Wait A Little - South Africa

Wait A Little Big Five Safari

Katie (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) A FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE | The riding was brilliant. There are long periods at walk which for me I found enjoyable and I had seen reviews about this so knew it was expected. We did have canters too mostly on every ride. The only thing I would have liked is to be able to have a gallop which you don't get this holiday, this might be a good thing to pop in the information somewhere so people know this beforehand. I totally understand why this is not achievable though. The horses were fantastic, I rode mostly Nero & Coopers who were both different but both brilliant 🙂

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

I thought it was really helpful to have the whole itinerary, it showed me exactly what to expect. I received a lovely folder with a print out of the itinerary too beforehand which I thought was a nice touch 🙂


How could we improve the way we handled your booking and payment?

Nothing - all good 🙂
