5.00Very good experience with great horses, excellent guide and lots of animals up close. The reserve has many savannah herbivores (no predators) and ostriches that are not spooked and used to people so we got up very close to them, nit a truly wild experience but it was fun nevertheless. Great for kids and good change of pace from the truck game drives
Fantastic experience seeing giraffe and zebra from horseback!

5.00We LOVED our horse ride with kalahari breeze. I am an experience rider, but my husband has never sat on a horse! We chose the 2 hour ride. The stable and private game reserve are only 45 minutes from Maun. We were collected from our hotel. After a quick hello we were saddled up and off into the bush. As there are no predators in this conservation, we felt perfectly safe. It was wondrous to be on horseback observing antelope, wildebeest, ostrich, giraffe and zebras! The intimacy one feels on horseback cannot be matched. No vehicle- just you and nature. We were able to ride up close to the animals who were unperturbed by the horses- and the horses by them. The horses are lovingly cared for and this operation has 56 horses- their main business is longer multi day horse safaris. But if you only have a day in Maun, like us you can experience the beauty and wonder. Plus, my husband loved it and he felt perfectly safe and secure on his spotted Appaloosa horse.
