Horses all beautifully schooled and their care was obviously of utmost importance to all the staff.

I was on a non-rider accompanied by an experienced rider. The rider very much enjoyed the horses and riding at Kambaku.

The horses are well trained and carefully matched to the rider.

I was very pleased with my horse, Omandudu, who I rode almost every riding session - he was very responsive and friendly and had a lovely smooth gait. Chris did not get on with the first horse he was allocated (Pockel) but the staff soon chose another horse (Oshaly) who was perfect. Chris was able to ride him for the rest of the stay. The terrain was flat and not very varied as the landscape was the same over the whole reserve and, because of the time of year, everything looked brown and dry. Many of the trees looked dead or had been affected by last year's fire.
However while riding we saw many animals - zebra, giraffes, many different antelope, warthogs and a good number of interesting birds.
The pace of rides was nice and varied with some very long fast canters on winding, sandy tracks - it was especially exhilarating galloping alongside a herd of zebra!
Because it was so hot in the middle of the day (40 degrees plus) the staff were very flexible and arranged the morning ride at 6.30 and the afternoon ride at 5.30pm, at our request.

Riding excellent but not very varied. Covered the same ground sometimes as a maximum of two and a half hours’s return trip. A good pace for me (not too fast) with some long canters. I rode two great horses - one for the trail riding and one for lessons - both really suited me.

We did lots more long canters than I had expected which was great and my face ached from smiling so much!! Great horses 🙂

N/A...I didn't ride...please see wife's comments!!

Nice horses, friendly guides and really enjoyed the riding. There was opportunity to wander and take some great photos/observe the wildlife, as well as have some nice long canters on sandy tracks. Grouped on ability so as an experienced rider I rode out both with other guests (max I experienced was 4 of us), as well as it just being the guide and myself.

Well-cared for animals, nice stables, good equipment.

(ITS NOTE: We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Kambaku).
