Horse Riding in Tanzania: A Journey through Iconic Landscapes
Traversing some of Africa’s most iconic landscapes and setting to the backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro, horse riding in Tanzania promises an unforgettable experience.
Rediscovering the ‘Safari of Old’
As you return to a ‘safari of old,’ following in the footsteps of the majestic African elephants, you will be astounded by the spectacular beauty of the African bush. Explore some of the last true wildernesses on earth as you become part of a herd of cantering zebra, creep up on a munching elephant, or gaze up in wonder at a tall giraffe.
Trail Riding Adventure with Mobile Camp Setup
Trail riding, with the assistance of a mobile camp set-up, and spending seven nights watching sunsets, sitting around campfires, and sleeping out in the wilderness will be an adventure. The fabulous, varied riding terrain will include savannah grasslands, forest canopies, and thick scrub—riding in Arusha National Park for part of your trip.
Exhilarating Game Viewing on Horseback
Ride alongside the game and enjoy the thrilling experience of cantering next to passing wildebeests. If you are lucky, you will likely encounter giraffes, zebras, elephants, and plenty of other game—maybe even some big cats.
You will take on this challenge with the help of a fit and responsive four-legged friend. This riding holiday in Tanzania is for experienced riders only, as you will be riding in areas with big games. Non-riding family members, partners, or friends can join the adventure on a custom-made Land Rover, following a similar route and joining for all meals and other activities.
