Horseback riding

If you think you’ve done and seen it all on safari, then how about swapping four wheels for four legs, and booking a horseback safari through some of Africa’s wildest places? The bush is a very different place when you experience it in a saddle, without the rumblings of a 4x4. Galloping across the open plains is quite simply life-changing. No matter whether you’re an experienced equestrian or a nervous-but-keen beginner, there’s a riding safari for you. Try Kenya for its dazzling landscapes, South Africa for the whole family and Botswana for its sheer variety of expeditions.
