Experiences

Horse Riding Safaris

Antâ€™s Hill offers the opportunity for some of the greatest game viewing in the African bush â€“ 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 Antâ€™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.

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!
