We are passionate about horses and have had many years of riding experience. We have competed or taught in various disciplines including Dressage, Show-jumping, Carriage Driving, Endurance and more recently Polo. Many people are enchanted by horses but have never had the opportunity to take formal lessons. With an experienced guide and a well-trained horse you'll be surprised at what you can achieve!
Our horse riding safaris are suitable for both experienced riders and complete beginners.
There are always a minimum of two guides on safari so the experienced riders have fun whilst not putting beginners under any pressure.
Out on safari you can expect to see wildlife from a different viewpoint. The wild animals see horse and rider as another animal ... a very strange one… but still an animal! You can stroll right next to a giraffe or let your horse munch grass in the zebra herd. These are magical moments you cannot get on a safari vehicle.
Safety is our top priority
We provide comfortable lightweight helmets and half-leg chaps. Well-fitting safety equipment is a must for a safe, enjoyable ride! Although we challenge you to improve your riding skills, we are constantly aware of your need to feel safe.
Our horses are friendly, well trained and obedient.
Every horse is very special to us. We personally train and ride all our horses - they're part of our family! They are super-responsive, obedient, loving and happy animals.
Horseback Africa is situated on our own private game reserve.
On safari you will see vast open spaces and pure unspoiled nature. There are no tourist cars or busses! You can view zebra, giraffe, wildebeest, kudu, impala, waterbuck, hartebeest, blesbok, and many other wild animals from very close by. We never disturb the wild animals and they are accordingly not afraid of the horse riders.
We only take out small groups – Maximum 10 riders.
This ensures that all our guests get a safe, exclusive and personal experience.
