Perched on the bank of a waterhole in the magnificent Sabi Sand Game Reserve, is the luxurious Arathusa Safari Lodge. Dotted amongst the pristine wilderness of the reserve, beautifully-decorated luxury rooms include lovely en-suite bathrooms (with baths, indoor and alfresco showers), air-conditioning, private verandas and sweeping views of the glassy waterhole. Only eight waterhole facing suites have a view of the waterhole. The four bush-facing suites are remote and have their own pools, but no views.
