Botswana Riding Safari

Gallop into the wild on this journey across Botswana’s wildernesses. A riding safari boasts encounters that cannot be had on foot or by vehicle. Watch elephants ford the waterways of the Okavango, unnoticed on horseback. Admire the sweeping desert and endless views of the Kalahari as you traverse the grasslands of Botswana’s deserts. For riders, this is the ultimate adventure led by expert guides who put yours and your horse’s safety first – get off the map as you ride into the African bush.

Journey highlights

  • Relish being somewhere truly wild, the remote locations of the lodges and camps make for an intoxicating safari. 

  • Riding through the bush unseen by the wildlife allows for you to get safely close to Botswana’s famous animals.

  • If the legs get sore, there are a myriad of other ways to explore; sleep out under the stars in a treehouse, glide through the Okavango by boat or use your feet on a walking safari. 

  • Animal welfare is paramount here with the horses being lovingly cared for and well rested between rides.
