These adventurous expedition rides were originally created by Waldi Fritzche. In 2010, the company was taken over by Sarah Jane Gullick (formerly of Equus Trails in South Africa and African Horseback Safaris in the Okavango Delta, Botswana). Waldi will continue to guide a number of the trails and with her adventurous spirit coupled with Sarah Jane's fresh new ideas, we will see this great ride going from strength to strength. Between the two they have pioneered, guided and managed some of Africa's most impressive rides.

Explore unique and spectacular desert landscapes on super fit and responsive horses. These are true adventures not for the faint-hearted.

This is one of the most challenging rides in the world. Nowhere else can you ride for so fast or for so long and yet, with some preparation, it is within the capabilities of most riders. Throughout the rides you are normally accompanied by Waldi Fritzche, an excellent horsewoman and adventurer whose riding and organisational skills will continually impress you.

There are some 100 horses at the farm of various types: Arab, Hanoverian, Trakehner/Cross, Boerperd and ranch horses. There are also a few of the very special "wild horses" of Namibia which were sold to local farmers when drought threatened them with extinction. The horses are strong and fit as they live on the rough terrain in the bush. You are responsible for grooming and tacking up your horse throughout the expedition and will continually marvel at their willingness and sure-footedness.

These are challenging rides for experienced riders. The wide open terrain is perfect for the long fast trots and canters for which Waldi is so famous.

This famous ride is an eleven night 400km adventure which takes you through some of the most remote and spectacular parts of Namibia. The expedition starts inland at the farm base near to Windhoek and from here passes through gentle undulating hills and mountain escarpments out onto the rocky desert and finally to the sandy beaches of the Atlantic coast.
The trail finishes in Swakopmund on the coast. The Naukluft conservation area supports large herds of mountain zebra
and in the Namib you may come across
the prehistoric looking Welwitschia plant
which spreads its tentacles across the
desert floor.

Luggage is transported by truck and
a simple camp is set up each evening. Tents are provided, although a highlight for many people is the opportunity to sleep out under the spectacular stars of the African sky.
