Imagine being on horseback within touching distance of a towering bull giraffe, or picture riding alongside a herd of exquisitely marked gemsbok. With an experienced and knowledgeable guide, the area around the placid Thamalakane River is a truly perfect environment for everybody to ride and experience the bush, even if they have never been on a horse before. There is a good chance of seeing hippos and crocodiles, as well as an abundance of birdlife.
