A horse riding safari in a
South African game reserve is a unique and memorable experience.
Animals such as elephant, giraffe, rhino and antelope can
be viewed close up as the smell of the horses masks the human
scent. Several areas such as the Waterberg in Limpopo offer
excellent game viewing from horse back.
Lake Bhangazi and St Lucia
in Kwa Zulu Natal offer some splendid horseback riding through
beautiful and wild terrain.
The beaches of the Western Cape provide many an opportunity
for gallops through the waters, whilst the scenic splendour
of the mountains will take your breath away.

Trail is a horseback trail through the remote splendour of
the northern coast of the Transkei,

is extremely popular for pony trekking. Many of the isolated
mountain villages are not accessible by road. This is a great

scenery is truly exquisite, boasting deep valleys tumbling
waterfalls, and magical mountains.
