African Horse Safaris

African Horse Safaris is widely regarded as Africa’s premier horseback safari specialist, offering evocative, immersive equestrian journeys across the continent’s most iconic landscapes. Founded by a collective of passionate equestrians and travelers with a deep-seated love for Africa, the company was born from a shared dream: to explore the wild in a way that honors the land and wildlife, without the intrusion of modern technology.

At the heart of the company is the ethos of “Wildlife Without the Engine”—a romantic and quietly powerful concept that invites guests to approach giraffes, elephants, and other majestic animals by the gentle rhythm of horse hooves, preserving the stillness of nature and elevating the safari experience to one of deep connection and respect.

From their base in Cape Town—First Floor, Constantia Checkers Emporium, they orchestrate flawless, end-to-end journeys. Whether you’re drawn to beach rides, desert treks, wildlife safaris, family adventures, epic expeditions, or even horseback volunteering opportunities, they curate every itinerary to the individual rider’s ability and interest, ensuring both novices and seasoned equestrians are catered to.

The team behind African Horse Safaris brings unrivaled expertise and passion to each adventure. CEO and Safari Specialist Isabel Juby, a lifelong rider originally from the UK, immersed herself in the African bush for years, developing deep first-hand knowledge of riding destinations across Southern and Eastern Africa. Working alongside her are dedicated Horse Safari Specialists, including Kirsty Evans and Daisy Ruprecht, each with rich, personal narratives of connection to the continent and its horses.

African Horse Safaris is committed to conservation and responsible tourism. Their trips are designed not only to introduce travelers to the beauty of Africa but also to foster an ethic of care and support for local communities and wildlife. Every ride helps reinforce the importance of preserving these vibrant, wild spaces.
