Riding in Africa - Adventurtime in Botswana
Botswana is a landlocked country located in Southern Africa. Botswana is flat, and up to 70% is covered by the Kalahari Desert. It is bordered by South Africa to the south and southeast, Namibia to the west and north, and Zimbabwe to the northeast. A mid-sized country of just over two million people, Botswana is one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world.

Botswana has diverse areas of wildlife habitat. In addition to the delta and desert areas, there are grasslands and savannas, where Blue Wildebeest, antelopes, and other mammals and birds are found. The Two Mashatu Game reserve has one of the few remaining large populations of the endangered African Wild Dog and one of the world's largest concentration of African elephants.

Outstandingly dramatic, Botswana encompasses striking salt pans, diamond-rich deserts and fertile flood plains which teem with game. The north and south offer superb wildlife-watching opportunities, making this one of southern Africa's top equestrian horseback riding safari destinations. We offer excellent Botswana horse back riding holidays – from luxury game lodges to the stunning Okavango Delta.


Riding Safaris in Botswana
Great game herds still roam Botswana in tremendous numbers. The country has not been touched by the political and poaching problems which have plagued so much of the continent. Most of the incomparable animals of Africa can be seen here; prepare to spot hippopotamus, elephant, giraffe, zebra, antelope, impala, cape buffalo, hyena, and over six hundred different types of birds. Botswana is a country the size of Kenya with only five percent of the population and a prosperous economy. 

Botswana is home to the Okavango River, the third largest in Africa. The Okavango rises in Angola and empties into the Kalahari Desert, contributing to the amazing and prolific Okavango Delta wildlife sanctuary. The Okavango Delta Safari emerses you in this spectacular wildlife area, with some unbelievable opportunities to horse ride amongst Africa’s wildest creatures. In the south you find the wild and undiscovered Mashatu Wilderness with its large herds of elephants - the perfect place to canter with zebras or wildebeest.
