superb and the staff are excellent. Jason, our ranger, made a real effort to get to know everybody's name and use it throughout our stay. The food was excellent and the accommodation spacious. The game drives were the most... more

We stayed at Arathusa for 4 nights of our trip to SA. It was brilliant - I am from Africa but haven't seen too many leopards in the wild and this was my main aim of the stay. We weren't disappointed! And the greatest thing I liked was our enthusiasm was matched by the staff - they were just as... more

We were pleasantly surprised by Arathusa. The locations is amazing - at a waterhole in the Sabi Sands area. The rondovelles are huge - we even had a king sized bed and mosquito netting that were both unexpected. The beds were turned down every night with a local flower on the bed. Special. Indoor shower, outdoor shower and a tub!!... more

Had phenomenal three day stay that was flawless. Friendly helpful staff - clean rooms - great drives - saw all the game. Other places charge more but you're here for the wildlife from a great lodge! The watering hole on site offered a daily parade of animals. Arathusa or stay home!!!! more

I was looking for a nice place to go on safari in the Kruger Park area, and the Trip Advisor reviews led me to choose the Arathusa Safari Lodge from all the myriad choices available there. Boy, was I NOT disappointed! Lions, Leopards, Hyena, Wart Hogs, Elephants, Giraffe, Cape Buffalo, Rhinos, and on and on! Unbelievable photo opportunities. The guides... more

My husband and I and 2 friends stayed at Arathusa for 4 nights. It was a truly amazing experience. The little thatched chalets were so comfortable and much more spacious than they first appeared. Every comfort was there. The game drives were wonderful and we are so grateful to Ryan and Maurice for showing us the big 5 along with... more

We stayed at the Arathusa for 4 nights which included New Years Eve, we had a great time. The camp itself has many positives: it is a great location in the Sabi Sands (excellent game viewing), it is so peaceful (apart from the frogs!!) and is in a beautiful setting (right on the edge of a water-hole where a hippo... more

I would highly recommend this lodge to anyone looking to experience a true safari in South Africa. I selected Arathusa based on the positive reviews on Tripadvisor and was absolutely delighted! Our first drive was exhilarating and we saw all of the Big 5. The staff is very friendly and the food was excellent. There were several couples on their... more
