Ant's Hill

Ant's Hill has been built on a ridge overlooking a gorge in a private game reserve in South Africa's Northern Province, offering magical views of plains, and distant hills as far as the eye can see. Not only offering a fabulous game viewing experience and a wide variety of activities, it is a superb place to just relax.

Ant's Hill can be booked non-exclusively or exclusively to one party. The emphasis at Ant's Hill is on offering guests a truly personal and flexible safari. There is no specific wake up times, and guests can do what they want when they want.

The reserve is home to a wide and diverse variety of wildlife, flora and fauna, all of which can be explored in a variety of ways - on horseback, in the comfort of an open 4x4 land cruiser, or on an informative and interactive guided bush walk. Game drives to a neighbouring Big 5 reserve can be arranged at an additional cost.

Set in boulders on the edge of the cliff, the heated swimming pool cascades over the lip of the gorge, inducing you to relax there for hours.

The accommodation consists of a family cottage with a master bedroom and 2 twin rooms, as well as a twin room situated above the main lodge, with a private verandah overlooking the spectacular gorge. There are also 2 separate honeymoon cottages, and a stunning 2 bedroom cottage with a private pool and magnificent vierws.

The main lodge area boasts a vast living area and dining room, both with fireplaces. A spacious verandah and deck overhang the gorge so are ideal for early morning breakfasts and evening sundowners. To top it all, it overlooks a waterhole frequently visited by a variety of game.

An equipped gym is available for those wanting some serious exercise and there is a curio shop for those in need of retail therapy.
