Horse riding holidays in Botswana

‘This was such a deeply personal and immersive experience. It exceeded my expectations. From riding the amazing horses in the delta, surrounded by the beautiful and plentiful wildlife, to trotting and cantering alongside giraffes, and spotting cheetahs hunting, observing the majestic elephants with the babies at play… every day was a gift for my soul.’

‘This trip had been in the works for a long time, and I had very high expectations, and they were all exceeded. It was by far the best trip I’ve ever had! Everything was perfect, from my trusted horses Moumo and Waterford, who made the experience so much better, to the amazing, knowledgeable guides who kept me safe and fulfilled my dreams with a canter through the water and exciting canters with giraffes and zebras. The game viewing was incredible, and I got to see pretty much all the animals I wanted. The team was very hospitable and friendly, making me feel right at home. The accommodations were excellent and comfortable, and the pool was a great relief from the high heat of October. Sleeping under the stars at night was magical. It made all of my wildest horsegirl dreams come true, and I want to do it all over again!’

‘The Okavango Delta was magnificent. We saw elephants and hippos and antelope right off the bat! Each day was just one more adventure after another. I rode two beautiful mares who took great care of me. I met some wonderful people from all over the world and we all had a blast. But best of all were our staff and guides. Because my sister is a non-rider, she had jeep safaris every day with Rodgers, who was a savant at finding animals. He was fabulous, as were Mmushi and Boi, who guided us on horseback. I never felt unsafe or threatened in any way. All in all, I could not have wished for a better birthday present. It was a life-changing experience and one I will never forget.’
