It was our first visit to Areena and would definitely recommend it to other people. We were on a camping spot and the view was fantastic. Peacefull, quiet and beautiful! Loved the animals popping in to say high.

The owners of Areena Riverside Resort & Private Game Reserve, Ed & Karen Rathbone have turned this oasis into something special and certainly deserve their 4 star rating. They have certainly added so many amenities for old and young to enjoy such as canoeing, kayaking. abseiling, archery, hiking, 4 wheelers and game drives with their well-trained tour guides. Fishing and birdlife is also abundant. The highlight is the variety of animal species found in the reserve. The Areena Riverside Resort & Private Game Reserve is safe and secure. The Park offers excellent camping, as well as, Chalets as standard accommodation and also offer storage facilities on site. The Restuarant is well equipped and offers set menus to suit their patrons and offer pensioner discounts on Sundays.

Overall experience was fun and enjoyable. The main bedroom bed (CM2) was hard, a bit saggy and low. Please send us the kids ziplining pics taken by your guides as promised. The outdoor braai grill was rusty and the braai itself can do with some cleaning.

The location is beautiful and peaceful, however it’s costly for the value you get. There are no complimentary discounts or activities offered alongside being a guest on the property, unlike most accommodations within the price range I’ve visited. The giraffe activity is amazing, just costly when you’re 2 people and you’re unable to do most activities when you’re not 4 or 6 in a group. Not easily recommended for a couples trip.
