Ant’s Nest and Ant’s Hill are both very private bush homes. They are both located on a privately owned game conservancy in the magnificent, malaria-free Waterberg region of the Limpopo province in South Africa. Their aim is to provide their guests with a unique safari experience, offering a wide range of activities to keep everyone entertained, from the youngest to the oldest, the fittest to those most in need of a rest.
You can enjoy fabulous game viewing in a variety of ways:
- Guided game walks, from a gentle stroll down the plains to a more strenuous hike over rugged hills, which enable you to gain a detailed knowledge of African fauna and flora.
- Game drives in open 4 wheel drive Land-cruisers, which allow you to cover more ground and experience wildlife in a traditional but less energetic way.
They have 60 horses so can offer some of the most exciting game viewing on horseback in Africa, whatever your age or riding ability. They are very flexible. Your guide will tailor-make each day specifically to suit you and your family – so wake up when you want and enjoy a time of pure relaxation or action packed excitement.
Ant’s Nest and Ant’s Hill are owned and run by Ant and Tessa Baber. The Baber family was one of the earliest pioneers in the area, settling here in 1886. Of English and Irish decent they carry with them a love for Africa’s wide open spaces, adventure and a passion for its wildlife. In the mid 1990′s Ant and Tessa renovated an old ranch house, which became Ant’s Nest and, in 2003, built Ant’s Hill above a spectacular gorge, designing each room to make the most of the magnificent view. Passionate conservationists they started to develop the two private game reserves, allowing them to become the paradise they are today.
Specialising in a home from home experience, both lodges can either be booked exclusively, to one group at a time, or you can book just one room, making it a wonderful destination for families, riders, honeymooners or just good friends travelling together.
