Horse Riding
Explore the bush on horseback! Our 1,5-hour and 2-hour guided horse safaris take you through the reserve with chances to see giraffe, eland and other animals from the perspective of the saddle. Rides include drinks or drinks and snacks. This is a great experience for keen riders, beginners, and anyone in between. For very young children, 10 minute pony rides in the garden can be arranged.
Discover the magic of the African bush on horseback at Waterberg Cottages. We offer scenic rides on our private game reserve, where you're likely to encounter a wide variety of game. Because we cater for different abilities the whole family or group of friends can go out together for an African adventure on horseback.
Choose between a 1,5-hour ride (with drinks) or a 2-hour ride (with drinks and snacks included). We take care to match each horse to its rider, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all skill levels.
Come and ride with us and experience the bush from a unique perspective!
