Wait A Little - South Africa

Karolyn who has been on 18 In The Saddle rides. Fun in the Sun | The horses I saw were all in good condition, with temperaments suitable to their work and suitably responsive. If you don't like your first horse, there are plenty to choose from.
The riding is mostly at walk through very thorny shrubs and trees in search of game (eg lion, elephant) - do NOT wear your favourite jodhs (I took my old pairs). Long sleeves will protect you from the worst scratches and sunburn. There are opportunities for canter on wider paths and in the riverbeds, where you will be safe from thorns and the heavy sand will quickly take the froth out of excited horses.
You must be capable of controlling an enthusiastic horse cantering in company - competent enough to avoid overtaking (which risks a dangerous race) and to cope with less competent riders riding on your tail. All the riders in my group were fine

Do you have any comments about the accommodation and food?

After a night camping with no running water, Xidulu is a real treat and lovely to have all the animals coming to visit the waterhole

The riding is tougher than Ant's due to the terrain/thorns (but perfectly do-able, and well worth it for the extra game).
