The minimum riding ability required is mastery of the basic aids, ability to post to the trot for stretches of 10 minutes at a time, to be comfortable at all paces and to be able to gallop out of trouble. It is a great advantage if you are a fit and proficient rider.

Within the heard of 60 + horses we have full and part Thoroughbred, Pure Arab, Anglo Arab, Boerpeds and local bush ponies. Our horses are all shapes and sizes, between 14 and 17 hands. They are well-schooled, responsive and even-tempered.

There is a wide range of horses - every effort is made to match horse and rider.

You will ride for at least 5 hours every day when we are based at Kujwana camp. When we move to, and back from, our fly camp you will enjoy a full day picnic ride (around 7 hours in the saddle).

A 5 hour morning can be tiring so in the afternoons guests tend to opt for a non-riding activity. We offer gamedrives, night drives, bird/game walks, mokoros (water levels permitting), power boats and fishing if season allows. Afternoon game drives and night spotting are also offered. Of course if you would like to ride in the afternoons we can arrange that no problem!

The Okavango Delta has been described as a water meadow. Palm islands, grassy flood plains, mopane forests and clear streams. Highest water is normally between May to September. Many of the flood plains are full at this time and the horses wade through from island to island.

All rides are lead by qualified professional guides. Safety is our priority. All camps and vehicles have radio communication and guides ride with a hand held radios. A demonstration is given at the beginning of the safari with a talk on how to handle big game situations. Should an accident happen all guests are registered with a helicopter evacuation service which can get you to a hospital within 20 minutes.
