BOTSWANA Why Go There?
A horseback safari in Botswana allows you to explore a true wilderness whilst also viewing large game species in their natural habitat. The northern Okavango Delta is a seasonal floodplain with lagoons and grassy islands supporting all of the Big Five. Mashatu, in the south, is the land of giants, with large baobab trees, elephant herds and the Limpopo River. The central Kalahari is a starkly beautiful salt pan with unique game-viewing opportunities and the chance to meet local bushmen. All riding safaris in Botswana offer exciting riding and a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Choosing a safari
Botswana is a wild and unspoilt country where the big five still roams. Horseback safaris in Botswana are ideal for competent riders who want to ride amongst large game such as elephant and buffalo.
The OKAVANGO DELTA is considered the jewel of the Kalahari. An inland seasonal floodplain which floods annually after the rains attracting large numbers of game into the area. All of the big five are present and so riders should be confident and capable.
For fast and challenging riding visit: Macatoo
For a semi-mobile ride on beautifully schooled horses visit: Kujwana
For a unique and semi mobile ride: Across the Okavango
To combine luxury lodges with fly camping: Moremi Big Five Adventure
The KALAHARI DESERT and Makgadikgadi salt pans are in central Botswana and have distinct seasons - the dry season (May-Sept) when there is no rain and the pans are empty and perfect for long canters; and the wet season (Nov - April) when the rain quenches the dry earth, the pans fill, the bush is lush and green, and large herds of zebra and wildebeest migrate into the area: Kalahari desert ride
The TULI BLOCK in the eastern corner of Botswana, near the border of Zimbabwe and South Africa is known as the Land of the Giants - huge baobabs, large herds of elephant and stunning big cat sightings, not forgetting some of the best horses in Africa.
