Macatoo - Botswana

Linda who has been on 22 In The Saddle rides. Brilliant week in the Okavango Delta at Macatoo camp | So much care is taken by Mod to match horse and rider. My reduced capabilities must be quite difficult to accommodate but my two horses for the week - Zorba and Thorne - suited me perfectly. I had ridden both before so knew what to expect. So pleased I got to canter through the Delta again after my hip replacement last year. It was also amazing to have so much water around thanks to the rains. The game was spread out because of the amount of water but we still had great sightings including a couple of unplanned lion encounters!
It was also wonderful to be able to go out on the boat for sundowners while spotting hippos and elephants in the water.

Do you have any comments about the accommodation and food?

The new tents are fantastic - so many amenities and so much space, and real doors . Could do with a broom to sweep away the sand that is deposited on the floor when taking boots off.
Loved our special champagne meal on our deck to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. Also loved the “surprises”. Food is excellent, and special diets happily catered for with advance notice.

Our 9th (and final ) visit to Macatoo. We have been on many, many riding holidays around the world and nothing compares to this. All the staff are amazing, so friendly and professional. The horses are also amazing and so well cared for. Also the service we have had from In The Saddle over the years has been fantastic.
