Ant's Lodges - South Africa

Sandra who has been on 3 In The Saddle rides. Fantastic experience. A very high standard of accommodation, food, activities, staff and guides. Well cared for horses with excellent temperaments. | Amazing experience!
We were riding for five to six hours a day and made comfortable by staff making sure the saddle was a correct fitting for each of us. Every day we rode a different trail, which combined meandering through the bush with plenty of exciting canters along sandy tracks. On all the rides we were accompanied by two friendly and expert guides (one in front and one behind), who were very knowledgeable about flora and fauna, and were always able to find the wild animals. They were very accommodating and made sure we got good photos opportunities. We were well matched with our horses and we were able to change to a different one if we felt like a change. It was obvious that the horses were well cared for and well trained for this environment. There were opportunities to do non riding activities such as the Night time Sky safari, with Dr Philip, which was truly inspiring. All staff at both Nest and Hill lodge were fantastic. We had the most exceptional stay and we are already planning our return.

Do you have any comments about the accommodation and food?

Beautifully presented accommodation, in a style which thoughtfully represented the environment. Each room had an on suite bathroom and a private balcony area. Both Ant Nest and Ants Hill mirrored the same look and same high standard. The attention to quality and detail was also reflected in meals, which were varied, tasty and beautifully presented. Each evening a chef would introduce you to the menu first,.
