Wonderful vacation!

We had a wonderful vacation! Arathusa was great. We loved the unit, it was very luxurious, beautifully decorated, and we particularly appreciated the private pool for cooling off in the middle of the very hot days (mid 40's C) and the outdoor shower. It was so cool to shower outside with just a couple of antelope staring back at you from the bush! The Lodge was fine, though definitely a notch or two below the Lion Sands River Lodge (where we had just come from, but Lion Sands is significantly more expensive) in terms of service. The game drives were very good, and our ranger was excellent. We saw everything we wanted, including multiple leopards that we hadn't seen at Lion Sands, cheetahs (their first sighting for almost 2 months), and a very rare sighting of African Wild Dogs. The arrangements worked fine. The transfers were on time, but the vehicle bringing us from Lion Sands to Arathusa had no functioning air conditioning, which made for a very hot drive. That was the only blemish, really.
