Set in the remote Simalaha Conservancy, Zambian Horseback Safaris offers an intimate and adventurous way to experience Zambia’s wilderness from the saddle. Ride across vast open plains with exceptional opportunities to encounter wildlife and birdlife.

The family-run operation is led by Doug Evans, a lifelong horseman and conservationist with over 40 years of experience in Zambia. The safari herd of more than 25 horses includes Quarter Horses, Boerperds, Basotho Horses and Thoroughbred crosses. The horses are carefully trained and live as naturally as possible, moving freely together in the wilderness.

 

The Camp

The intimate camp accommodates a maximum of 8 guests in four comfortable tents, overlooking the Simalaha Plains. Guests can enjoy bush meals, sundowners, a plunge pool that doubles as a wildlife hide, and plenty of opportunities to relax in the surrounding wilderness.

The safari is fully inclusive, including accommodation, meals, bush picnics, snacks and selected house drinks. Wi-Fi, hot water, electricity and laundry facilities are available.

This is a wonderful choice for riders looking for a genuine wilderness experience, excellent horses and a more adventurous way to explore Zambia.
