Please ask us before booking a Sabi Sands safari with accommodation

Day safaris without accommodation can be booked directly.

Lodges and camps can fill up to 6 months in advance. Contact Knap Tours first so we can check availability and confirm your accommodation before you book or pay.

We may propose a different lodge, or accommodation outside Sabi Sands with game drives conducted inside Sabi Sands. You will be informed in advance of any changes and may cancel free of charge if you do not accept them.

Trade the city for a night in Sabi Sands at Arathusa Safari Lodge. This compact two-day escape brings together a comfortable lodge stay, two guided game drives and arranged shuttle connections from Johannesburg through Hazyview.

From OR Tambo to your Sabi Sands stay

Begin with the shuttle from OR Tambo to Hazyview, then continue on a connecting transfer to Arathusa Safari Lodge. Lunch awaits at the lodge before you settle in and head into the reserve for a sunset game drive.

Two different moments in the bush

Spend the late afternoon searching for wildlife as the light softens across Sabi Sands. Return to Arathusa for dinner and your overnight stay. Rise early on day two for another game drive, when the bush has a different rhythm and there is a fresh chance to encounter the reserve's wildlife. Big Five sightings depend on nature and cannot be guaranteed.

A short safari with the return journey arranged

After your morning outing, transfer back to Hazyview and connect with the shuttle to Johannesburg. This package keeps the itinerary focused on the lodge and its game drives, with one night away.

Price and inclusions

US$1,400 per person sharing; the standard solo rate is US$1,960. One night at Arathusa Safari Lodge, day-one lunch and dinner, two game drives and the listed shuttle and lodge transfers are included. Lodge availability and connecting transfer arrangements are confirmed on request.
