The Ranch to Reserve Ride
About the ride
Explore the heart of the uMgeni Valley on our horse safari, where each day entails 3 to 4 hours of riding. Experience the thrill of riding alongside a diverse array of wildlife, including giraffe, kudu, nyala, warthog, jackal, rock pythons, crocodiles, and ostriches (with no large predators).
The uMgeni Valley captivates with its towering gorges and dramatic orange cliffs that overlook the ancient river, creating a landscape that's both dynamic and fascinating. Our journey begins on a neighboring cattle farm, meandering through kilometers of bush and streams, passing through sugarcane fields until we reach the reserve gate. Once inside, we ride alongside the river, ascend through a majestic gorge, and finally arrive at our cozy cottages for the night.
The next day offers a similarly captivating route back to the farm, ensuring each ride is filled with unique sights and experiences.
A Review
What an experience. From the welcome and meeting our beautiful rides to the incredible adventure of being in and amongst the most extraordinary wildlife and scenery on the reserve, this weekend was an epic adventure from beginning to end. Tess - thank you for all the attention to detail right down to delicious home made treats in our saddlebags and the most delicious meals, to handpicking the exact right horse for each of us to enjoy this memorable time with. Will never forget this weekend!!! Can’t stop looking over all the photos and videos.
