Wild Coast - South Africa

Wild Coast Adventure Trail

5 star rating   11 March 2023

Louisa who has been on 3 In The Saddle rides. Everything a riding holiday should be! | Endless canters along empty beaches, crossing tidal inlets, forward going and fit horses, super-comfy saddles and one of the best trail horses I have ever had the pleasure of riding - what's not to love!

Do you have any comments about the accommodation and food?

Accommodation is simple but very comfortable and the food excellent. As we tended to ride early in the morning we were at our lodges usually for a late lunch, with plenty of time to relax and explore, really making it feel like a holiday.

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

Flights were booked independently, but it would have been useful to know that when transferring from international to domestic flights you must pick up your luggage and re-check it in.
[In The Saddle notes - thank you for highlighting the need to collect luggage in Johannesburg and check-in again for East London].


How could we improve the way we handled your booking and payment?

None - everything was perfect.


Do you have any other feedback for us?

Having been privileged enough to ride in some extraordinary places around the world, this ride really is one of the best. Stunning scenery, exceptional horses, well paced riding and with enough downtime to kick back a little. Most of the people I rode with had ridden there multiple times, and I have a feeling I will also be one of them soon! Thank you Julie-Anne and the team, and In The Saddle for an exceptional holiday.
