Namibia on horseback
An exclusive journey: a few times a year we set off with a small, hand-picked group: days in the saddle on Ibenstein, then onward to Namibia’s most beautiful places, everything arranged, from the first evening to the last.
One journey, everything taken care of
Our Riding Safaris are complete package journeys. You arrive, and from then on we look after everything: the horses, the routes, the meals, the transfers and the moments in between.
The journey begins on Ibenstein, where you ride every day through savanna, riverbeds and mountain valleys, among giraffe and antelope. Then we travel on together to places that belong on every Namibia list: the red dunes of Sossusvlei, the Atlantic coast at Swakopmund, with full board throughout.
And there are always a few surprises along the way: a table laid in the middle of the bush, lanterns lit as the sun goes down, a sundowner where nobody else goes.

Natural Horsemanship & Liberty
with Sándor Miko and Dora Auerbach
This was a one-off special edition: an example of what a Horse Riding Safari with us can look like. It was about more than exploring Namibia on horseback: it was a journey into the way we communicate with horses.
Horseman Sándor Miko and yoga teacher Dora Auerbach joined us for a Natural Horsemanship & Liberty journey. Liberty sessions in the round pen, learning to connect with the horse from the ground and without pressure, yoga with Dora, and in between, rides through the bush among the giraffes and evenings together under the stars.
Every Riding Safari is different: the next one will have its own route and its own highlights. Join the waitlist below to hear about it first.
