Guided walks, horseback game viewing and game drives are the activities you can do to get a closer look at the animals. The herd of 30 horses is made up of big thoroughbreds, Arab-boerperd crosses and some fabulous childrens ponies.

Ant's Nest also specialises in being able to take guests on other exciting excursions e.g. Lapalala and the Rhino museum, boat trips on unspoilt lakes and a Triple B Ranch tour.

Ant's Nest offers a luxurious and excellent game viewing experience. From horseback you are able to get closer to the wildlife, blending in and becoming one with the bush.

Tracking Rhino or Giraffe from horseback is by far the most exhilarating and intimate way of viewing game in their natural habitat. Being a private reserve you can cover much larger distances on horseback, enjoying canters on the open plains and stunning views from the top of the mountains.

Ant's Nest has a selection of excellent, well-schooled horses and can cater for any riding ability. All of the rides are accompanied by 2 guides, with guests safety a top priority.

There's no beating an early morning 3 hour ride, culminating in a delicious bush breakfast overlooking the plains of Africa. You can ride as much or as little as you like, combining this experience with other activities.

For those who prefer a two legged safari, Ant and Tessa will expertly guide you through the bushveld on foot. These walks are informative and interactive, enabling you to glean the knowledge that Ant and Tessa have of the flora, fauna and animals that live on the reserve.

Learning to read and recognise the tracks of the many species that inhabit the reserve is a thrilling experience. These walks can be in the form of a gentle morning / afternoon stroll or for the more energetic, serious hiker, can cover the plains and traverse the hillsides, covering the wide variety of topography here at Ant's Nest.

A wonderful option for those who find themselves a little foot or saddle sore. A great way of seeing the bush, is from the comfort of an open 4x4 land cruiser. Let Ant take you up the mountainsides or down into the valleys viewing game in a more sedate manner.

All of these options wind down the day with sundowner drinks during a magnificent African sunset atop the mountain and a sumptuous meal back at the lodge.
