Experience Summary

An afternoon horseback safari in Amakhala is the closest you’ll feel to riding inside a living wildlife documentary. Horses allow you to move silently through the reserve, blending with the landscape and letting giraffe, antelope, and zebra graze undisturbed nearby. Without engines, the bush comes alive with bird calls and hoofbeats.

We think RV is the best way because it lets you combine Amakhala with Addo or coastal riding. But you could also stay in a lodge in the reserve.
