The vast open landscapes and untamed beauty of Namibia set the stage for the horseback riding adventure of a lifetime. Discover the harmony between man, creature, and creation on a multi-day horse riding safari complete with wild game, infinite space and solitude, giant canyons and coastline, and star-filled skies.

THE HORSES
Most of the 100 horses are crossbred from Arabs, Hanoverians, Trakehner, Lipizzaner, Haflinger, and all types of ranch horses. They were raised outdoors in the rough environment of the bush. They are swift, surefooted, and trained according to principles of natural horsemanship.

ITINERARIES

Namib Desert Trail - Cross the oldest desert in the world from Khomas Hochland Mountains and escarpment to the Kuiseb Canyon, Tinkas, Tumas, and Welwitschia Plains, Moon Valley, Swakop River, coastal dunes, and the Atlantic Ocean.

Africa's Greatest Canyon Trail - A combination of dramatic canyon landscapes, spacious desert plains, and the mighty Orange River. The trail crosses Fish River Canyon, Gondwana Park, and Aussenkehr Park within the Nama Karoo Desert biome. Experience inaccessible countryside and riding without limitations.

Desert, Dunes, and Diamonds - Explore the old pioneer and ox wagon routes across the restricted diamond area in the southwestern corner of Namibia. This well-protected area has been a haven for unadultered wilderness offering incredible scenery and history.

Damaraland-Skeleton Coast Trail - This spectacular region is home to desert-adapted elephant, giraffe, cheetah, and rhino. Ancient craters, open spaces, vast stretches of the Skeleton Coast, prevalent wildlife, and remnants from prehistoric times characterize the landscape.
