2-Hour Horseback Trail

Hoedspruit

Book now for an exclusive 1-hour or 2-hour horseback trail. Discounted rates apply for 2 or more riders. Additional pax possible with prior arrangement. Email trails@africandreamhorsesafari.co.za or WhatsApp +27 64 681 8839.

Activity Description

As we leave the stables, we enter the Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate for a safari like no other. There is no loud sound of an engine, only the clip-clop of horse’s hooves, as we search for animals while winding our way through the African bush.

The estate is home to giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, waterbuck, sable, nyala, impala, kudu, steenbok, duiker, warthog and leopard to name a few, however, the chances of seeing all of these can never be guaranteed but it’s the anticipation of what’s around the next corner that makes the bush so exciting.

The trail follows a riverine course, which contains two dams (the second dam can only be reached on the 2-hour trails), where one can hope to see a variety of game quenching their thirst. Whether you’re a bird watcher, animal lover or just here for the ride, a horseback trail is the perfect way to experience the bush in its most natural form.

The 2-hour trail is best suited for riders with more experience. For riders with little to no experience and children, please select a 1-hour horseback trail.

African Dream Horse Safari

Customer Reviews

We had a great ride with Jess. The people at African Dream Horse Safaris were all very nice, the horses were well looked after and the ride through the estate was simply fantastic. You enjoy the landscape in a completely different way than on foot or by car and you also get much closer to the wild animals because they react much more relaxed to the horses. I can only recommend it! - Sabine


An absolutely amazing experience handled by professionals with a personal touch. We were perfectly matched with our horse companions and our guide Jess was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife we encountered. Will definitely be back for another session on the trails. - Ryan


We had a wonderful time! It's an unforgetable experience and we enjoyed the time in the bush on the back of your lovely horses. thank you very much - Gabriele


Jess lead the ride and was brilliant with our daughter who has autism. This was our second ride and I would not hesitate to recommend African Dream who are professional, friendly, well organised and have a fantastic manner both with their horses and with their clients. Their rides are through a wildlife estate where you are likely to see zebra, giraffe, various antelope. The pace is pitched to every clients ability. - Molly
