A Botswana Riding Safari – A Personal View

Jo Gordon riding in the Okavango DeltaTo have the chance to ride as part of a longer trip visiting camps in Botswana was an exceptional opportunity. African Horseback Safaris run riding holidays in the Abu concession within the vast Okavango Delta. They have a variety of highly fit and responsive horses to suit any ability.

The guiding is outstanding and galloping alongside giraffe is a fantastic memory as is swimming the horses through the narrow waterways in search of game. African Horseback Safaris’ base camp, Macatoo, is simple but very comfortable although a night's fly camping is a lovely alternative in a longer stay
