A horseback safari is a wonderful way to explore the banks of the River Nile. Meet the local people in traditional Ugandan villages and appreciate the sheer beauty of the surrounding areas.
The company is owned by a Kiwi and an Aussie and the horses are well looked after, well behaved and live outside on vast grazing paddocks. They are all kept to a standard you would expect to find in first world countries.
This safari includes an overnight stop at the Haven - a beautifully situated lodge, with stunning views of the river, including one of the Grade 5 rapids! Accommodation is in either mid-range (no en-suite, but fabulous communal showers with hot water) or luxury (en-suite) bandas. The rate also includes all meals.
So, saddle up and enjoy the ride!
The maximum weight limit for guests is 95kg, but most of the horses cannot carry more than 80 or 90kg.
Fully adjustable helmets and a full-length raincoat are provided. We ride with English style saddles, not western-style trail saddles (as are often used in north and South America).
It is recommended that you bring own CLOSED FOOTWEAR (trainers, boots etc), long trousers (to prevent stirrups leather rubs), and of course, a camera!
You can safely leave your bags at our premises. All horses have saddlebags for storing camera, wallets, sunscreen and water etc whilst out on safari.
This safari is for experienced riders only, as you will be in the saddle for up to 9 hours.
All rides are accompanied by at least two experienced horse guides.
