As we leave the stables, we enter the Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate for a safari like no other. There is no loud sound of an engine, only the clip-clop of horse’s hooves, as we search for animals while winding our way through the African bush.
The estate is home to giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, waterbuck, sable, nyala, impala, kudu, steenbok, duiker, warthog and leopard to name a few, however, the chances of seeing all of these can never be guaranteed but it’s the anticipation of what’s around the next corner that makes the bush so exciting.
The trail follows a riverine course, which contains two dams (the second dam can only be reached on the 2-hour trails), where one can hope to see a variety of game quenching their thirst. Whether you’re a bird watcher, animal lover or just here for the ride, a horseback trail is the perfect way to experience the bush in its most natural form.
The 2-hour trail is best suited for adult riders with more experience. For riders with children, please select a 1-hour horseback trail.
Please note: we are unable to accommodate beginner riders or those with no previous experience.
A gate entry code is required to enter the estate. This will be provided once the booking has been confirmed.

My daughter Amelie thoroughly enjoyed her outride, once again! Thank you to you and your staff for making her equestrian dreams come true :) - Anne
The experience at African Dream Horse Safari was fantastic. The team were professional and friendly and our guide was educational. The horses were well cared for and well mannered. The location was great with quiet trails through the African bushveld. Although game was quiet that morning we did get quite close to a giraffe which was an amazing experience. - Marc
We had the most amazing time on our ride. The horses and stable environment are some of the best I've seen. Jess our guide was very friendly and very patient with my nervous husband. She was also very knowledgeable about the surrounding wildlife and habitat. Would definitely recommend and will also revisit if we are in the area in the future. - Mandy
My wife and I had a lovely 2h ride, through the Reserve. I am an experienced rider but my wife is less so, but she felt safe and looked after by Jess, who accompanied us. How often in your life can you ride a horse through the African bush, seeing Giraffes, Zebra & Antelope? A memorable experience. - Clive
