About Horseback Safaris at Mattanu Private Game Reserve
Horseback Safaris are some of the most amazing trips you can ever take in a wildlife environment at Mattanu Private Game Reserve only 55km from Kimberley. Enjoy a guided game ride to experience some of our Northern Cape scenery and wildlife. With over 30 different species of animals to be viewed this truly is the most unique way to see the wonderful fauna and flora in the Green Kalahari area.
A horseback safari at Mattanu is so much more than a ride through the bush - it is a completely unique and all-encompassing wildlife safari experience for both novice and expert riders. On horseback, the African landscape embraces you wholeheartedly and offers a glimpse into the tranquil yet unrelenting world of the reserve's wildlife.
The difference between a typical safari and a horseback safari is simple: There's no longer the grind of a Land Cruiser engine under you or the predictable acceleration of a pedal to the floor. Besides it being a far "greener" way to explore the wild, you are no longer a mere observer of wildlife, but truly experience their circle of life on their level. If you are after sheer immersion in nature with the ultimate adrenaline rush, a horseback safari at Mattanu is the way to go.
Book a 2 hour ride and stop halfway for a picnic in the bush with a complimentary bottle of champagne for only R1250.00 per person. (Minimum of 2 persons per trip).
Alternatively book a 1 hour trip followed by breakfast for only R690 per person.
From beginners to advanced riders are welcome. Bookings are essential.
