South Africa Horseback Safaris
A horse safari is a unique experience for those who would combine the pleasures of long distance riding with a love for the wild and the thrill of an African safari. An adventure which allows you to experience South African wildlife, scenery and culture at close quarters.
The main attraction of a horse safari is the joy of riding good horses over superb country, with just about every landscape dotted with game. The riding is varied, sometimes quietly walking, stalking big game and admiring the bird life, sometimes cantering through the water-meadows alongside galloping giraffe and lechwe.
Horseback safaris are organised through various hotels & lodges. There are options available for novices or experienced riders throughout the country. Further options can be found in the linked information below, or by contacting one of our experts
