Ant's Lodges - South Africa

Lodge Stay

5 star rating   13 June 2026

Lizzy who has been on 4 In The Saddle rides. Family holiday at Ants Nest and River Lodge | Great horses overall and impeccably well behaved. Amazing to get so close to the animals.

Feedback on the horses was not necessarily solicited or taken on board at times, several of the group stayed on slower horses than they might have liked.

Comfortable rooms, Ants River Lodge in particular rooms were incredibly spacious and we were kindly given an extra room for the children.

Fabulous holiday! We were a challenging group with a mix of babies, toddlers, parents, grandparents and friends. Everyone at Ants was incredibly helpful and happily catered to the many varied needs of the group. Hospitality was much appreciated and everyone had a wonderful time.

As always, riding and game viewing was brilliant and it was awesome to be able see the Big 5 at the River Lodge.
