The Riding
The Accommodation
Do you have any comments about the accommodation and food?
My room was really lovely. It was chilly outside at night (in July) but so cosy with the fire, underfloor heating and electric blanket. I loved opening the curtains every morning and watching the horses coming in from the fields.
The food was plentiful and delicious. Lots of choice for breakfast (and a wonderful setting to start the day), lovely lunches and a delicious three course dinner each evening. We were mainly vegetarians in our group and we were all amazed at the quality and variety of the food.

Moolmanshoek is a very very special place - stunning and spectacular scenery, lots of wildlife to view from horse-back or on foot, wonderful staff who look after their guests extremely well, comfortable accommodation, great food, fantastic riding and incredible horses. I couldn’t fault it and I loved it so much that I’m going back later this year.
[Abbie from ITS replies: Thanks so much for your lovely feedback. We're thrilled that you loved Moolmanshoek and have already booked your return visit!]
Derry who has been on 6 In The Saddle rides. Magical | The Moolmanshoek horses are simply incredible. Forward going, responsive, comfortable and extremely sure-footed.
The riding is a great mix of flat terrain with lots of canters - always keeping an eye out for the game - and technical climbs and descents. I would be lying if I said that a couple of the descents weren’t a little daunting looking down from the top but you just needed to listen to Lindy - sit back, heels down, hold the back of the saddle with one hand, trust your horse and ‘don’t look down’! Before you knew it, you were at the bottom and looking back up in disbelief that you were all the way up there just a few minutes before!
I rode three horses during my stay and loved them all. Thank you Shamrock, Mojo and Thunder
Lindy was a brilliant guide - passionate and knowledgeable about the horses, the wildlife and the reserve, encouraging, kind and fun …. but always in control.
