Ant's Lodges - South Africa

Lodge Stay

5 star rating   13 April 2025

Gemma (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) Amazing!! | Had not ridden properly for over 30 years.(except 6 lessons before holiday). Was given a couple of quite steady horses to begin with then progressed onto more forward horses which was ideal. Enabled me to be sure I was happy back in the saddle going faster.
Really enjoyed being back in the saddle.

Do you have any other feedback for us?

Was an absolutely amazing holiday and being on horseback enabled us to get really close to the animals. The guides were very knowledgeable and made the trips fun.
Being able to see the new baby rhino several times was really special.
