Vivien who has been on 41 In The Saddle rides. Making memories | We had some wonderful game viewing, I couldn't believe how relaxed the game were, just kept on chewing the grass and letting us watch them close up. We had some full on long, speedy canters along the tracks and went for a swim with the horses but, best of all, we took part in an impromptu game capture session, complete with helicopter (vet hanging off the side with his dart gun at the ready). I'm not sure how helpful I was but it was the best fun ever! So exciting and different from any other riding experience I've ever had. That memory will last with me forever, seriously good fun, and we actually caught some of the intended game as well, which always helps!

I have a strong feeling I'll be back. The staff were so friendly and charming, with a real focus on service but not heavy-handed with it. It all hit the right tone. That combined with a beautiful location and fab riding made it a great holiday (I can see why Ants Lodges get so many repeat guests).
