Ant's Lodges - South Africa

Experience Level

Lodge Stay

5 star rating   22 March 2026

Lucy who has been on 6 In The Saddle rides. A unique and wonderful holiday | Riding was always good, some days better than others, dependent on other guests and their riding abilities. On occasion complete beginners are put with experienced riders which isn’t ideal, however, the guides try to split up during the ride so advanced riders can at least get a canter or two.
Groups are never more that 6 guests which is perfect.

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

As this was the third time we had visited Ants we didn’t need much info so I’m not really in a position to comment!

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

I'm totally satisfied.

Do you have any other feedback for us?

We adore Ants and although I have mentioned the negative of combined ability group rides I believe this was a particular problem this time as Ant was opening the Big 5 River resort for the first week of riding whilst we visited so the other Lodges were low on both staff and horses. A shame but we still had a fabulous time.
