AFRICA IN THE SADDLE - Vintage & Imvelo Horseback Safari

Share:

Introduction

At 14,651 sq km Hwange National Park is Zimbabwe's largest unfenced Park and possibly one of Africas greatest in terms of its incredible diversity of wildlife boasting over 100 species of mammals, including 19 large herbivores and over 400 species of birds. Hwange is best known for having one of the largest Elephant populations in the world. Our Vintage and Imvelo Combined Horse Safari allows you to experience two dramatically different but equally breathtaking areas of one of the last true unfenced wildernesses of Africa.

This ride begins in the East of the park in true vintage explorer style before heading down to the South  where you get to ride on the famous Ngamo Plains. There are a range of activities to enhance you horseback adventure such as game drives both day and night, walking safaris, birdwatching, community and conservation tours and the highlight for most guests is the Elephant Express Railcar which transfers you from the East to the South of the park. 

Within our herd of  twenty-two top safari horses with breeds ranging  from thoughrobreds, boereperds, percherons and quaterhorses and heights varying between 15,3 to 16,7 hands you are bound to find your perfect partner.
