Colin's Horseback Africa is one of the Cullinan guest houses and provides accommodation in 6 guest rooms for anyone visiting the Northern Gauteng region.
This beautifully appointed Lodge offers guests a feeling of being one with nature. Come and share bushveld stories around the campfire, enjoy sensational feasts in the outdoor boma or simply relax and unwind around the swimming pool.
The lodge has a sparkling swimming pool and heated spa pool. There are also a number of well marked hiking trails that take you past scenic dams and quiet bird hides.
There are hundreds of bird species to view, abundant wildlife and beautiful landscapes to photograph. All self guided hikes are free when staying in the Lodge.
Please see the individual room descriptions with photographs below, to assist you with your choice.
Breakfast is included in all rooms except the Bushmans Cottage.
Guests will have the opportunity to engage in an Animal Interaction Program. The health effects of this program is an essential element of healing in humans. Interacting with animals has been shown to decrease levels of cortisol (a stress-related hormone) and lower blood pressure. Guests may also choose to take part in the Equine Programs.
Horseback Africa offers free hiking to all overnight visitors. The trails are geared towards hikers (including children), who want to enjoy nature without rushing from one point to another. It is in a game reserve so there is always the chance that one meets up with a giraffe or a kudu on the trail somewhere.
Enjoy your experience at Horseback Africa from the saddle of a mountain bike. There is an established 5 km route that is used for the (not)parkrun and for the Parktrot. The forest trail portion of his particular route is quite challenging for a mountain bike, as there are poplar tree stumps to negotiate, and there is a steep slope to ramp down, or to try and “climb” up with a bike!

I would like to thank Craig Wiehahn and team for being such fantastic hosts. The entire team is extremely friendly and helpful and went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and that our needs were attended to. Craig helped us with directions whilst en route and was very attentive and professional throughout. I appreciated him going the extra mile in terms of chatting to the boys about the various animals on the farm. The boys had a magical time and couldn't stop talking about hearing the lions roar at night! The food was great and can recommend Horseback Africa as a professionally run facility. We had a wonderful weekend away!
