Rolling hills deep gorges and clifftops that plunge into the ocean

- Melanie Howley

Horse riding along the beaches of the Wild Coast of South Africa offers some of the most stunning and varied riding terrain found anywhere in the world. Our wide variety of horses are suitable for all levels of riding. For advanced riders, endurance-fit horses make the pace fast and exciting. Rolling hills, deep gorges and clifftops that plunge into the ocean ensure that this is not just a beach ride, it’s an adventure on the edge of Africa!

Riding the Wild Coast

As you meander through sleepy tribal villages, the greetings from the local Xhosa people are warm and friendly. Their villages seem all but forgotten in this rural African wilderness. On your riding holiday, you and your horse will become part of the Wild Coast as you ride undulating hills and endless beaches. Comfortable hotels await you, nestled in coves along the coast, providing perfect stop-offs for both rider and horse.
