Tanzania from the Saddle

Exploring, rather than following a map


For us, a horse safari is not about following a fixed route from one camp to the next.

We love getting out there and exploring. We look for new areas, follow the seasons, discover different landscapes and, whenever possible, take the less-travelled route. Some of our favourite days are the ones where there is no perfectly planned road ahead of us—just the horses, the wilderness and the feeling of wondering what is around the next corner.

That spirit of exploration is at the heart of every horse safari we run in Tanzania, from riding among elephants below Kilimanjaro to following the Great Migration across the Serengeti.

    The Horses

    Our horses are at the very heart of Tanzania Horse Safaris, and we are incredibly proud of the diverse and characterful herd we have built over the years.

    Under Private Canvas

    Our mobile camp is a homemade, tailor-made safari camp, designed and built from scratch by our own team. Everything has been thought through around the way we like to travel: comfortable enough to feel like home, but light enough that we can keep moving with the horses.

    Our Safaris

    We run fast-paced, adventurous horse safaris for those who want to feel the wind, the freedom and the thrill of being out in the wild.

    The Community

    Tanzania Horse Safaris is just as much about people.

    We are incredibly proud of our core crew—the people who work alongside us, ride with us, look after the horses and make every safari possible. They are a huge part of why we do this. Over the years, they have become far more than a team; they are part of the family.

“This isn’t a safari where you watch Africa go by. You are in it.”
