Macatoo - Botswana

Riding Safari

5 star rating   22 May 2022

Lorraine who has been on 3 In The Saddle rides. Absolutely amazing ! | Once you had learned how to ride them on a long rein, grazing as and when they wanted, and heads were straight down when they stopped they were great. They were all very responsive and a pleasure to ride. Due to the length of time in the saddle it was also helpful to lengthen your stirrups a bit to help with knee and ankle strains.

Do you have any comments about the accommodation and food?

Showers were only luke warm at best in daytime and not much better in the evening, not sure what could be done with that? The honeymoon suite had hot water all the time, perhaps they are on a different system.
[Becky from In The Saddle replies: Thank you so much for letting us know about the water. We've passed the comments onto Macatoo and they have been able to fix the water issue. The water is heated by a solar system but there were a number of tree braches in the geyser. These have now been removed and the foliage has been trimmed back to prevent this happening again.]
