Horse Riding Holidays in Africa
This is where it all began for us. Africa. The continent that started Globetrotting, that lit the spark, that showed us what horse riding holidays could truly be. Wild landscapes, incredible wildlife, safari riding that delivers the adventure of a lifetime. Africa is the ultimate horseback riding destination.
There’s a reason Africa captures every globetrotter’s imagination. It’s a continent of extremes: vast savannahs dotted with acacia trees one moment, shimmering waterways filled with hippos the next. Ancient deserts that glow red at sunset, bushveld where elephants wander beneath baobab trees, plains where you can gallop alongside zebra and giraffe.
To ride here is to become part of the animal kingdom, rather than just an observer. You’ll cross rivers with wildlife watching from the banks, canter through territories where lions roam, and camp under star-filled skies. Whether you’re swimming your horse through the Okavango Delta or traversing Namibia’s endless dunes, Africa delivers moments that change you.
