Africa

Riding holiday, riding safari and trail rides in Africa

Africa is the ultimate horse riding holiday destination. There are many different options for riding safaris, whether riding amongst the migration in Kenya, splashing through the Okavango Delta in Botswana or running with giraffe from a luxury lodge in South Africa. Africa also offers some of the best beach riding and trail riding holidays in the world - long canters along the South African Wild Coast, gallops across the Namib desert, trails through vineyards near Cape Town or trails to far-flung Lake Natron in Tanzania. Africa is a horse riders dream.

    Loved the rides with great horses (very well matched with the riders), lovely wild nature and beaches. Tour guides were very professional and pleasant company. Nice hotels and food. 'Dit was gesellig' ;) I won’t forget my horse Taitum! ❤️ I rode Taitum: a confident, fierce and fast mare who I trusted completely.

    I've been home for a while, but the only thing I can think is: TAKE ME BACK! I rode Spitfire - Easiest ride ever + very comfy. Also Nero - Sporthorse, couldn't be more different then Spitfire, but what a machine. I guess only for experienced rider, but that's how I like them :-)

    A lovely place to stay. The two week old baby rhino, Commander, was an absolute hilight and so bold and curious with the horses! Riding out with Ant was fast paced and fun for the more experienced among us. I rode three different horses at Ant’s nest. All were forward going, polite and tough, tackling any tricky... Read all
