Posted on: 2 October 2024 Written by: Newmark Hotels & Reserves
Exploring the magnificent outdoors on horseback is what equine dreams are made of. Nkomazi Private Game Reserve by Newmark Hotels & Reserves is making this dream come true for horse lovers.
When you book in at this five-star reserve in the UNESCO-protected heritage site in Emanza, you will have the chance to experience a classic horse safari that you will remember for years.
Safari From A Different Perspective
Set in the scenic location of Mpumalanga with its teeming untamed wilderness, Nkomazi Private Game Reserve is known for its breathtaking game drives. Now, you can opt for an even more immersive experience with a horseback safari led by experienced guides when you stay at the reserve.
Being on horseback allows you to get really close to the wildlife since they don’t feel threatened by the horses. See impala, giraffe and even zebra closer than you could by car on an open-air safari with all the sounds, sights and smells of the local environment and animals at your fingertips.
How To Prepare For Your Horseback Safari
Enjoy relaxed, English-style riding on your classic horseback safari at Nkomazi Private Game Reserve, with each trip lasting 1.5-3 hours. You will be offered a mixture of saddles to choose from, as well as saddlebags for water.
Expect different breeds, including some Friesian crosses, Percheron crosses, Shire crosses, Saddlebreds, Appaloosas and Arab crosses. Horse sizes range from 14.3 to 17.1 hands, and weight restrictions do apply (80kg maximum, but we will take one rider under 100kg in a group).
Remember to wear appropriate clothing for horseback riding. We highly recommend booking in advance to avoid disappointment! Apart from that, prepare for an unforgettable experience on a safari like never before!
