Chubeka Trails - Eswatini

Mlilwane & KaMsholo

5 star rating   27 April 2026

Emily who has been on 30 In The Saddle rides. Lovely holiday exploring the beauty of Eswatini | The were a number of horses available to ride, so we had the option to request which horse we wanted. There was quite a bit of rain during the trip which impacted where we could go and made the ground slippery but everything was done to work around this as much as was practical.

Do you have any comments about the accommodation and food?

Accommodation was spacious and comfortable. The food was wholesome "home cooked style" buffet food as opposed to mischelin star gourmet, but very tasty and there was plenty of it.

Anne was a fantastic host. The area was very beautiful to ride in. There is the option to go by bus or to fly from Johannesburg to Eswatini. I chose to fly and was able to fit in a morning ride as I didn't need to leave as early as the guest travelling by bus, so this would be my personal preference, although I understand the bus was a very comfortable option.
