GUIDE FOR HORSE RIDING SAFARIS WITH AFRICANMECCA

A Horseback Safari by AfricanMecca allows you to follow the footsteps of terrestrial wildlife in all varied terrains. The experience is sure to be a highlight of your outback trip. Uncovering the beauty of Southern and Eastern Africa on a horseback is unlike any other experience that takes you into the pristine wilderness. Horses are exquisite creatures that move gracefully across the terrain in a manner that eases your mind, releases your spirit and renews your soul.



Trotting across grasslands, cantering amidst ruins and galloping along coastlines and across swamps is a remarkable enhancement to any exploratory African equestrian safari. Your horse-riding safari is arranged according to your personal needs and desires. Inexperienced and young riders can have private lessons before going for a short one-hour ride e.g. at Manyara Ranch.

Intermediate and advanced riders can stay amidst the wildlife for two to three hours, full day to a multi-day location to location safari e.g. in Singita’s Grumeti Reserve in Serengeti, Sosian Ranch in Laikipia, Chyulu Hills near Amboseli, Cape Winelands near Cape Town, Motswiri in Selinda, Macatoo Camp in Okavango Delta, Ant’s Hill and Nest in Waterberg.



For our most seasoned equestrian guests, we arrange rides for two to ten days e.g. Borana Ranch bordering Lewa and also in the northern private conservancies of Masai Mara. These multi-day rides can be combined with fly camping. Group rides typically have eight or fewer guests, so you feel a sense of connection with the land, and all horses are specially-trained to be easily managed for your comfort.

Horseback riding is generally not allowed in the national parks and reserves, and this restriction works to your advantage. Many of the ranch conservancies on private lands in Africa are not frequently visited by the masses of tourists due to its higher costs, so you experience pristine wilderness areas that few people on earth have visited. These areas also tend to have limitations on the maximum number of guests, so you ride in solitude free of crowds and without tour vehicle pursuits. Horseback safaris are currently offered in Kenya, Botswana, South Africa and Tanzania.
