Riding Safaris

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 – cantering 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. They have the highest standards of professionalism in regard to guiding, client safety and quality of horse and tack. Their riding safaris are for 3-10 nights 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.
