Horse Riding Safari on the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans

Start planning

Is the Horse Riding Safari on the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans for Me?

Camp Kalahari sits amongst the acacias and Mokolwane palms of Brown Hyaena Island, on the edge of the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans. Here, you’ll get to explore this wild, unspoilt area like many of the earliest explorers, hunters, and missionaries did – on horseback! Embark on adventurous outrides around the crusty flats, meeting the habituated meerkats and following the animal highways that bring life to this lunar-like landscape.

In between all your riding explorations, enjoy a walk with the San Bushmen and siestas around the swimming pool – a soothing escape from the desert sun. At the height of the zebra migration, the adjoining grasslands are awash with zebras, wildebeests, and more.

Expect incredible scenery, memorable wildlife encounters and, above all, super horse riding!
