5 star rating   5 May 2026

Emily who has been on 30 In The Saddle rides. Lovely ride exploring the beautiful mountains of Moolmanshoek | There was an initial "trial" ride where my horse was very slow and the saddle was terrible. They changed both the horse and the saddle the following day and I had no further issues. A rode a few different horses of whom Madelifie was my favourite. Lindy is a very knowledgeable and accommodating horsewomen and guide. The scenery was stunning.

Do you have any comments about the accommodation and food?

The food here is a real treat as the restaurant is very high quality. The accommodation was charming and I appreciated having a wood fire lit in my room each night (not available in all rooms) and an electric blanket so getting cold was never an issue. There is also the option to arrange a massage over the course of the trip which I would definitely recommend.

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

Not much to improve. The only thing I would mention is that I was told there was a fee for doing laundry by this was in fact complementary.


Do you have any other feedback for us?

Would definitely recommend, especially if you've done a lot of the big game rides and want to explore another part of Africa.
