Horse Riding Safaris in Africa

Real horse riding adventure

Horse riding safaris in Africa are the ultimate way to combine the pleasure of riding with the thrill of an Africa safari. You explore the beauty and serenity of the African bush on horse back and get really close to wildlife.

On horseback, you become one with the environment – sharing the same sights, scents, sounds and excitement of the African wilderness. The human scent is masked by the horse, so you really do get remarkably close to the animals.

So if you are contemplating horse riding safaris in Africa, we can help. Catering to all riding levels, there are itineraries for beginner riders in wilderness areas with fewer predator dangers, right through to holidays for the most advanced riders who can experience the ultimate horse riding safari getting close to Africa’s Big Five – lion, leopard, rhino, buffalo and elephant. We work with the best horse riding camps that offer quality horses and tack plus outstanding guides who keep you safe and ensure your horse riding safari is a truly remarkable holiday for all the right reasons!

Accommodation varies depending on what style of riding and wilderness you seek, from traditional romantic and rugged fly camping to luxury tented camps and lodges.
