African Explorer
The African Explorer takes you to two countries in one trip beginning on a private game reserve in a region of sour mixed bushveld in the north-western region of South Africa where you’ll ride across an area of approximately 21,000 acres, with excellent game viewing, wonderful sandy tracks to canter along and beautiful blue dams to swim in with your horse. Transfer to Botswana to ride among the ancient landscape of rock formations, and open plains dotted with giant Baobab trees. This place feels very wild and your guide will choose the best riding routes across the reserve. Accommodation in beautiful lodges and safari camps.
Wild Coast Horse Trail
Explore the rugged, unspoilt, natural beauty of the Wild Coast of South Africa. A malaria- free area, the Wild Coast offers an unparalleled riding experience over rocky headlands, through the rolling hills of the former homeland of the Transkei and along vast tracts of empty golden beaches. This is not called the most spectacular beach riding in the world for nothing โ the riding is quite simply, fantastic.
