Horseback Safaris: Ride with the Wild
Horses don’t look like threat. Wildlife reacts to a rider very differently to a vehicle — and that’s the magic.
Horseback Safaris
The Experience
East Africa has one of the world’s great horseback safari traditions, going back to the early 20th century. Today’s rides are run by long-established outfits with strings of well-schooled horses and senior guides.
Multi-day rides cross conservancies between mobile fly-camps; shorter morning rides can be added to almost any safari at a lodge with a stable.
What Sets It Apart
Designed for the Discerning
01
For Experienced Riders
Multi-day rides require confident intermediate-plus riders — but we arrange shorter introduction rides at almost any horse-equipped lodge.
02
Mobile Camps
Tented camps set up ahead of your arrival, with hot bucket showers and full bush dining.
03
String of 60+
Our preferred outfitter keeps a string of more than 60 horses — guaranteed match to your size, weight and skill.
