Greater St. Lucia Wetland Park

                       Horse Safari's

 

 

                          

 

We are a Horseback Safari Company operating in the Greater St Lucia Wetland Park in Zululand, South Africa. This is an incredible corner of Africa, in fact so fantastic it is a classified UNESCO World Heritage Area. The Park covers a mosaic of landforms that have created a vast array of biomes to support a very wide variety of animals, plants and birds. We have the highest bird count in all of Africa, the southern-most breeding spots for turtles in Africa, the worlds tallest forested dunes, the largest remaining stands of sand forest, the biggest peat beds in the Southern Hemisphere and vast wetlands.... and all of this runs alongside 220 kilometers of pristine beaches with the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, where turtles nest, whales often pass on their way to breed just a little further north in Mozambique and dolphins play in the surf

   

 

 

                                                                    

Horseback riding is a very natural way to watch game, being so quiet and peaceful that unless surprised, the game often hardly bothers to move far off as we pass. Game viewing is good all year and on safari we expect to see a wide variety of antelope, kudu, oribi, bushbuck, red and blue duikers, wildebeest, hippopotamus, zebra, crocodiles. We hope to see black and white rhinoceros, leopard, cheetah, elephant, giraffe, wild dogs and Cape buffalo. This area is world renown for birding and there are many internationally important nesting areas. We have wonderful horses, mostly Boerperds who are known for their kind natures, strength and reliability, which is a perfect combination for safari horses - plus some Thoroughbred, and Thoroughbred X's. Our horses are fit, well schooled and well kept.
