Horse Riding
Ride through Africa’s wild landscapes, from the waterways of Botswana’s Okavango Delta to Kenya’s Great Rift Valley. Enjoy everything from gentle rides for beginners to longer riding safaris through the bush.
Horse riding offers a relaxed and immersive way to experience Africa, taking you through its landscapes at a pace that lets you appreciate the sights and sounds around you. At Nziza, we can arrange riding experiences at selected properties across East and Southern Africa, from short outings near camp to full-day and multi-day riding safaris.
Why Go Horse Riding on Safari?
Riding through the African bush gives you a unique sense of freedom. Without a vehicle between you and the landscape, you can feel the terrain beneath your horse, hear the sounds of the bush and move quietly through areas where wildlife may be nearby.
In Botswana’s Okavango Delta, you can ride through shallow waterways while watching wildlife along the floodplains. In Kenya, you might explore the Great Rift Valley on horseback, try polo or cross-country riding, or head out on longer rides through the bush. For experienced riders, Namibia also offers the chance to explore remote desert landscapes on horseback.
Things to Do on a Riding Safari
Horse riding experiences vary by property, but can include:
- Short rides for beginners, families and children
- Full-day and multi-day riding safaris
- Riding through the Okavango Delta’s waterways in Botswana
- Polo and cross-country riding at Deloraine in Kenya
- Rides through Kenya’s wildlife-rich landscapes
- Horseback expeditions through Namibia’s desert
- Riding alongside wildlife in selected safari areas
