You will find yourself hard pressed to find a region that offers better horse trails and horse riding experiences that that of the Drakensberg. The Drakensberg Mountains presents splendid opportunities for both the experienced and the beginner to ride this magnificent countryside on horseback.

Whats more horse riding in the Drakensberg is a great way to spend the day, and the full length of the Berg is negotiable on horseback.

If you are a novice rider, your mountain holiday is the ideal time to acquire some horse riding skills, as there are numerous spectacular bridle paths that can be comfortably managed by the inexperienced horse rider. If you are confident in the saddle, this is an opportunity to explore the foothills and experience the true magic of the mountains.

Almost all the resorts in the Drakensberg offer guided horse trails, and several include overnight adventure rides for groups of five or more.

Great horse riding experiences need not be restricted to the mountains. There are grassland and bushveld rides that are simply too good to miss.

Horse trails through a game reserve brings you closer to game than you can possibly achieve on foot. Imagine that incredible feeling as you move amongst a large herd of giraffe or wander with a white rhino across open savannah. Or simply view a large herd of impala against a backdrop of shimmering water and mountain at Spioenkop Dam.
