African Horseback Safaris
South Africa is a paradise for a horse riding holiday and horseback safaris.
We take particular pride in organising authentic horseback safaris, which offer:
- A very natural, quiet and peaceful way to experience game
- A genuine connection to the wilderness around you, unhindered by the usual metal and glass barriers
- An unrivalled opportunity to get close to animals that interpret you and your horse as a single harmless herbivore!
- An elevated position giving you a distinct viewing advantage
- The sounds of the bush, not the groan of a diesel engine
- Unrestricted access to wherever your game trail leads you
- The chance to canter among a mixed herd of game, track a pride of lions and more
