Horseback riding vacations in
Africa
Horse riding holidays in Africa are a once in
a lifetime experience to live and breathe wildest Africa from the unique vantage
point of a horse. In Northern Africa dry plains and desert stretch out
undisturbed, and the countries of
Morocco and Jordan fuse African and
Eastern cultures. In East Africa
Tanzania and
Kenya promise savannah
and rainforests, with Mount Kilimanjaro as a backdrop. See the white Nile from horseback and raft in Uganda. Explore the wide open
beaches of Mozambique
on horseback. The wildlife reserves of Southern Africa are unparalleled in their
beauty – South Africa,
Zimbabwe,
Namibia, and
Botswana are all
excellent big game countries.
Africa has the world's largest mixture of wild animal population and diversity,
ranging from large predators like lions, hyenas and cheetahs to the more subdued
elephants, buffalo and camels roaming freely on open plains. An excursion into
an African jungle reveals snakes, monkeys and crocodiles. Africa is an exotic,
adventurous destination, with opportunities for spectacular horseback safaris.
Not only are the surroundings beautiful, but Africa's culture boasts a varied
and plentiful wealth of music and dance. After a long day of horseback riding
across open deserts or through dense jungles, relax in the birthplace of samba,
blues and jazz. These are horseback riding
equestrian holidays you will never
forget.

Highlands Riding Tours, Ecuador
8 days / 7 nights, rate from

A very good chance of seeing the mighty Andean condor as well as a host of other birds while traversing the pastoral valleys and then the open plains. We cross a huge variety of scenic terrain, firstly riding across the patchwork of tiny fields on dirt tracks then riding through luna-like landscapes, picking up speed on vast grassy plains. The pace is varied, including plenty of chances for long canters across rolling hills mixed with a steadier pace over more challenging surfaces. Where there is a break in...
Minimum riding level: Strong Intermediate
