Horse Safaris In The Berg
Horse Safaris in the magnificent Drakensberg region are plenty to come by. Touring riders often find themselves trailing off onto other more challenging routes, purely because of the thrill and excitement of having so many routes to choose from. So whether it being in the mountains or bush, or even through old chartered battlefields, do not miss this wonderful horse safari opportunity.
For beginner riders, I recommend that you use this holiday period to hone your horse riding skills and gain as much experience as you can. There are numerous bridle paths that run through the breathtaking countryside, and these paths can be handled with ease for any novice rider. If you are a bit more experienced on the saddle, use the vast amount of foothills in the region, and challenge yourself to take on the steep mountain trails on your own! Of course, riding the mountains is one thing, but make the effort and explore some of the grassland and bushveld rides as well. They’re a lot of fun, and great for family rides. Then there are also game rides that give you a birds-eye view of a variety game, be it a large herd of impala galloping across in the savannah, a giraffe drinking at Spioenkop Dam, or a magnificent white rhino grazing in the bush.
There are also a number of different overnight alternative rides available, including a testing two-day horse trail through the rolling and bushy hills of Kwazulu-Natal that ultimately leads into the high grasslands of the historic Spioenkop mountain, the site of one of the most fearsome battles of the Anglo-Boer War.
