Accommodation
The accommodation at Ant’s Hill is designed to provide both space, seclusion and a sense of being part of the landscape. The lodge is situated high and openly, with each room and cottage placed to maximize the view over the valley and the surrounding slopes. The architecture is airy and modern in form, but with materials and details that anchor everything in the African environment – natural stone, wood, thatch and large windows that let in light and nature. The rooms range from spacious double rooms to completely private cottages with their own pool, allowing couples, families, and smaller groups to find a suitable option. Regardless of the category, the feel is the same: generous space, thoughtful comfort, and privacy. Ant’s Hill can accommodate up to 16 guests at a time.
World’s View
World’s View is one of Ant’s Hills' most private and complete accommodations – a spacious two-storey cottage with generous social areas and a design that maximises the location on the cliff edge. The upper bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and a private balcony with unobstructed views over the valley. On the lower level, there is a second large bedroom with direct access to its own pool, as well as both indoor and outdoor showers. The covered veranda with daybeds allows you to spend large parts of the day outdoors in seclusion. Perfect for families or two couples looking for an exclusive base with plenty of space.
Hideaway
Hideaway is a secluded and tranquil retreat for couples or guests seeking more privacy. The room features a king-size bed with views through large windows, French doors leading out to the veranda, and a private deck with its own plunge pool. The open-plan bathroom includes a sunset-friendly bath set, an indoor shower, and a separate outdoor shower with views of the valley. The materials used are simple and elegant, and the room is equipped with a minibar and tea and coffee-making facilities. An accommodation that suits both honeymoon guests and those looking for a serene place to retreat to.
Family Cottage
Family Cottage is designed as a spacious, homey accommodation for families or groups looking for plenty of space and a social layout. The master bedroom features a large four-poster bed, an open bathroom, and views over the valley. The second bedroom is a twin room with two four-poster beds that can be converted into a double bed if needed. The loft, perfect for children, complements the accommodation and shares a bathroom with the twin room. A large living area with a fireplace and dining space opens out to a balcony that captures the afternoon light. An accommodation that feels easy to live in, whether travelling as a family or as a group of riders.
Lookout
Lookout is an intimate cottage for couples or two friends traveling together. The bedroom has a king-size bed that can be split into two single beds, along with a fireplace that makes the room comfortable even on chilly mornings and evenings. The veranda features an outdoor daybed and views over the valley and a waterhole where animals often pass by. The spacious bathroom offers both indoor and outdoor showers as well as a bathtub positioned for a view. A great choice for guests who want a combination of privacy and proximity to the main building.
Eagle’s Nest
Eagle's Nest is located above the main lodge and offers one of the most open views across Ant's Hill. The room is ideal for solo travellers or couples looking for affordable yet beautiful accommodation. A spacious bathroom and a large private balcony with a daybed make it easy to enjoy some alone time. A minibar, as well as tea and coffee-making facilities, are available in the room. A simple, bright, and secluded room with beautiful views and proximity to the main lodge.
Ant's Hill • Day by day
There is no typical day at Ant Africa. Sleep as long as you like, ride when you want, and take a break from the saddle whenever you feel like it. You decide if and when you want to ride, and besides horses, there is a wide range of other activities: bush walks, game drives, mountain biking, massages, lounging by the pool, fishing trips, and more. This makes Ant’s Hill a great base for families, couples, and groups where not everyone wants to ride every day – or perhaps not at all.
