Ant's Lodges - South Africa

Ant's Nest

5 star rating   2 December 2022

Bob who has been on 13 In The Saddle rides. Just Fab! | All of the horses were lovely; even Morocco who I fell off after he went from fast canter to dead stop after grounding himself in the sand!

The tack was in good condition and very comfortable.

The guides were AMAZING 🙂 Very knowledgable with good senses of humour and could spot an animal a mile away!

Do you have any comments about the accommodation and food?

I had a lovely double room which was very clean and had all I needed. The bed was comfortable with a nice big bath in the bathroom.

The food was yummy! I do not eat meat and I was very well catered for. The afternoon cakes were delicious, not that I was ever hungry, I managed to force a slice down every day! The house wines were (very) drinkable and no hangovers! 🙂

Do you have any other feedback for us?

I have been on a few riding holidays with ITS and I'm in love with this one; so much so, I returned home in December 2022 and I am going back in March 2023!
The teams dedication to wildlife made me cry on several occassions; it is truly humbling.
We were very privileged to spent time with Ant; he even invited us to his house to watch SA v England in the rugby; a lovely evening (apart from the result!)
Amanda is very friendly, efficient and approachable whist remaining highly professional; not an easy balance but she pulls it off with apparent easy. Binke and Taryn were also lovely. The onsite shop is well stocked and priced. With special thanks to Seth who looked after me when an existing injury flared up. I am counting down the days to my return.....I am no doubt boring my friends and family about this holiday as I talk about it often; but Ant's has really got under my skin x
[Becky from In The Saddle replies: Thank you very much for your feedback. I'm so pleased you had such a wonderful holiday 🙂 ]
