Wild Coast - South Africa

Wild Coast Adventure Trail

5 star rating   19 February 2022

Paddy who has been on 6 In The Saddle rides. A week of adventure into an unspoilt and stunning part of South Africa with fast paced riding. | The ride exceeded our expectations on many levels.
The scenery was stunning with long sandy beaches, rocky foreshores with grassy headlands set against a backdrop of the roar of the Ocean waves. It was all breathtaking and when you thought you couldn't better the view another spectacular scene appeared.
The sure footed nature of the well trained and responsive very fit horses ensured us an excellent riding holiday. They never seemed to tire despite the long hours with many beach long canters. Julie Anne, our host and ride organiser, runs a very slick operation. Our riding guide, Tertia, was excellent taking great care over our safety at all times and in particular on the many river crossings. However she also ensured that a fast pace was maintained with numerous fast long canters during each day. A huge thanks to Julie Anne and her team.

Do you have any comments about the accommodation and food?

Without doubt the best food of the trip was served by Julie Anne on the nights we were at Keimouth. As we were not there on a gourmet trip but for fast riding in the most amazing scenery the fact that we didn't eat gourmet food each night was not a concern.
