What an amazing experience and location Khotso provides. Super friendly and helpful staff. Every interaction is polite and pleasant. The grounds and buildings are all so neat, clean and just shows the care and pride taken to make your stay great. If you haven't experienced the wonderful views and hospitality Khotso can provide I cannot recommend enough that you give it a try.

Did a horse riding with Khotso for 2 hours, it was good, we were guided by Sthembiso who was very friendly and soft spoken, he was patient with us and led us to the top of a mountain and down on a different path. It was a lovely experience although one of our friends had an incident of falling while mounting on a horse and had to go to a hospital in an ambulance.

Went on my first horse ride and loved it. Very friendly staff. One of my favourite places I've stayed in SA. Was recommended to me by a friend

We ecently had the most incredible horse riding experience at Khotso Lodge & Horse Trails, guided by the amazing Sthe. This was not just an ordinary horse riding adventure, but rather our engagement weekend, and it turned out to be an absolute blessing. From the moment we arrived at Khotso Lodge, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The staff made sure we felt welcomed and ensured that every detail of our stay was taken care of. The lodge itself was nestled in the breathtaking Drakensberg mountains, providing a picture-perfect backdrop for our romantic getaway. But it was the horse riding route with Sthe that truly stole our hearts. Sthe, our knowledgeable and skilled guide, made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire journey. He took the time to understand our riding abilities and tailored the route to suit our needs perfectly. As we mounted our horses and set off on the trail, we were immediately enchanted by the beauty of the surroundings. The rolling hills, lush green pastures, and majestic mountains created a truly spellbinding landscape. Riding through this picturesque scenery, hand in hand with the love of my life, was a moment I will cherish forever. Sthe's expertise and passion for horses were evident as he shared interesting stories and fascinating facts about the area and its equine residents. His warm and friendly demeanor made us feel like old friends, and we enjoyed every moment spent in his company. The ride itself was an exhilarating adventure. We trotted along open fields, cantered through meandering paths, and took in the awe-inspiring views from higher vantage points. Sthe ensured that we were having a fantastic time, always keeping a watchful eye on our safety. The engagement weekend turned out even more special than we could have imagined, thanks to the experience at Khotso Lodge & Horse Trails. Not only did we create lifelong memories, but we also grew closer as a couple, bonding over the beauty of nature and the joy of horse riding. If you're looking for an unforgettable horse riding experience, I highly recommend Khotso Lodge & Horse Trails. The combination of stunning scenery, exceptional service, and skilled guides like Sthe guarantees an adventure that will leave you breathless and longing for more. Thank you, Khotso Lodge & Horse Trails and Sthe, for making our engagement weekend an absolute blessing. We will forever cherish the memories we made during this magical horse riding route.
