Travelling solo is one of the most rewarding ways to experience Africa. Our horse safaris and riding holidays are ideal for independent travellers who want to share their love of horses, wildlife, and adventure with others. Most guests arrive alone and quickly feel part of a like-minded group, united by a shared passion for riding and adventure. These safaris are designed to give solo riders confidence, comfort, and the freedom to explore Africa on horseback.
Few experiences are as romantic as exploring Africa on horseback together. Whether you prefer a luxurious lodge, a private tented camp, or a secluded desert trail, our riding holidays for couples combine adventure with intimacy. Ride side by side through dramatic landscapes, enjoy sundowners for two, and share unforgettable moments surrounded by Africa’s wild beauty.
An African horse safari is the perfect way to reconnect with friends and create new shared memories. From exhilarating rides through open wilderness to relaxed evenings around the campfire, these safaris are built for adventure and camaraderie. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone or planning a once-in-a-lifetime trip together, every ride promises stories worth retelling.
We often get asked if it is possible to team a horse riding safari with non-riders? The answer is yes. We have several horse safaris that work extremely well with a mixed group, or couple, that has both riders and non-riders. This is the same for families; we can cater for children from the age of 5 in some of our reserve-based rides, and then from 12 + in fence-less areas where you can come across the Big 5. Please inquire if you would like more details on this.
Our safaris are equally rewarding for non-riders who want to share the African experience with their horse-loving partners, friends, or family. At many destinations, non-riders can enjoy daily game drives, walking safaris, cultural visits, and spa treatments while riders head out on horseback. Everyone reunites for meals, sundowners, and wildlife encounters, ensuring no one ever has to compromise on adventure or comfort.
For those planning a group adventure, be it a riding club, a family gathering, or a special celebration, our group safaris offer flexibility and fun. We tailor each itinerary to suit your pace and preferences, whether you’re seeking luxury, wilderness, or a mix of both. With exclusive use options available at many lodges, or private trail rides, you can truly make the experience your own.
