Well, what can I say? It was bludy amazing and I cannot fault a single second of the way 'Wait A Little' looked after us !! Gerti and Phillip have an absolutely amazing team of people and horses who all do a fabulous job, whether it was Rusty guiding us through the bush, Catherine showing us around the horses, Anna making her amazing cakes and the teams efforts at fabulous G&Ts at sundown on horseback, it was fantastic from start to finish.
Wait A Little is based just outside of Hoedspruit, about an hour. You are picked up by transfer and you arrive in to the most beautiful setting. The horses are roaming about in the garden with the warthogs, the pool is beautiful and the bar is open. Our rooms are the most amazing luxury huts on stilts surrounded by the local monkeys who welcome us loudly. The glorious freestanding bath looks straight out on to the bush, with Kudo looking patiently back at you and lion roaring in the background. Its pretty breathtaking.
After you settle yourself in, we are off for a ride in the late afternoon where we are introduced to the horses who are absolutely spotless and beautifully turned out, better than my hunters!! Not only are they spotless, but their behavior and manners are impeccable, trained by Gerti a Grand Prix dressage rider, need I say more. They turn and move on a sixpence and it was an absolute pleasure to ride such brilliantly trained horses - that happen to know how to stand still in front of a rhino and a lion - crazy but true.
I won't spoil any more for you, but the 7 day adventure we did seeing all of the Big Five (rhino, lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo) on many many occasions, you will love every minute. Your guide, Rusty is fantastic and look out for Patson over at Makalali, the master of all guides. What more can say, a bucket list trip with a difference.
