Ant's Nest is the original homestead where Ant Africa Safaris began, set in a natural amphitheatre in the Waterberg with a waterhole in view.
It takes a maximum of 12 guests in 6 rooms, booked room by room or for exclusive use. Rooms range from the upstairs Sable Suite, with its own sitting room and fireplace, to a thatched Rondavel with an outside shower. A herd of over 100 horses means riders of every level can join horse safaris, with game drives and walks as alternatives. There is a 15 metre heated pool, and rhino graze nearby.
