Stay in our game park
What makes a polo holiday with Sparta Polo Club unique, is your stay at Rietfontein Manor House. Nestled in a game park full of all sorts of animals, you can have your morning coffee whilst watching the giraffes roaming near the house.
During your stay, there will be multiple sunset game drives and even a horseback safari in our game park. During these rides, you will canter with wild zebras and get up close to the giraffes on horseback. All of the above is included in the price.
Private cook and a stocked bar
Our goal is for you to fully relax, enjoy your polo and take in the beautiful wildlife. Your stay with us is all-inclusive, with a private cook providing three meals a day. We also ensure you have a fully stocked bar, in case you want to have some post chukka beers by the pool!
