About Africa by Horse
We connect riders and horse lovers with Africa's best horseback safaris
Why travel with us?
Safety
We're by your side every step of the way – from the first contact and booking inquiry until you’re on the plane home, filled with new memories. We match you with the right horseback safari, and guide you through all the practical details, big and small. Our mission is for you to feel safe, well taken care of, and able to focus on the experience.
Transparency
You should always know what you're booking. That’s why we are clear about what is included, what the experience is like, and what you can expect on site – from accommodation to animal encounters and pace. No unexpected surprises, just clear information, so you can feel confident in your decision when choosing your riding trip.
Horse welfare
The horses are the heart of every safari, and their well-being is our top priority. We only work with safari operators who share our view on horse welfare and treat their animals with respect, care, and knowledge. Our destinations are handpicked, and we decline partnerships that do not meet our standards of horse welfare.
Our destinations
Born into a harness racing family, I was hanging around the stables before I could even walk. Handball, tennis, dance, gymnastics… none of them could ever really compete with the horses. I started riding school at the age of five and got my first pony when I was ten. Horses became my life, and we spent our weekends traveling from one dressage competition to another. Many years later, when I first set foot in Africa – on a so-called horse working holiday in Zimbabwe – they said, half-jokingly, that some people get bitten by the bug right away…
As a volunteer working with safari horses, I've experienced more horseback safaris in a year than most people get to do in a lifetime. It is without question, the most powerful experience I’ve ever had. I’m driven by a wish to connect fellow riders and horse lovers with that same feeling. I know how important it is to feel prepared, and to feel safe traveling to faraway places – and that’s exactly what I want to pass on to you.
I can’t wait to hear your stories – about those wild elephant encounters, the endless gallops into the sunset, and of course… your plans for the next trip to Africa.
