The Kalahari Desert, for which Botswana is famous, does not have any roads, so traversing this immense landscape by horse or flight might be the only way to venture through this charmed wildlife wonderland. Expect to travel through eternal savannahs and dunes, salt pans and momentary lakes, which seem to be here one day and gone the next. With Botswana slowly but surely becoming Africa’s most sought after wildlife destination, a Botswana safari will give you the opportunity to explore its wilderness.
Get the chance to see and go to places that would often not be possible on foot or 4x4. Horse riding in Kenya is deemed to be an exhilarating experience as you get to traverse through landscapes which boast huge populations of wildebeest and a large variety of game and birds. You will also get the opportunity to experience the customs of the Masai Tribe, an African community which has largely kept its holistic approach to life even in modern day Kenya.
Namibia is a desolate yet wonderfully interesting country visually, historically and culturally. Since the country is made up largely of desert, many areas are only accessible by horse. This makes it an ideal destination for long horse rides through parts of the Kalahari desert and the Namib desert that might make visitors feel that they have been transported to planet Mars.
Tanzania really does have an amazingly diverse landscape to explore on horseback that simply won’t be possible to experience on a driving safari. Opting to go on a horse riding expedition in Tanzania will show you a new world of splendid wildlife and scenes of the most grueling mountain in all of Africa, Mt Kilimanjaro, which has captured the imagination of explorers for many years.
