The Big 5 Safari on Horseback

A Taste of Travel suggests an alternative to jeeps or trucks – a horseback safari. Apart from an exceptional riding experience in a magnificent part of the world, being on horseback is a gentle and unagressive entry into this environment – you are likely to be accepted as another grazer – quite an emotional experience. This safari, the Big 5, is for experienced riders with some considerable expertise. This is an extraordinary experience: riding in 2 countries over 9 days seeing the Big 5 – elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion and leopard – from your saddle. If you love horses and wildlife and you want to experience the ultimate adventure of the African Bush by horseback this is the safari for you.
