We are privileged to be the sole operator in approximately 520,000 km² of prime Zambian wilderness.

Intermediate to Experienced Riders - We offer a 3 night safari or longer for intermediate riders and above.

Novice to Intermediate Riders - We will accommodate riders of all abilities if a group books out the camp on an exclusive-use basis.

For our riding safari, you need to be fit, confident & competent.

What is significant about our horse safaris is the story behind the place, the land, the people, its cultural history and relevance to sustainable community and wildlife development.

The first of it's kind in Zambia, our equestrian safari in the beautiful Simalaha Conservancy is an experience like no other! Hosted by renown horseman, Doug Evans - and with riding access to the whole Conservancy, from vast open plains to mopane and acacia woodlands, there is plenty varied terrain and wildlife to make rides interesting and fun.
