Debbie who has been on 7 In The Saddle rides. Absolutely awesome week on safari! | The horses were all well cared for, fit and forward going. Both the horses I rode were fabulous and well suited to me. All the tack was in good order. The saddles took a little adjusting to prevent buckles from sitting under my knees but the guides were always more than happy to help

From start to finish this was a truly epic holiday and we loved every minute. We were made so welcome by all the staff and nothing was too much trouble for any of them. It was always service with a smile. We managed to see all the animals I was hoping for especially on the game drives when we were able to get very close to elephants, lions, a leopard and cheetahs without disturbing them.
As always a first class and very personal service from In The Saddle which far exceeds the service which I have had from other riding holiday travel agents (although I must say none of them have been bad!)
