Expert Tips – Arathusa Safari Lodge with Siyeza Safari

• Waterhole Advantage – Choose a suite with a view of the large dam, where wildlife gathers daily. From your private deck, you might see elephants drinking, hippos basking, or even a stealthy predator approaching for an ambush.
• Photography Paradise – Sabi Sand’s open safari vehicles and expert guides ensure unobstructed views and incredible photography opportunities, whether you’re capturing a majestic lion at sunrise or a herd of elephants silhouetted against the setting sun.
• Pack Smart – Bring neutral-colored clothing, binoculars, and a good camera to make the most of your safari experience. Evenings can be cool, so a light jacket is recommended for early morning and evening game drives.
