Intro
African Horseback Safaris were early pioneers of horse riding safaris in Africa and, nearly two decades later, we pride ourselves on offering one of the most unique and exciting horseback adventures in the world.
Led by talented guides, our guests have 450,000 acres of pristine wilderness of the Okavango Delta to explore on calm, experienced horses, offering exhilarating rides alongside big game, such as giraffe, zebra and elephant.
Combined with Macatoo, our luxurious tented bush camp accommodation in an exquisite African setting, we offer the riding adventure of a lifetime.
African Horseback Safaris is the winner of the 'Best Riding Safari in Africa' for two consecutive years and is the ultimate safari.
Highlights
African Horseback Safaris were early pioneers of horse riding safaris in Africa and, nearly two decades later, pride themselves on offering one of the most unique and exciting horseback adventures in the world.
Based at Macatoo Camp, guests have 450,000 acres of pristine wilderness of the Okavango Delta to explore on calm, experienced horses, offering exhilarating rides alongside big game such as giraffe, zebra and elephant.
Need To Know
The 10,000 sq. mile expanse of wild delta ignites the senses; it is a freedom rarely tasted. The Macatoo staff find new ways of surprising guests every day: lunches and sundowners spring up in the most unexpected locations.
Safaris
Red lechwe, common reedbuck and hippo in the floodplains, lagoons and channels. Zebra, impala, blue wildebeest and giraffe on the sandveld areas; warthog, tsessebe and kudu. Carnivore sightings occur regularly, with the most common being lion and spotted hyena, but leopard are seen regularly and wild dog packs regularly ‘den’ near Macatoo.
Wildlife
Fast and thrilling gallops alongside giraffe, zebra and buck, in water and on land; quietly stalk bigger game such as buffalo and elephant and take time to indulge in some of the best bird watching in the world.
