“Wonderful safari experience!”

Reviewed 30 April 2013

Three nights at Ant's Hill were not enough! I went primarily for the ability to do riding safaris, but also went on a walking safari and game drives. All were excellent. Great horses that enjoy a good canter, knowledgeable guides, relaxed atmosphere, and wonderful food. Something for everyone!

“Wonderful 6 night stay at Ants Hill and Nest”

Reviewed 25 March 2013

I've recently returned from a fantastic stay at Ants Hill (4 nights) and Ants Nest (2 nights) and can thoroughly recommend them both. They are quite different - Hill is on the side of a hill with fabulous views, luxurious accommodation and more privacy. Nest is more family oriented, being the original bush farmhouse, it has a large lawned area... More

We are glad to hear that you had such a good time and also that you were able to experience both bush homes. As you say they are indeed both very different We hope to see you back with us sooner rather than later More

I had high expectations and all my wishes came true. I was there to do the horseback riding safari and it was very professionally handled. We stayed at Ant's Hill and it was stunning. It is even more beautiful in reality than on the pictures. I can absolutely recommend this place.

“A memorable stay!”

Reviewed 24 February 2013

We picked this wonderful place to spend 3 days celebrating our 20 years anniversary with our children and our best friends. The lodge and the staff made it a stay that we will never forget. It was wonderful. We definitly recommend the horse riding safari even for beginners. Every meal was special and in a different place, full of surprises.
