Safari in the saddle
Seeing wildlife from horseback is a completely different experience: animals are far more relaxed around horses than around vehicles, so you can often ride surprisingly close to grazing zebra and giraffe. Rides take place on open land outside the national parks, with experienced guides and well-schooled horses. Helmets are provided, and rides are matched to your experience.
