About Riding Safaris
A safari on horseback is unlike any other safari. The sense of freedom is exhilarating, as you experience the wilderness from the saddle, immersed in nature and surrounded by vast, untouched landscapes. The 360-degree panoramas are breathtaking, while every sunset feels both majestic and magical.Our horses are impeccably schooled, confident and experienced in the unique environments they encounter—from riding amongst big game in Africa to riding alongside fighting bulls in Ecuador. The horses are all calm, responsive and entirely at home in the wild.In Africa, the wildlife is equally accustomed to horses. Buffalo, elephant, zebra, giraffe and countless other species graze alongside the horses, creating an extraordinary sense of being part of the landscape rather than simply observing it.It is an intimate, exhilarating way to experience the wilderness – quiet, unhurried and truly unforgettable.
Whether you’re a novice rider or an experienced rider, a first time horseback adventurer or a parent seeking a once in a lifetime family holiday, we can create your perfect riding safari filled with experiences that will stay with you forever.

Riding Safari (FAQs) Need to Know
Am I a good enough rider to embark on a Riding Safari?
Is a riding safari suitable for children?
Most riding safari operators stipulate a minimum age of twelve . Aside from this assuming the rider is competent and willing and able to follow instructions there is no reason whatsoever not to undertake a riding safari.
Are the horses well looked after on a riding safari?
Absolutely, all our partners have the highest standards of horse care and we would not work with anyone who did not. Riding safari participants are always impressed both with the quality of the horses available and how they are cared for.
When is the best time of year to go on a riding safari?
This partly depends on where you want to go. As a rule the dry season is most rewarding for game-viewing than during the rains and this is true for riding safaris as any other genre. The rains fall at a different time of year in South Africa and Botswana than in Kenya and if you are keen to witness the great migration from the saddle you will need to narrow your plans down to July to September. There is also the always an upside in visiting an area when few others are.
