Ruth who has been on 4 In The Saddle rides. Wait A Little | Having experienced Macatoo and the Okavango Delta and the Tuli Trail, Wait A Little felt a bit staged and felt like a bigger version of Longleat. Was rather surprised that our rear guides were volunteers, young girls with absolutely no real experience and very little knowledge of the wildlife or flora and fauna. Having said that, they were very nice. The front guide, Jo, was knowledgeable although quite rude referring to me as a geriatric guest!!!
Apart from all this, I was with a great bunch of girls and the week was full of laughs and most important the horses were well looked after.
[Abbie from ITS replies: Thank you very much for taking the time to tell us about your holiday. We are very sorry to hear that there were elements of the trip that you did not enjoy. We shared your feedback with Wait A Little and their response is as follows:
"I think there will always be some guests who feel, because there are fences, that this is a safari park. There might not be the understanding that it takes more skill and well-trained horses to ride in an environment of thick bush like ours, where if you see animals, they are very very close. The animals here are as wild as everywhere else where they are used to game drives, but due to the fact there are fences and we get much closer than anyone else, that might be the reason why a guest might feel like this.
About our volunteers. We are doing this for 27 years now and I dare to say that we might be the only operation that never had a life threatening encounter. Our volunteer program is there to give young people a chance to experience something that is life changing for them and through education they learn about conservation, culture, people and nature. We put huge effort into teaching our volunteers how to deal with situations, guests and safety on trail, and so far it has worked very well.
Jo is an excellent guide and the most wonderful person, but he has sometimes a bit of a sarcastic sense of humour. I feel that all of our guests really enjoy this, but maybe he went a little too far, sorry. I will address this and I apologise.
I am sorry there was one guest we didn’t make 100% happy."
