Winter / early spring beauty here in the bush
The chill has left us and the glorious warm golden days are here. Each season in the Waterberg has it's own charm and this is one of my personal favorites....Tanya

| The HORIZON HORSEBACK safari guarantees stunning game viewing on horseback. Riding through large herds of antelope and zebra on the plains is an experience not to be missed. |

SAFARI RIDINGHorizon safaris is for experienced riders only, as we do ride with dangerous game. We have 25 well trained horses on the reserve and safaris are limited to 8 guests. This private reserve was one of the pioneer game reserves in the Waterberg. Across its 17,500 acres, the diversity of species and sheer size of plains game herds make it a rewarding game viewing experience. Species to be seen include rhino, buffalo, giraffe, mountain and burchall's zebra, eland, blesbok, impala, kudu, wilderbeest, springbuck, hartebeest, waterbuck, mountain and common reedbuck, buskbuck, hippo, ostrich, golden wilderbeest, black impala, leopard and the endangered sable antelope. |

The topography of the reserve is dramatic: a backdrop of the Waterberg mountain plateau, mountain tracks and passes, dams, streams and waterfalls in the summer, large open sandy plains where the game congregates and bushveld woodland where other game browse. The morning rides are 4-6 hours, whereas afternoons include shorter rides, a game drive or bush walk. Over the course of your safari, the rides will explore the different habitats so that the true diversity of species can be viewed. Although the rides are taken as a group, we endeavour to satisfy the requests of all our guests individually throughout the safari, making it a truly magical experience. |
