Horse riding safari holidays in Africa
As a keen horsewoman, riding safaris have always been a great passion and certainly I find that the most enjoyable form of gameviewing is from the back of a horse. Sights, scents, sounds & the excitement of the African wilderness all come to life – wildlife accepts your presence more readily – allowing for some extraordinary game experiences – trotting in amongst zebra, giraffe within arm’s reach, walking through a herd of antelope. It is a unique way of experiencing African wildlife, scenery and culture while enjoying the pleasures of riding.
I have selected the best two horse riding safari operations in Africa. The most important aspect of a riding safari is your guide. The owners/operators of both Ride Kenya and Ride Botswana lead every safari. They have the highest standards of professionalism, client safety and quality of horse and tack.
A riding safari can last anything from 1 to 10 nights usually for a maximum of 6-12 guests with 4-7 hours a day in the saddle but each operation maintains its own individual character by offering a personal insight into the area which it knows and loves so well. There are set departures and tailor made itineraries for private parties.
