Experiences

Horse Riding Safaris

Ant’s Hill offers the opportunity for some of the greatest game viewing in the African bush – from horseback. The pace can be as fast or relaxed as you desire.

Game Drives

Head out with your guide in an open 4x4 Land Cruiser for a morning or afternoon game drive or using a spotlight at night to find elusive nocturnal animals.

Guided Walks

One can often miss the smaller details of Africa's beautiful environment when on a vehicle or horseback, so walking safaris are highly recommended with your expert guide.

Mountain Biking

Enjoy cycling alongside herds of game in the more gentle plains and valleys; alternatively try a more challenging terrain with routes varying from five to twenty kilometres.

Archery & Snake Handling

Test your aim with some archery or learn all about snakes with their expert guide Craig who is based at Ant’s Hill.

Fishing

Fishing can be done in the summer months where you'll be taken to one of their dams for bream and bass. A great activity for children.

Missy & Harry

Absolutely amazing holiday. Garonga is heaven! We did everything possible and our guide was brilliant and hilarious. I can definitely recommend True Travel for their excellent advice and professionalism – they clearly are very knowledgeable about where they send their clients and made sure we had a worry-free holiday that perfectly suited us. We were particular grateful for the collection off our flight and help onto our transfer in Johannesburg, which included a very nifty queue jump due to their reputation!
