Love To Explore Rating: Premium 

Arathusa offers a luxurious safari experience unlike any other. Wildlife sightings often begin from the moment guests arrive, as the property overlooks a large watering hole which draws plenty of animals. The Sabi Sands Game Reserve is well known for its high density of big cats and is also home to the Big 5, making it a fantastic place for first-time safari goers looking to experience a wide variety of wildlife. After an exhilarating day exploring the bush with expert rangers on game drives or guided walks, guests can unwind in your spacious, modern suite or by the infinity pool. There are two varieties of guest rooms; water facing and bush facing. Both are very spacious, while the bush-facing rooms also enjoy private plunge pools. Arathusa is an excellent location to stay for fantastic wildlife sightings with excellent guiding and comfortable, spacious accommodation.

At Love To Explore we would recommend the resort for these unique selling points:

  • Overlooks a large watering hole 
  • Excellent guides 
  • Contemporary, spacious accommodation

FAQs

Why book a tailor-made holiday with a luxury travel specialist?

The best trips feel effortless, but behind every seamless journey is thoughtful planning and genuine expertise. A luxury travel specialist brings first-hand destination knowledge, trusted recommendations and personalised service to every itinerary, ensuring your holiday is shaped around you. From choosing the finest hotels and experiences to managing all the finer details, tailor-made travel allows you to make the most of your time away without the stress of organising it yourself.

What types of holidays do you specialise in?

Love To Explore specialises in thoughtfully crafted journeys designed entirely around each individual traveller. From slow, sun-drenched escapes on idyllic Indian Ocean islands to immersive, adventure-led safaris through the African wilderness, every trip is shaped by personal style and pace. While Africa and the Indian Ocean remain at the heart of what we do, our trusted network of local experts allows us to extend far beyond, opening the door to extraordinary destinations across the globe.

How far in advance should I book a holiday?

There is no single rule when it comes to booking your next escape, as every journey is completely bespoke. Whether you’re planning a special milestone trip years in advance or seeking a spontaneous last-minute escape, we can help shape it at any stage. That said, for the best choice of boutique lodges and the most sought-after properties, we recommend beginning the planning process around nine months to a year ahead, allowing the widest possible access to availability and experiences. For certain safari lodges and iconic seasonal moments, such as Japan’s cherry blossom season, we would advise planning up to two years in advance.
