HORSE RIDING HOLIDAY IN AFRICA WITH ANTS

Only a 3 hour drive from Johannesburg, you will find arguably the best horse-riding in Africa. Situated on a private game reserve in the spectacular, malaria-free Waterberg region of South Africa, Ant’s offers the very best experience of the bush, either at one with wildlife on horseback, in the luxury of a privately-guided game drive or at more intimate level on foot. For over 25 years, it has won a reputation for a homely and friendly welcome that offers guests of all ages an unforgettable adventure.

HORSE SAFARIS

Our herd of over 90 horses live a blissful life on our private game reserve amongst the wildlife. As the horses are seen as part of normal daily life by the other animals, our riding guests can get closer to the game than probably anywhere else in Africa. There is no such thing a typical riding day during an Ant’s horseback safari.

Ant Africa Safaris is one of the earliest pioneers when it comes to offering horse safaris in Africa, successfully running them since 1996. Horses are our passion, and our incredibly dedicated and long-standing team ensure that our horses are as well looked after as our guests.

Get closer on horseback.
