Channel your inner Clint Eastwood in 'A Fist Full of Dollars' (or Woody from 'Toy Story' for the less mature reader) and become a real-life cowboy on a horse riding safari.
Galloping across stunning landscapes and getting in amongst the big game aboard a trusty steed is, needless to say, simply spectacular. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced equestrian looking to take it to the next level, riding safaris are a great way to get active on holiday. From cruising alongside a tower of giraffe in Africa to roaming the rolling hills of Romania, you'll have the experience of a lifetime. If you're an old-hat at the safari game then horse riding safaris are a fantastic way to gain a new perspective on something you have already experienced.
