Drakensberg Horse Riding

Horse riding in the Drakensberg provides an equine experience of a lifetime!

The Northern Drakensberg provides unspoilt scenery as you climb mountains, race over plains and cross streams on a hardy mountain horse in the foothills of this World Heritage Site.

Descend into gorgeous river valley's and meander along the winding streams. Panoramic views can be seen from atop the Montusi Ridge which shows the splendour of the High and Little Berg.

Experienced riders can enjoy a few good canters and a phenomenal gallop while beginner groups enjoy the views at a relaxing pace.
