  Horse Riding in South Africa: No matter if you are
a galloping professional or an apprehensive beginner, horse riding in South Africa is an incredible
experience. Exploring long sandy beaches, lush vineyards or mystic mountains on horseback
is an entirely unique experience. Discover diverse wildlife, birdlife
and many picturesque South African treasures whilst horse riding. Let the horse do the
work whilst you relax, breathe in the fresh air and admire the beautiful sights around
you.
There are quite a number of places to enjoy horse riding in South Africa. The Eastern Cape, Free State, Gauteng, KwaZulu Natal, Mpumalanga, Limpopo, North West
Province, Northern
Cape and the Western
Cape all offer numerous awesome horse riding trials. There are also quite a few South
African horse riding trails tailored for the disabled or otherwise handicapped. In
northern KwaZulu Natal you can enjoy the beauty of Lake Bhangazi and St
Lucia on horseback. You can choose to enjoy a day trip around the lake, or stay
overnight and enjoy the area at night time too.
Limpopo is home
to South African horse riding safaris with excellent game viewing
in the Waterberg area. There are a number of companies that offer day horse rides as well
as the option to spend up to 10 days out in the wild - experiencing the beautiful Hermans
and Overberg areas on horseback. The Western Cape’s gorgeous white sandy beaches
provide many an opportunity for fast gallops through the waters, or casual meandering
through the dunes on horseback - truly a day well spent.
South African horse riding safari’s in South
Africa's game reserves allows you the unique opportunity of getting incredibly close
to the wildlife in the area. The smell of the horses sweat overpowers the smell of humans
and animals like giraffe, elephant
and rhino
can be viewed sometimes from just a few meters. It’s a breathtaking experience to be
so close to these powerful and awe-inspiring creatures. The Waterberg Mountains in Limpopo
have sweeping grasslands that offer fast riding opportunities, while the mountainous areas
can be explored at a slower pace.
Bokpoort Horseback Adventures in the eastern Free State has short
rides near a farm or multi-day trails that embrace the Lesotho border and head up into the
beautiful mountains. You have the choice between comfortable and affordable accommodation
or backpacker-style accommodation. Biggarsberg Horse Trails on Larksend Farm near
Ladysmith in KwaZulu Natal offers the beginner and experienced rider the opportunity to
combine the excitement of horseback riding and the comfort of first-class accommodation in
an area of implausible natural beauty.
The Amadiba Adventure Project Trail is a horse-riding trek through the remote northern
coastline of the Transkei. It is run and managed by the local community. Therefore
everybody gets a share of the income by providing horses, accommodation, food, bag
carrying and any other services that might be needed. This is an awesome opportunity to
explore the beautiful escarpments of this area and discover true African heritage.
Whether you are planning to take a few days off and enjoy a safari on horse back,
or just a quick gallop down the beach, horse riding in South Africa is sure to be a
memorable experience. |
