African Horseback Safaris were early pioneers of horse riding safaris in Africa and, nearly two decades later, they pride themselves on offering one of the most unique and exciting horseback adventures in the world.
Led by talented guides, their guests have 450,000 acres of pristine wilderness of the Okavango Delta to explore on calm, experienced horses, offering exhilarating rides alongside big game, such as giraffe, zebra and elephant.
Combined with Macatoo, their luxurious tented bush camp accommodation in an exquisite African setting, they offer the riding adventure of a lifetime.
Guests are accommodated in large and airy tents that blend seamlessly into their natural surroundings while still providing a luxurious, but authentic bush haven in which to relax.
Each tent is set on its own large, raised platform, offering panoramic views of a flood plain that can be enjoyed from the deck or even while lying in bed.
One tent is dedicated to single travelers on which no single supplement applies - subject to availability. Otherwise a Single Supplement of 50% on the daily rate would apply but only if not prepared to share twin-bedded accommodation if needed.
A spacious triple tent that can comfortably accommodate three adults is also available. Normal sharing rates applies.
The ‘family and friends suite' comprises two tents, directly linked by a raised walkway and private viewing deck above ground, which provides direct, easy access for parents, children and single travellers who are anxious about sleeping alone. No supplement applies.
The newly-built honeymoon tent for couples celebrating any special occasion, has an additional deck for private dining as well as a raised double tub bath offering a view of the floodplain. Honeymoon supplement charge of £60 per couple per night applies.
A short drive from camp, at the top of a long, sturdy ladder is our magical tree platform where we enjoy lunches, drinks and even the occasional sleepover under the African night sky.
