Africa is the ultimate horse riding holiday destination. There are many different options for riding safaris, whether riding amongst the migration in Kenya, splashing through the Okavango Delta in Botswana or running with giraffe from a luxury lodge in South Africa.
Africa also offers some of the best beach riding and trail riding holidays in the world - long canters along the South African Wild Coast, gallops across the Namib desert, trails through vineyards near Cape Town or trails to far-flung Lake Natron in Tanzania.Africa is a horse riders dream. It was absolutely fantastic.

A horseback safari in Botswana allows you to explore a true wilderness whilst also viewing large game species in their natural habitat. The northern Okavango Delta is a seasonal floodplain with lagoons and grassy islands supporting all of the Big Five. Mashatu, in the south, is the land of giants, with large baobab trees, elephant herds and the Limpopo River.
Explore a country steeped in history, discover its endemic flora and fauna and ride local Oromo horses on an equestrian journey across Ethiopia. From the Rift Valley to the jagged rock formations of the Bale mountains, and the medieval cave churches of Lalibela, Ethiopia is full of surprises. Adventurous riders will find in this country, which is also the cradle of mankind, a hidden gem set right in the heart of Africa.
Kenya is synonomous with horseback safaris - the wide open plains of the Maasai Mara and the annual migration of wildebeest and zebra are world-renowned events. Mobile riding safaris through the mara are luxurious and exhilarating for competent riders with strong chances of seeing the Big Five - elephant, lion, leopard, rhino and buffalo.

We have just returned from our first holiday in the saddle in Tuscany, Italy (Agroturismo Il Cornacchino) and could not be happier. The Equus Journeys team accommodated our last-minute booking and helped with every step of organizing the trip. Our destination, Agroturismo Il Cornacchino, all the staff and horse guides were perfect - welcoming,… accommodating, and funny :) The horses were perfectly trained and helped us with gaining confidence (I galloped for the first time!), even though the terrain was challenging at times and we all had different riding levels. We appreciated the flexibility

We just returned from the Ring of Kerry ride in Ireland and could not have had a better trip. Our group was 6 friends and family aged 56 - 71 yrs and we were well taken care of by the owner of the Kilarney Stables Donie, and excellent guides Orla, Katrina, and Erica. Horses were well matched to riders, steady and smooth rides. They are mostly… Percheron crosses bred by Donie himself and raised by him. Tack was comfortable. Iris, our Equus contact is a real gem smoothing our booking and choices with generous suggestions and insights. Her efforts went above and beyond amazing me with her generous

The Kham Riders was un unforgettable experience: being immersed in the Tibetan culture of the Kham region with its warmhearted people, its gorgeous landscapes and brilliant horses.The local team is superb: perfect combination of an American guide, Angela, who accompanied us during the non-riding days -who is very professional and extremely well… organized- and a Tibetan guide, Andy, with his team of horse handlers (Rictoh and co) who cared for us on the trail itself: also very professional, caring, generous... I never experienced such a qualified team! The riding is intense because of the

What a wonderful holiday at the Ranch Candien in Quebec. Iris planned a wonderful stay for us with a week at the ranch and then a planned tour using a hire car for an additional week where we took in whale watching, sea kayaking, bear watching and a tour of Quebec City. Katia and Carl with Ed and Mathis made our family so welcome and our daughter… (aged 10), cried her eyes out when we left as loved it so much. The horse riding was different for those of used to an English style but you learn so much and watching the cattle penning was great fun. Don’t let the fact that French is the

I just returned from the most magical week cantering across the gorgeous Azore Island coastline while on a 6 day trail riding vacation on Faial Island. Iris at Equus Journey's expertly guiding me towards a riding vacation appropriate for me, offering several options. From there, she took care of every detail. The horse lodge where I was based was… AMAZING! I did not want to leave. The riding was wonderful and the scenery amazing! There was also hiking the volcanoes and whale watching. I had never used Equus Journey's and was a bit unsure of what to expect but it was a flawless and perfectly

Had the most wonderful trip organised by Jo at Equus to South Africa and Botswana in February. Jo worked so hard to get us the best deal possible and we couldn't fault the whole experience. Everyone involved made sure we had the best possible holiday all 6 of us could have wished for. Nothing was to much trouble. It was a holiday of a lifetime which sounds a bit cheesy but is the only way to describe it and it will take a bit of beating. Thank you Equus and Jo in particular I will never forget it.
