Ride Botswana offers exceptional horse safaris through some of Botswana’s most spectacular wilderness areas, including the Okavango Delta and Makgadikgadi Salt Pans. Their safaris combine outstanding riding, experienced guiding and close encounters with wildlife.

 

In the Okavango Delta, guests explore this extraordinary water wilderness on horseback, riding through flooded plains, along elephant trails and between remote islands. The mobile safari camp moves according to water levels and wildlife movements, creating a truly wild and flexible experience. Guests stay in comfortable lightweight tents with proper beds, bucket showers and bush toilets, with delicious meals cooked over an open fire.

 

The family-run operation has been led by David and Robyn Foot for more than 30 years. David is one of Africa’s most experienced horse guides, with over 38 years of guiding experience. Their herd of more than 50 horses includes Thoroughbred crosses, Boerperds, Appaloosas, Shire crosses and Botswana Kalahari ponies. Horses are carefully matched to riders and are well schooled, fit and adapted to the African environment.

 

For experienced riders, Ride Botswana offers the opportunity to experience Botswana’s wilderness at a faster pace, including exhilarating canters across open plains and alongside wildlife. Less experienced riders can enjoy gentler riding and shorter experiences.

A wonderful choice for riders wanting an authentic, adventurous safari where horses, wildlife and wilderness take centre stage.
