AFRICAN EXPLORER SOUTH AFRICA, BOTSWANA The African Explorer, is the perfect entry level riding safari where riders experience the thrill of encountering game on horseback, first in the picturesque Waterberg Mountains in South Africa and then in the ancient wilderness landscape of Botswana’s Mashatu Game Reserve. During the first half of the safari, riders build their confidence while riding with hippo, giraffe, large herds of zebra and a range of other plains game. This is perfect preparation for later adrenalin fuelled rendezvous in Bostwana with elephant, lion, hyena and cheetah, together with many other species. All on well schooled, forward going and honest horses. Each night riders share in the old ways, sleeping under canvas in beautifully appointed camps, enjoying sumptuous meals by the flickering light of the campfire, while surrounded by the haunting sounds of the African night.
