History is made!! The first full length mobile tented riding safaris are conducted in a National Park – Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe !!

After completing a series of shorter rides (and learning curves) throughout the year November saw us finally graduating to a full length 7 night safari.

The horses went extremely well and coped with the heat. Their fitness level enabled them to easily handle the distances and heat – although swimming in the pans was much enjoyed on most days.

We have had some excellent wildlife sightings on these rides including riding onto lion in thick bush – (the lion’s slunk away), a host of plains game, including one young Zebra female who probably became separated from her family unit (taken from evidence of fresh lion spoor in the area) upon seeing us, you could almost see a quizzical look on her face saying you sort of look like me  but something is wrong - after some snorting and her circling us and half heartily approaching us, she must have got a sniff of human scent and galloped off into the distance in search of her real family, and  we were privileged to have the most amazing times in close proximity to cow herd after cow herd coming down to a recently replenished waterhole.
