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

WILDLIFE & WINELANDS is a fantastic nine day horse riding holiday that incorporates two of the most iconic elements of South African tourism: African wildlife and famous wine estates.

 

WILDLIFE & WINELANDS RIDING SAFARI

Set within two of South Africa's most beautiful biosphere reserves (the Waterberg Biosphere and the Cape Winelands Biosphere), this trip combines four days exhilarating game viewing on horseback with riding through stunning scenery of the Cape’s winelands along with wine tasting at some of South Africa’s best wine estates.

Horizon Horseback Classic Safari - Horizon Horseback hosts the first four days on one of the Waterberg’s pioneering and most impressive wildlife reserves. The freedom to ride across 25,000 acres of bushveld, characterized by a huge diversity of species and unusually large herds of plains game, make this safari a truly rewarding horseback game viewing experience. The topography of the reserve is dramatic and varied, with a towering mountain backdrop to pristine bushveld, hidden valleys, kilometres of river frontage, sweeping plains and endless vistas. Species to be seen include buffalo, giraffe, hippo, zebra, wildebeest and a wide array of antelope, including the impressive sable antelope. However, the most exciting, without doubt, is the highly endangered white rhinoceros. If you have never encountered a rhino on horseback before, do it before it is too late!

Cape Winelands Riding - The Cape Winelands are amongst the most scenic winelands in the world. Splendid mountains form a dramatic backdrop to lush vineyards and gabled Cape Dutch homesteads steeped in history.  With its magnificent natural beauty, its rich cultural heritage and its world-renowned wines, the Winelands region is synonymous with all the best that the Cape has to offer.  Combining this setting with the joy of riding great horses and the privilege of unfettered access to some of country’s best known vineyards makes for a magical riding experience. Adding the decadence of multiple wine tastings, fine cuisine and luxurious spa treatments leads to truly unforgettable holiday..
