Namibia riding safari summary
Possibly one of the most spectacular deserts on the planet, the Namib blends iconic ochre dunes with vast grassy plains that is home to a surprisingly varied wildlife for a seemingly inhospitable ‘wasteland’, and is full of wonderful surprises. On our riding safaris you will cross inaccessible and extremely rugged terrain – it is a true wilderness of hauntingly beautiful vistas and stunning ancient land shapes.
The ‘classic’ ride is the most challenging of our rides… riding into the isolated hills, crossing canyons with steep descents that require some walking/scrambling and fast paced riding through the arid plains: an exhilarating ride of a lifetime.
The ‘Fish River Canyon’ is the largest natural gorge in Africa and a most impressive geological feature displaying the Earth’s history laid out like the pages of a book. Despite its seeming aridity, this is one of the most diverse biomes on earth – a delight for nature lovers. Expansive plains invite endless canters in a landscape characterised by meandering gorges and dramatically eroded escarpments.
Namibia is a dry country and the prevalence of game is dependent on rains. Free-ranging desert adapted game occur on all rides and encounters with Elephants, Rhino, Giraffe and other large game can occur, particularly on the ‘Damara Elephant ride’
Where most of the riding safaris in Namibia are for the intermediate to advanced rider, and can be quite challenging, the ‘Wolwedans luxury ride’, is more sedate, with less time in the saddle each day, so that the less confident riders can still appreciate and experience camping and exploring the dramatic vistas of the Namib.
