Feeling humbled, feeling excited, feeling part of the wilderness for a small slice of time as you ride past impossibly tall giraffes, elegantly refined impalas and truly majestic elephants. It is hard to express in words the magical and uplifting experience of riding on horseback with, past or among wild African animals.

There are so many good places to horseback ride in Africa. We love wild, lush and hilly Laikipia in northern Kenya and the iconic savannah plains of Masai Mara. Both offer spectacular game viewing amid memorable backdrops. Horse riding safaris in Botswana are also wonderful, fast-paced, exciting and taking you from harsh dry desert-lands to delta wetlands. All leave their mark deep within you.
