AFRICAN HORSE REVIEWS

By far the best team I've ever worked with. They truly understood the look I was going for and completely nailed it! I would highly recommend them as a company, you simply just won't find any better team!

Aura BrooksGraphic Designer

Our riding safari at African Big Five Horse Safaris was so fantastic! We saw so much and so close! Our guide was knowledgeable and personable. The staff was so dear, the horses well trained and immaculate. I loved everything about our week in Makalali and hated to leave, hope to get back.

Jane ClevelandBig 5 Horse Safari, SA

The Namid desert safari was the most challenging, exhilarating unforgettable experience of a lifetime. It was tough physically but that is what made it so special. Andrew guided us through some of the most remote, wild and haunting landscapes on the planet. The horses were fantastic and matched every rider to their level and personality. Isabel Juby was very helpful and insightful in helping me choose this trip and making sure everything was in order from packing list to travel documents.I will be back for more!

Our trip was beyond perfect- literally a dream come true! We are in the process of gathering our thoughts together to write the best review we can. We want it to convince everyone that this is a must do trip, which we have your expert planning to thank! We’ve already had so many people ask how they can plan a trip as wonderful as ours! Thanks again for all your help in the planning stages!
