Horseback Safaris

Safari Travel Planner

Safari Enquiry

Embarking on a horseback safari in Africa offers a unique experience in wildlife viewing. This approach allows for a quiet and engaging way to see animals, which tend to be less disturbed by the presence of horses compared to vehicles or people on foot. This advantage enables guests to have closer and more natural wildlife encounters.

Riding through Africa on horseback, guests will see a variety of landscapes, from open savannas to forests and hills, at a pace that allows for appreciation of the surroundings. The experience of riding a horse in these settings adds a unique dimension to the safari tour, as it enables a closer connection with the environment.

Safety and an enriching experience are enhanced by the presence of expert guides. These guides not only ensure the well-being of guests but also share their knowledge of the wildlife, local ecosystems, and conservation efforts. Their expertise adds a meaningful layer to the horse-riding safari experience.

A horseback safari offers the chance to develop a connection with your horse, enhancing the interaction with the environment. This type of safari stands out for those looking for an engaging and educational way to explore Africa, combining the thrill of wildlife observation with the tranquility of horseback riding.
