Horse Back Safaris

Nyanja Safaris can organize African Horsback Safaris. Horse Back Safaris are led by experienced ‘rider guides’, and they offer prolific birding and game viewing opportunities whilst in the comfort and viewing vantage of your saddle. The best riding safaris are undoubtedly in Okavango in Botswana, Nyika in Malawi and Victoria Falls and Simalaha Wildlife Conservancy in Zambi

We can tailor make you a horse back safari – some examples:

Simalaha Wildlife Conservancy

At Nyange Safariss, the first thing that comes to mind is a horseback safari in the Simalaha Wildlife Conservancy.

Here, one saddles up and canters through the vast stretches of protected wildlife covering 180 000 ha of communal land in the Chobe Zambezi dispersal area. With Botswana’s Chobe National Park, Zambia’s Kafue National Park close to its borders, and the famed Victoria Falls, a horseback safari here is the perfect add-on to the more ‘traditional’ or ‘expected’ safari.

What better way to have your first horseback riding experience than in the Zambian wilderness? Or, if you’re an experienced rider, imagine how it must feel to ride alongside herds of giraffe, zebra and thundering wildebeest? The only requirements are a sense of adventure, moderate fitness, confidence, and an age older than 12. However, special considerations can be made if you’ve booked the camp exclusively and are traveling with younger children.

Since 2013, Simalaha Wildlife Conservancy has been a place reminiscent of yester-year wildernesses, all thanks to the vision of two chiefs and their communities. On 6 October 2013, the first wildlife translocation occurred in the area. Since then, more than 3,000 animals have been rewilded here. Treasured and fiercely protected by the surrounding communities, these numbers continue to grow.
