The Surf and Turf riding adventure combines four days riding on the glorious Wild Coast of South Africa with four days game viewing from horseback at Dinaka with Horizon Horseback Adventures. Ride on some of South Africa’s most spectacular beaches on responsive, well-loved horses and also experience the magic of riding with game in a stunning wilderness area.
The Wild Coast is well off the regular tourist route and the lack of regular visitors makes it an extremely attractive riding destination. You ride along the spectacular coastline and also through rolling green hills where rural African village life goes on much as it has done for centuries. For four days you ride along the coast moving between comfortable coastal hotels, your bags being carried separately by vehicle.
On the fifth day, you fly north to the Limpopo Province and to the Dinaka game reserve situated at the base of the Waterberg escarpment. On this fertile plain you see large herds of plains game that would not normally occur in Southern Africa's bushveld areas. Species to be seen include rhino, buffalo, giraffe, ostrich, zebra, brown hyena, hippo and a wide variety of antelope, including the impressive eland, sable and steenbuck. You typically have an early morning ride for three to four hours and then a late afternoon ride to enable you to see the most game and to avoid riding in the heat of the day. The luxurious Dinaka lodge is set high on a ridge overlooking a hippo-filled lake, with spectacular views across the plains.
