7-Day Classic Big5 Sabi Sand & Klaser...

>> We depart Johannesburg with a packed breakfast en route to the famous Sabi Sands Game Reserve. As we approach Gowrie Gate, the entrance to Sabi Sands, we experience the scenic landscapes passing through the local villages.

Arathusa Safari Lodge is unique and highly sought-after by visitors because of its prime location within the Sabi Sands Reserve, adjacent to the unfenced Kruger National Park. Together, these 2 areas comprise one of South Africa’s most incredible and pristinely preserved wilderness sanctuaries.

Upon arrival at Arathusa Safari Lodge, you'll be welcomed with a refreshing drink and taken to your luxury safari suite. Once you have settled in, lunch is served on the deck overlooking the waterhole.

Embark on your first thrilling Big 5 game drive in an open-top 4x4 Land Cruiser with your ranger guide and tracker in search of African wild animals.

Dinner is served under the African skies.

The gate entry fees are included (Sabi Sands conservation fees are excluded).

>> You will rise early to meet your guide and tracker for coffee and tea at the main lodge.

Arathusa offers game drives in an open safari vehicle, conducted in the early morning and late afternoon every day. The drives are in search of animals - both large and small. This means that about 8 hours of every day are spent in this natural sanctuary in search of the creatures who call it home.

Experienced, knowledgeable and personable rangers are paired with local trackers, and together, they ensure a first-class safari experience. Close encounters are guaranteed, and the animals are not threatened by the vehicles' presence thanks to sound conservation management policies. Expect one-of-a-kind photographic opportunities of the Big Five and much more, including over 300 bird species.

Guided walks with an armed ranger can also be arranged. Being on foot affords a unique and altogether different view of the bush.

End the day with some pre-dinner drinks and dinner under the African skies.
