The meadows of Botswana, in Kalahari, together with the salt pans of Makgadikgadi are places where the horses like to gallop with spirit and get lost among the dunes. Searching for the famous meerkats and trying to spot zebras, wildebeest, hares, hyenas, ostriches, ancient trees and native villages that we find on our way, all together, make it an unforgettable experience.

The journey is divided in two: first, the Okavango delta, where we will be at the mercy of whimsical tides and weather changes; afterwards, the meadows and dunes of Kalahari invite us to submerge in Africa in a different way.
The Okavango Delta is the Eden for a rider: as water from floods extends to the sands of Kalahari, the flocks and the lives of birds spread out, the saddle of our horses being the best place to see all these.
The land where the most important pharaohs are buried, and the rays of sun batter the desert is the perfect place to be explored on Arabic horses. This is not just cultural and historic enrichment over the most important temples and chambers in the world, but also a matter of ancient connection. Relaxing in the Red Sea and outrageous gallops along the desert.
The real Egypt does not end with the magnificent pyramids of Giza, known for being one of the seven wonders of the world. It is the indoor lives of local families, the homemade food, the combination of millenary ruins and sites, that tourists don’t get to know. At the shore of the Nile, and focusing on Luxor, galloping our horses, Egypt and the inclemency of its desserts reveal to us in a full and intimate manner.
The pharaonic tombs and the Egyptian temples, full of ancient history, combined with a good dose of horse ride in the desert and the Red Sea. Galloping in Egypt has only two colours: the yellow of the desert, where the rays of light from the sun bounce, and the blue of the sky. We also assist to the sun ritual, which is carried out twice a year and is one of the greatest phenomena of humanity.
The mysteries of Egypt, from tombs, to pyramids, pharaohs and to the everyday life of locals become clear to those that dare wander around deserts and sail the Nile with the eyes and the intrepidness of a true traveller.
Wild Coast, at the border of Africa, is a landscape known for its beaches, rivers, valleys and rocks, for the vicissitudes of the weather and the tide, and also por the kindness of its inhabitants. Those who ride along their lands feel the exact balance between the adventure and pleasure -and the hidden certainty that the latter is the reward of the former.
The South African coast in the Indic Ocean is an ideal place to ride next to the sea, on the sand that reflects and multiplies the rays of the sun, with the wind blowing on our faces, amid rocky strenuous land. This experience is a unique combination between relaxation, journey and confront, staying at the Kei Mouth.
The Delta has its own life, an area as fickle as a Greek God. The water rises and falls at its own whim, the weather can vary so much that it is difficult to set an itinerary: everything depends. Afterwards, the meadows of Kalahari provide a great opportunity to look for wildlife, especially the famous meerkat.
The distance between the different campsites allow us to go through meadows, rivers and forests to find elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippopotamus, crocodiles and, maybe, lions and leopards. Comfort and adventure combine themselves in perfect harmony.
During the day we gallop at high speeds, we avert logs, jump streams, all while we observe and become closely observed by unnerving rhinos, leopards, elephants and, maybe, lions. At night, from our tents, we can hear the roar of lions and hyenas that are nearby.
