What are the benefits of an African horseback safari?

Many people’s mental images of a safari in Africa include olive-green Land Rovers rumbling across swaying grasslands. Or possibly silent hot-air balloons soaring over the Serengeti’s teeming herds. Contrast this with the reverberating sound of a stallion’s cantering hooves on the glistening salt flats. Unlikely.

Still, Africa is one of the best places to go horseback riding because of its combination of excellent guides, picturesque wilderness lodges, and the possibility of seeing the Big Five while out on safari. A horseback safari in Africa is the perfect vacation for those who like to keep their travels on the exciting side.

It’s easy to see how an African horse safari differs from a traditional safari. The familiar vibration of an engine and the snappy response to a foot on the gas pedal are no longer present. Instead, you can pretend to be a part of the forest’s native flora and fauna by adopting a disguise. In addition to being a much “greener” way to go through the wilderness, this method also allows you to participate in the natural cycle of animals.

An African horseback safari is the best way to experience nature up close and personal while also getting a serious dose of adrenaline.
