Venturing into the wilderness with just the essentials, your horses and companions, brings home what is important in life. The feeling of freedom is addictive and life-changing. A horse riding expedition is all about the personal journey you make and gives you an incredible sense of achievement and the satisfaction of overcoming challenges and pushing your own limits.
As a small group, riding over vast distances, with no one else around for miles, the bonds you form with your fellow intrepid travellers, guide, crew and horses is something truly special. You become like a family and often these bonds last a lifetime - with strangers becoming friends around the campfire. Many of our riders have met up again, year after year for similar horseback adventures.
The horses used for these expedition rides are specifically chosen for their willing temperaments, endless endurance and comfortable paces. Between safaris, the horses stay fresh, healthy and fit living out in thousands of hectares of natural bush in a natural herd environment. Day after day of galloping over endless open plains and traversing over tough obstacles forms a strong bond between horse and rider. Each rider is well-matched with their steed and through the course of your horse riding holiday, you’ll inevitably fall in love with your equine partner. Many a returning adventurer has dreamed of taking their horse home with them! (And legend has it this has happened a couple of times!)
