Two Night Horse Safari TourDAY 1: You will be collected from your lodge or hotel in the morning (with your luggage). Tea, coffee, fresh fruit and biscuits will be served while Alison talks to each client individually to ensure everyone is allocated a horse most suitable to their needs. Alison has owned and ridden horses all her life, and with many years in the safari industry, is expert at allocating horses to riders.
After a brief orientation and safety talk you will move off with your guides. This will be your first introduction to this area and a chance to see if you are happy with your horse, your saddle and so on. You embark on your first long ride of your trip. Arriving at The Wallow in time for lunch, the afternoon may be spent on a game drive to the gorge – or depending how long you may ride for, a sunset ride.
Night spent at The Wallow. DAY 2: We will be up and on our horses as early as possible. Long ride exploring a unique part of Zambezi National Park with its dramatic scenery and varied terrain. Exactly where we go will depend on our inclination and game movement. Tracks and territorial markings will put us on the trail of different scenery – gorges and wide views, hidden spring lines and soaring eagles – an area like no other. You will learn how to identify and age feeding signs and other marks as you and your horse become part of the environment. We will also touch on aspects of our anti-poaching and conservation work. Anti-poaching and conservation are most effective when separate units work closely together. IMPI, our mounted anti-poaching unit works in close association with the Trust. Here you will learn of other aspects of their invaluable work. We'll be waiting with the horses at the Trust and your day will end a fabulous ride ending at sunset. Night spent at The Wallow. DAY 3: This will be your last morning ride with us – either brisk or relaxed – depending on our inclination. where we go and what we do will entirely depend on what we've

Other Horseback Safari OptionsPlease click on the links below to read more about the different trips that Alison offers, I know that she will also tailor make trips to suit your particular requirements; Morning or Afternoon Horse back Safari What you Need to KnowThis is a dangerous game area: weather and game movement patterns may affect our choice of riding areas. This applies even more so in the rainy season where some areas may become completely inaccessible. This is beyond our control and changes will always be with the Guests benefit and safety in mind. There will be no extra charge. During the rainy season (November to May) please bring a lightweight long raincoat covering legs and saddle (or short coat and overtrousers) suitable for riding in. A waterproof hat is a good idea to. We have stuff to lend but your own is always best. It may rain but it's never cold and the horses love the weather! our guides carry packs and saddle bags to put these in when it's not raining. Dress: Avoid black and navy blue - its very hot to wear, in addition tight synthetic fabrics are not the most comfortable in hot climate either! Bring a wide brimmed sunhat, and for the same reason lots of sunblock. If you are twitchy about insects bring repellent. Remember your anti malaria pills, but be very careful about taking larium...it can have unfortunate side effects and make you tire very easily at least.
