Horse Riding

A novel way to explore the Drakensberg is on horseback. Canter over rolling grasslands and bushveld, pass through banks of proud aloes and wild flowers, traverse the cool shadows of rocky crags, pause to survey the mountain vistas. The numerous spectacular bridle paths can be comfortably managed by novice horse riders. For an alternative experience a game ride will bring one into close proximity with giraffe, white rhino and herds of impala that graze against a mountain backdrop. Or step into the past via a battlefield ride. As one fords the Tugela River at Skietsdrift, as did Andries Pretorius and his Voortrekkers before the Battle of Blood River, the whisper of Zulu warriors will echo in one’s ears.
