The HORIZON HORSEBACK portfolio offers arguably the best horse riding holidays and safaris in South Africa. They can be enjoyed separately, or combined to make a wonderfully varied African horseback vacation.
Based in the stunning, beautiful malaria-free Waterberg Biosphere Reserve, the Horizon Horseback portfolio offers one of the most varied and exciting horse riding vacations anywhere in the world. Our emphasis is on horses and horsemanship and with our herd of over 80 much-loved horses, Horizon can cater for all levels of rider, making it the ideal riding holiday for both novice and experienced rider. While Horizon is the perfect destination for those who truly love horses, it is also renowned for its relaxed atmosphere and ability to make guests feel completely at home.
Horizon Horseback Safaris operates on some of the Waterberg's most prestigious private reserves and caters for guests whose primary interest is to encounter African wildlife on horseback. Our horse riding safaris offer quality game viewing on horseback and exhilarating encounters with three of Africa's Big Five. For the complete "Big Five" riding experience, Horizon Horseback Safaris combines with Limpopo Valley Horse Safaris in Botswana, to ensure riders an unsurpassed and affordable opportunity to encounter on horseback not only rhino, buffalo and leopard found in the Waterberg, but also elephant and lion in Botswana.
At Horizon Horseback Adventures guests can experience a number of riding options: cattle mustering, horse riding with game, polocrosse, swimming on horseback, gymkhana, Western games, cross country jumping, natural horsemanship demonstrations and a variety of outrides, all on 12,000 hectares of wonderful riding country, across miles of unspoilt and picturesque savannah.
