Horseback Africa - Pinto's Lodge — Hotel in Gauteng

This is literally such an amazing place. When I arrived a man called Roger told me that i will feel like i had a week's holiday when i leave after my second night and he was soooo right. This is the best place to recharge and escape the city. I honestly had the best time and felt like I was healed by nature. There are so many activities to do. One thing that stood out for me is the people. The people there have great service, they are amazing and you feel like you are part of their family. Ohhhhh and the food is to die for, that chef can really cook like a boss. I am impressed and I am so happy that there are people like Collin that work hard to conserve animals and protect them from coaching. I will be going back there and thanks to the entire team for their flawless love, passion for their jobs and great service. Try the Lion walk it will...

The food is delicious, be careful while making your reservation through booking because it has some issues with the specifications of the room and services. The place is quite nice, but a little bit old, there’s this smell like a grandpa’s house, it isn’t bad but just it’s not also good. The WiFi doesn’t reach the rooms so you have to be near the pool or the lobby. The pool is really nice by the way. The people is really kind. And the thing that they do with lions are quite good, however, they do keep captive big male and female lions for breeding. The small lions get released after a year or so. Really nice place but it can...

This was the BEST safari experience we had in Africa. You can get so much closer to the animals on horseback. It was a completely different experience than driving around a game park. The staff were all nice and friendly. Also, the lodge had several small animal pens around the lodge for bunnies, tortoises, and meerkats.

The road to get here is a little bit rough, but we managed it just fine the day after the rain in a tiny Toyota hatchback. Definitely worth a visit to ride the horses around...
