Stone-flagged floors, thatched roofs and elegant wooden furniture give Arathusa Safari Lodge its distinctive, unpretentious feel. Everything is simple, yet stylish and very comfortable. The public areas are open-plan and open-sided, overlooking the hippo pool right in front of the lodge, bringing Africa right to your doorstep. Arathusa has thankfully bucked the trend amongst safari lodges to load themselves with ever more luxuries, instead opting for unpretentious comfort, which makes it an incredibly relaxing place, and also makes it one of the most affordable private lodges.
