African Horseback Safari Camp
Riders can now experience the ultimate African horse riding adventure safari. This horse safari rides out daily from Macatoo camp in the heart of the Okavango Delta, Botswana. It is recommended that guests stay 7 nights or longer- safaris normally starting and ending on set days. This enables you to explore the Okavango in depth by staying out at one of our mobile flycamps - weather conditions permitting.
Experience a true sense of freedom by riding through the vast wilderness of the Delta on horseback.

Horseback: Riders will spend 4 to 6 hours a day in the saddle, so riders should be comfortable on a horse and need to feel competent about keeping up with the group. Riders must be capable of riding at all paces; rising to the trot and controlling a horse at the canter. You may also be required to gallop out of trouble so this is not a safari for beginners.
Limitations: for competent riders only
minimum stay of 3 or 4 nights depending on departure days
weight limit of 95kg for riders
There are a variety of horses from Arab crossbreeds to large Hanovarian Thoroughbreds and comfortable English and Western trail saddles. Camp facilities include a large furnished mess tent and a small pool tucked away in the trees. There is a daily laundry service except at fly-camp..

The camp features large twin-bedded tents en suite. Each tent is secluded with a spacious verandah and armchairs overlooking the flood plain dotted with palm trees. On the longer safaris guests have the opportunity to experience the thrill of riding out to a mobile fly camp with traditional bucket shower and toilet (seasonal variations).
