Horseback Safaris

Our horseriding partners West Coast Horsetrails, is based on our reserve and offers a variety of experiences suitable for any rider. From a bumble on a pony for the little ones, to a short 1.5 hour safari, to extended rides combining your horseback safaris with a ride to the beach.

The benefits of a horse safari include a lack of car noises, allowing you to immerse yourself fully in the bush. Many animals are also more comfortable around horses than around cars often allowing you to get closer to the animals.

If your group has a number of horseriders and a number of people more keen for a guided game drive, you can split the groups and do both.

The stables are located centrally on the reserve and you can make bookings either directly through West Coast Horsetrails or book via our booking office. for more information please contact us.

The program will depend on what ride duration you choose, but in principle you will drive onto the reserve and up to the horse stables, where you will have a chance to meet the horses and get fitted out with your helmet. 

After your horse has been selected (based on your horseriding experience), you will saddle up and head out for your safari. 

You will be following the lead rider/guide, who will take you around the reserve and onto the beach (if requested).
