Wild Coast Horse Trails ~ Short overnight trails & weekends.
The most glorious horseback beach riding holiday in the World!

Meander from surf to savannah, exploring hidden coves and beaches, whilst experiencing the essence of rural Africa on horseback.

Horse Riding along deserted beaches and across rolling countryside.
You explore the countryside, on some days; you meander along the deserted beaches, cantering into sleepy coastal villages for a great pub lunch. On others, you explore the rolling hills and savanna grasslands that are the home to a kaleidoscope of gaily painted rondavels that form the heart of the Transkei landscape.
Long stretches of deserted beach beg for a gallop along their pristine sands. If you and your horse need to cool off, you can play in the sea or lagoon.
Once you reach the Great Kei River, a pontoon will transport you and your horse into rural Africa where sleepy tribal villages await you. As you ride through undulating hills, comfortable hotels are nestled in coves along the coast, providing perfect stop off points for the horse and rider.
You will experience for yourself a rainbow of people and a community working together through tourism. Our trail networks throughout our community ensuring that you encounter our wonderfully diverse South African culture.

The Wild Coast is the best kept secret in South Africa
The guides are expert and our staff will pamper you. The riding is plentiful and varied the beaches pristine and the food is delicious. The accommodation is comfortable seaside resort hotels. The horses are friendly, easy to ride and lively to command. You will ride a horse that you wish you could take home with you!
You will be enthralled by the unique combination of cross country riding and the exploration of our beautiful coastline
