Safaris by Horse

Imagine riding across the vast, palm-fringed African desert on the back of a glistening thoroughbred stallion, in the company of a seasoned and entertaining guide. Whether you canter, gallop or trot, the pace is completely up to you. Delight in breathtaking views, exhilarating wildlife and uncharted wilderness, as the salty crust of Botswana’s Makgadikgadi Pan crunches beneath your horse’s hooves. At day’s end, bed down in a thoughtfully appointed tent, beneath a glittering galaxy of stars in a velvet sky.

The exceptional landscape of vast salt pans and sprawling open woodlands lends itself to an unforgettable riding experience. Personal guide service, elegant tent amenities, delicious food, crisp cotton bedding and a swimming pool combine to raise the bar for safari stays.
