A Wildlife Encounter Like No Other
Most safari experiences put you behind glass. This one puts you in the saddle.
On this guided horseback wildlife safari, you will explore a private reserve nestled within the Magaliesberg, one of the oldest mountain ranges on Earth at over 2 billion years old. Unlike vehicle-based game drives, horses are accepted as non-threatening by resident wildlife, which means the animals do not scatter. They graze, move, and behave naturally as your group passes within remarkable proximity.
You will ride through rolling grasslands, acacia woodland, and elevated ridgelines with sweeping views across the valley. Along the way, your guide will track herds of Giraffe, Zebra, Kudu, and various Antelope species that roam freely across the reserve. The entire experience is motor-free and unhurried.
