The lodge has two room types, bush facing suites which has a private plunge pool and a water facing suites which overlooks a seasonal waterhole. Safari vehicles head into the bush twice a day with professional rangers and trackers, the safari is not just about the Big Five.
The smaller creatures and the multitude of birds and different species are as important and amazing to watch!

Arathusa Safari Lodge lies on an 868-hectare property. Traversing during game drives however takes place over an area of approximately 4000 hectares, due to reciprocal agreements with neighboring landowners. This does not affect the quality of the exclusive safari experience however, as there are very few vehicles to impact on the solitude enjoyed during game drives.

The landscape is rich and varied, comprising of open savannas, riverine thickets, river beds and lush bush vegetation ensure interesting sights around each corner. The perennial Manyeleti River meanders its way through the property.

We’ve have just come back from a 3 night stay at earth lodge. One word incredible. We got to see the big 5 and a lot more animals. The game drives were amazing. The Knowledge of the tracker (Donald) and our guide (Helen) was exceptional and they ensured we were able to see everything. We seen leopards, cheetahs and lions. You stop for a morning coffee out in the bush and sundowners in the evening, this was also excellently organised. The rooms are absolutely stunning with the biggest mini bar I’ve ever seen. The drink options are fantastic. Super comfortable rooms and luxurious. Food was superb. Each evening there was a different location for dinner excellently curated by the team at the hotel, with food prepared to a very high standard. We also used the gym facilities which were great. The service and operational standards at this hotel are exceptional. I would 100% stay at this lodge again it was such an incredible experience

What a memorable stay.
Our experience was perfect from start to finish. Booking the experience through Andy set the tone for the stress-free bush experience.
From the vanilla scented towels, to the delicious food, exciting game drives and phenomenal staff, our stay at Shiduli was magical from the second we arrived and lives in our hearts long after we left.
Your helpful staff greeted us as we arrived and and were with us every step of the way... literally. We were escorted to our private villa by Gary, who my children absolutely adored. Richard, in the bar was on form and Gogo Dorris had faith that we would see lions... which we did.
Thandy and Karen were friendly, professional and made us feel like old friends. We will definitely be back and will bring our friends and family so they can share in this beautiful gem.

Arathusa Reviews
We stayed at Arathusa for 3 nights, our room was bush facing and we loved it. Our ranger Jamie was very professional and the food was good. The game drives were the best we had after visiting 4 lodges. We are planning to visit Sabi Sands reserve again early next year.
