Macatoo - Botswana

Riding Safari

5 star rating 1 July 2019

Adam (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) Trip of a lifetime | yes, the horses were incredibly kind and well trained and SAFE. Tack (saddles) could be slightly more comfortable, but were certainly suitable.

How could we improve the quality of pre-holiday information that we send?

closer/more accurate weather info - particularly related to the fact it was dry as a bone, and we did not need any of our rain gear.[ITS Comment - the recommended rain gear is usually needed at this time of year due to riding during the flood (not because of rain). However 2019 is a particularly dry year in Botswana, and the flood arrived incredibly low and late, meaning riders did not get as wet as usual].
