Overview

On horseback you become part of the landscape. Zebra, giraffe and antelope often accept a horse far more readily than a vehicle or a person on foot, so a horseback safari can bring you remarkably close to wildlife in near silence.

Rides are matched to your experience. Novice rides stay at a walk with an experienced guide, while experienced riders can cover more ground, including trots and canters where safe. Helmets and a briefing are provided.

  • Quiet, close wildlife encounters
  • Rides for novice and experienced riders
  • Well-schooled horses and expert guides
  • Riverine and bush scenery
