Saddle Safaris swaps the vehicle for the saddle. Each guest is matched with a horse that suits their temperament and experience, then rides across thousands of private acres in South Africa’s Waterberg with guides who know the terrain, the herds, and the rhythm of the bush. Mornings belong to the trail, from sunrise rides to long days in the saddle. Afternoons bring game drives, chef prepared lunches, a garden braai, and golden hour sundowners. Between rides, a private farmhouse offers deep sofas, wide verandas, and a starlit hot tub. Choose a weekend introduction, a five night journey, or a seven night expedition. The Waterberg is a malaria free region.
