Damaraland Horse Riding Safari
Program Overview
Saddle up for Africa's most exhilarating horse-riding safaris, set against the backdrop of Namibia's magnificent and hauntingly beautiful landscapes. With over two decades of expertise in guiding equestrian expeditions across these rugged terrains, this program promises the ultimate experience for those seeking the thrill of the wild and the freedom of the open plains.
Your possessions are transported by truck which sets up camp, allowing you to sleep beneath the African night sky, making memories that last a lifetime. Each day starts with the sunrise, departing around 8 am. You'll spend 4-5 hours in the saddle before lunch, followed by a 1-3 hour break, then another 2-3 hours of afternoon riding across diverse terrains, including tough stretches that test your spirit.
Step into a world where the desert becomes your playground and the vast horizons of Namibia's Damaraland. These true adventures take you through ancient craters and prehistoric remnants, revealing the delicate yet intricate tapestry of colors that paint these extraordinary landscapes. Create meaningful connections with other riders and the horse you'll be riding throughout the adventure.
