HORSEBACK RIDING SAFARIS
Go on a horseback safari. Horseback riding is the best way to approach wildlife on a safari: with the human form merging with the shape and movement of a horse, you approach wildlife more easily on horseback, than by vehicle or on foot.
Go on a horseback safari through exceptional landscapes to discover African wildlife. We offer progressive equestrian safaris in comfortable camps, or a stationary equestrian safari around a comfortable lodge.
There is truly nothing more exciting than galloping alongside elegant giraffes or among the great wildebeest migration. Experienced riders can enjoy an exhilarating equestrian safari, riding at high speed alongside plains wildlife, or peacefully tracking elephants, buffalo, zebras, giraffes, lions...
A horseback safari allows you to cover significant distances in remote areas, some beyond the reach of vehicles. Experienced riders can choose between a progressive horseback safari with nights in different camps or under the stars, or a stationary equestrian safari around a comfortable lodge. For those less experienced, but who would like to go on a horseback safari, our stationary safari with shorter and calmer horseback riding is offered: ideal if you are accompanied by a non-rider or with your family !
Our horseback safaris have been selected by partner agencies, specialists in equestrian safaris. These agencies carries out a particularly rigorous selection of equestrian service providers, from a large range of equestrian safaris.
