Luxury Horseback Riding Adventures Eswatini (Swaziland)
Enjoy one of Africa’s Kast Kingdoms on Horseback
Imagine yourself transported to a bygone era as you ride a horse through the lush landscapes, majestic animals, and rich culture of one of the last remaining kingdoms in Africa.
From three to nine nights, depending on experience and skill, horse aficionados can explore the stunning country of Eswatini along one of many horse-riding trails. With quick canters and gradual descents, riders can enjoy long and gratifying hours in the saddle while taking in the spectacular views of the forests, mountains, and meadows.
It is immediately clear why the Swazi King battled so valiantly for independence of these virgin valleys, jungles, and mountains the moment you step foot in the Kingdom of Eswatini (formerly Swaziland). Mozambique borders Eswatini to the east, and South Africa to the north, south, and west, making it seem like an island without a coastline. The vibrant Swazi culture and extensive wilderness areas have made this little landlocked nation famous. An increasing number of horseback safari enthusiasts are flocking to this one-of-a-kind country for its varied landscapes and abundant wildlife.
Horse Safaris in Eswatini (Swaziland)
The rides can be adapted for intermediate and expert riders, with horses of all breeds and sizes, because they do not take place in areas with huge game. More expertise is required for longer trail rides due to the challenging terrain, which includes fording rivers while mounted and possibly dismounting to guide a horse along narrow trails.
Take a horseback ride through the pioneer conservation area of Eswatini, a picturesque and isolated haven in the “Valley of Heaven” region of Swaziland. Experience the wonders of Mlilwane and its plentiful wildlife on foot, by vehicle, on mountain bikes, or on horseback, all accompanied by knowledgeable Swazi guides. The area is a haven for native birds and fauna.
