I loved it so much
August 26, 2024by: Juliana KhouryProgram: Moolmanshoek Wildlife Working HolidayAfter spending 2 weeks at Moolmanshoek in December 2023, I loved it so much that I have planned to go back for 3 months very soon! The reserve is absolutely gorgeous with an incredible backdrop of the Witteberg Mountains, and I really enjoyed the peacefulness of Moolmanshoek. Everyone is super helpful and kind, and so much fun to be around! The accommodation is very comfortable and clean, and waking up with the beautiful view of the reserve cannot be beaten. The horses are amazing, they are well trained and very sweet - there was not a horse I didn't enjoy riding! The horses are cared for extremely well and it is lovely to see them so happy living naturally and roaming freely in the reserve. I can't wait to be back at Moolmanshoek!
Best experience of my life
August 25, 2024by: Sofia CabalinProgram: Moolmanshoek Wildlife Working HolidayThe month I spent at Moolmanshoek was by far the best experience of my life. I made so many amazing memories and learnt so much there. The whole place makes you feel like you’re living in a movie and riding alongside zebras and all the wild life it’s such a unique experience. I’m so grateful for all the amazing people and horses I met here, they all made this experience so unique and special.
