Ant's Lodges - South Africa

Lodge Stay

5 star rating   23 November 2024

Nathalie who has been on 3 In The Saddle rides. Exceeded my (already high) expectations | The riding exceeded my expectations as I was able to build upon the confidence I'd gained last year on my first trip. I never felt unsafe but I was also allowed to go on faster rides, which was exhilarating. I still miss the horse that I rode that week and a photo of me riding him is now the background photo on my phone so it brings back happy memories every time I look at it.

I stayed in Eagle's Nest which had an absolutely stunning outlook! At sunrise, midday, sunset, the lighting was ever changing and always worthy of a photo.

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

Olwen was friendly and organised, and gave Ant's Lodges all the information about me that they needed so there was no paperwork I needed to do when I arrived in South Africa, which was much appreciated
In what ways could we improve the way in which we handled your booking and payment?


Do you have any other feedback for us?

I went to Ant's Lodges last year and was so sad to leave that I rebooked to come back this year. I was slightly worried I wouldn't have as much as a good time this year, but it was actually better, perhaps because I'd gained confidence with my riding.
