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

| A safari with a difference: the Surf and Turf holiday is designed for those who love riding, wildlife and the sea. Enjoy 4 days in the fresh sea air along the stunning unspoilt Wild Coast, followed by 4 days exhilarahting game viewing on horseback deep in the Waterberg mountains to complete your African experience. |

SURF AND TURF COMBINATIONHave you ever dreamed of galloping through the spray along deserted beaches or of riding next to giraffe and zebra? Well, if you have the surf and turf is the safari for you. The first 4 days of this 8 day combination, take you on a journey along the Wild Coast wilderness. This coastline, like the name suggests, is wild. Unspoilt and deserted beaches make for exhilarating gallops along the surf. The ride also takes you to the jacaranda wreck, crosses the mouth of the Kobonqaba river and explores rolling countryside through traditional villages. For those inclined for a little pampering there is also time for a spa treatment or massage en route! Following a flight from East London to Johannesburg and a transfer to the Waterberg, Horizon Horseback Safaris hosts the next 4 days. |

This privately owned reserve is deep in the Waterberg mountains in Limpopo Proivince, and 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, wilderbeast, springbuck, hartebeast, waterbuck, mountain and common reedbuck, bushbuck, hippo, ostrich, golden wilderbeast, black impala, and the endangered sable anteloppe and leopard. The thatched lodge is perched on a koppie on the edge of a large lake with a resident hippo pod and stunning views of the Waterberg escarpment. All rooms are en suite and the three double rooms open out onto private verandahs overlooking the lake. |
