PRICE: $544
per person

 

Embark on a horseback safari at Ant’s Nest & Ant’s Hill in the heart of South Africa’s Waterberg region. Ride across golden plains, the wind against your skin and the rhythmic thunder of hooves echoing beneath you. Giraffes stretch their necks to watch you pass, zebras gallop at a distance, and antelope dart gracefully across the horizon. There are no engines, no noise — only the whisper of the breeze, the scent of wild sage, and the steady partnership between you and your horse.

This is not a mass-market safari with vehicles and queues of tourists. This is a private reserve safari on horseback, designed for those who want to experience Africa’s wildlife in the most natural and exhilarating way possible. Be paired with well-schooled, responsive horses that suit your ability, whether you are a confident rider seeking long canters or a beginner looking for a gentle introduction. The highly trained guides are both naturalists and horsemen, ensuring safety while sharing stories of the land and animals that will make the Waterberg come alive in your heart.

Your day at Ant’s doesn’t just end in the saddle. Between rides, savor gourmet bush meals, fine South African wines, and private relaxation at your luxury cottage or hillside lodge. A sparkling infinity pool, private decks with sweeping views, and attentive staff elevate this experience into the realm of true indulgence. Every detail, from the warm welcome at sunrise to the starlit evening drink by the fire, is curated for travelers who crave not only adventure but meaningful, soul-deep encounters with Africa’s wild beauty.
