Horse Riding Safari — Matobo Hills

Explore the ancient granite landscape of Matobo on horseback.

Price Range:

Regions:

Accommodation:

Matobo Hills is one of the most extraordinary landscapes in Africa — granite domes and balancing boulders that have been here since before life was complex, now draped in bush that hides leopard, white rhino, sable, and zebra. Exploring it on horseback, at the pace of an animal, changes everything about the experience. You move quietly, you cover ground, you see the landscape as the wildlife sees it.
