The way the original safari was intended. http://www.arathusa.co.za

It's a great time for herbivores. With the recent downpours, the grass and trees have filled out and become more dense, which means plenty of food! This kudu bull certainly looks satisfied.

There is nothing quite like the tranquillity and promise of early mornings in the bush. Begin your day with a thrilling morning game drive, witnessing the bush come alive with the dawn, followed by a sumptuous bush breakfast. Work off your feast with a guided bush walk, immersing yourself in the intricate detail of the wilderness.

The endearing confidence of youth. Kuchava’s cubs, now between seven and eight months old, are slowly learning the ways of the wild. The female (shown here) is a little bolder than her shy brother ❤️

After days of cleansing rain, the sky ignited in a spectacle of a sunset! Sundowners in the wild under heavens like this are a very big part of your safari.

Being in awe is a very high state of being.

The natural beauty that is Tlalamba, impeccably captured.

As the sun sets, the African bush comes alive.
Indulge in private dinners beneath a starlit sky, savor traditional boma feasts accompanied by the nocturnal symphony, and embark on evening game drives to experience the vibrant nightlife of the Sabi Sand Reserve.

The unique exhilaration of a night-time safari...

These incredible shots of Nhenhe during one of these evening game drive goes to show how unique it is to experience the bush at different times of the day, gaining a different perspective of life in the wild at the same time.

What is more eye-catching; leopard or aardvark?

We found Watika perched high in a tree, safe from the threat of scavengers. And this was no ordinary meal - the wily cat had caught herself a very rare creature indeed.

The Imbali lionesses had a successful hunt. We found them on their zebra kill, and earned a menacing stare from one of the formidable predators.

Caught in (and by) cold blood. In this spectacular sighting, we came upon a python tightly coiled around an impala in a vice-like grip, beginning the slow process of consuming it.

What a Christmas Tree looks like in our world, decorated with nests 🪺

A very merry Christmas from Africa, on the bank of our enchanted waterhole.

Looks like it truly is a summer of (leopard) love! We spotted Mondzo and Mzemba mating on a recent game drive. We don't often get to see them in these parts, as they come from the eastern Sabi Sand and Kruger Park regions, so this was a noteworthy moment.

He quickly swooped into action today to calm down the fight between Langa and her mother, Sibuye. The brawl started when Sibuye trespassed into Langa's territory, and thankfully didn't escalate further due to Tortoise Pan's authoritative intervention. 📹 Guest, Sophie Van Sonsbeek #arathusa #arathusasafarilodge #LuxurySafariLodge #luxurysafari #southafrica #wildlife #wildlifephotography #leopard #big5
