    THE ANT COLLECTION

    WATERBERG, SOUTH AFRICA

    A well known and extremely well-rated horseback safari in South Africa.

     

    The Ant Collection – also known as Ant’s Nest and Ant’s Hill – is a unique safari experience, whether on horseback or in the game vehicle.

    The Ant Collection Horseback Safaris are one of the best horse riding holidays to be had in Africa, with guests returning again and again – a true testament to how their safari lodge creates a warm feeling of welcome. Guests at Ant’s Nest and Ant’s Hill horse safaris really do become family.

    Owner and operator Ant Baber dedicated 2019 to reinventing his longstanding safari lodges and horse safaris.

    With an incredible new set of photography and videography from the talented Teagan Cunniffe via her horse safari media company – Cross The Lands – it was time to revamp the website and infuse social with this newly reimagined brand.
