Riding safaris are a popular and exciting way of viewing Africa’s incredible scenery and wildlife.

Game viewing on elephant and horse back provides you with the unique opportunity of getting really close to wildlife that you could get by vehicle or on foot.

African elephant back rides are taken both in the early morning and in the afternoon, and include refreshments with breakfast, and snacks with sundowners.

Horses for riding safari are very well trained, and you are always backed up by our experienced riding guides and safari crew.

Riding Safaris are available in limited places across Africa. Most countries will offer some form of riding opportunities.

Certain camps or lodges which have stables will offer horse-riding as an individual activity (as an alternative to nature walks or game drives).

A few specific operators offer multi-day riding safaris which are suited to more experienced and dedicated riders. These longer safaris will typically involve spending up nights out in the bush in more adventurous.

Riding elephants through the bush in Africa is possible in very limited places in Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana.
