Riding safaris are where it all began for us back in the millennium year with Offbeat Safaris in Kenya thanks to our founder’s close friendship with the legendary Tristan Voorspuy, which led and was subsequently chosen to write his biography, Life on the Edge. We remain passionate about travel to wild and exotic destinations around the world, especially those best explored from the back of a horse. Under this section of our website you will find a selection of the best riding holidays on the planet, ranging from comfortable lodge based excursions to logistically complex expeditions across wild and remote landscapes. Please note that we also offer rides to other countries and destinations not featured on this website so don’t hesitate to ask for further information if your preference is not listed here.
Each ride has been selected for its location, safety, style of management, quality of horses and competence of guides. We do not think you will find us wanting in any of these important areas. Every effort is made to match horse with rider, and you will be asked to provide an honest assessment of your ability when booking a riding holiday. Our partners in different parts of the world favour local breeds of horse, developed over generations to suit the climate and terrain.
Our expedition rides depart on pre-determined dates known as Set Departures; however we also arrange bespoke expedition rides for individuals, couples and small groups on request. Taylor made rides can run for as long or short a timeframe as you wish, and the activities and routine can be amended to suit the requirements of your private group.
Children can usually be accommodated on our rides provided they are competent riders (very often we find they are better than their parents!) and their participation does not adversely affect the rest of the group. Children can always be included on bespoke rides. Non-riders can usually be accommodated and we have arranged numerous holidays where non-riders and riders meet up after the riding has finished for the day having enjoyed different experiences.
