Fantastic in every way: from great horses, camp, food, staff to breathtaking landscapes!
5/5

I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Namibia Horse Safari Company. As an Australian working in the same industry, I was very impressed with the quality of every aspect of the trip.

Spurts of pure exhilaration interwoven with the rhythmic traversing of Namibia’s seas of tranquility
5/5

First - my general thoughts. Second - more specific to the questions proposed.

The Namibia Horse Safari Experience? It should be an easy exercise, to gather words to describe my story. I attempt to take time to collate, but all I have are feelings and emotions. Because that’s what it is. Pure, raw, emotion. Instead of words, I visualise. The sand, the landscapes, the endless tracks, the swish of tails in motion, the hooves: capable capable hooves. The stars, a slo-mo firework display that never disappoints. The campfire, the warmth, a gathering of diverse souls, connected by an innate calling. Shared passions, adventure; the call to be part of something wild - yet calm. This is the magical essence created by Namibia & the Horse Safari team combined.
Spurts of pure exhilaration interwoven with the steady rhythmic traversing of Namibia’s seas of tranquility - crystal desert seas. Part of something, a group but also a very personal team. An allegiance, a partnership: with my horse. My courageous, kind-eyed, resilient, capable, giving - so giving, loveable horse. Lavida (May ‘19), Kavanje (Oct ‘19) - forever in my heart.
Special thanks as always to our kind and charismatic leader Andrew, our outstanding support team of Telane, Phoebe, Rayne, Nelson, Colin & Johann, and our background friend & assistant Helen. You create for me, opportunities of a lifetime & I am forever grateful.

This was my second ride with the Namibia Horse Safari Company. The first ride (May 2019) blew my mind with regards to expectations. The second ride (Skeleton Coast) confirmed what an exceptionally outstanding outfit this company is. Customer welfare is on par with that of the horses, which are cared for at the highest level. The beautiful nature and giving temperament of these horses is testament to this. The 100% Egyptian cotton filled cot beds under the desert stars are a dream to sleep on, and chef Rayne deserves a cluster of Michelin Stars for her outstanding field-kitchen culinary prowess. Our support team work wonders to create the most comfortable and enjoyable environments: campsites in ‘nowhere’ become ‘somewhere’ - a true home for the night. Andrew our leader creates a sense of security, togetherness, fun and freedom as we traverse Namibia’s vast landscapes. Communications have been first class throughout; Helen is there to offer a guiding light on all things Namibia and safari, and otherwise! These two safaris have been two of my most enjoyable experiences to date - I hope to expand on this.

Superlative in every sense ... horses, staff, food, logistics, everything is superlative!
5/5

I'll be talking about crossing the Namib Desert with Hagar (the horse), a band of merry travelers, and an incredible compliment of staff and horses until the day I die. They're that good. If you enjoy long days of riding (with exceptionally well-cared-for horses), sleeping under the stars, and indescribably beautiful scenery, go ahead and book with Namibia Horse Safari Company.

Namib Desert Ride
5/5

It's so many memorable moments to list from the safari days we’ve been on horseback in the desert: Our faces still hurt from dust and wind … and wearing the biggest grin after cantering another racky race. Our souls feel grateful for the experience - to have met such wonderful people, to ride such wonderful horses and have some epic experiences with Namibian wildlife. Thanks to everyone for making this an incredible trip.

Namib Desert Ride
5/5

The most important thing, to me, on a riding trek is how well the horses are taken care of, and this company is second to none! Before I even arrived Helen had given me all the information I needed and helped me plan other activities outside the horse safari. Once I was there, I was able to experience the magic of the desert on horses that would do all you asked and more. From the wacky races, the guides, the guests, the food (God I miss the food) to sleeping under the stars, this felt like the first time I was exactly where I was supposed to be. I feel like I've left behind a part of my soul and I long for the day I'll be able to return.

If you are an experienced rider, I couldn't recommend this trip more.

OMG!
5/5

Describing how seriously good this ride is, in all respects, is just about impossible. From horses, tack, staff, food (oh the food!), drinks, pace, terrain, showers, and on and on, this ride is the best there is - period!
If you want a riding challenge and have only one ride left in you, this one has to be it. Andrew is the best!!!

Magical experience
5/5

I was lucky enough to be part of the Namib desert ride with Richard Dunwoody this May and the experience exceeded my expectations in every way. Never have horses been cared for so well or guests given such a wonderful experience. The terrain and the riding were highlights but then so were the team, food, care, fellow guests. We all had the trip of a lifetime.

An adventure on horseback to remember forever!
5/5

My ten days in the desert were everything I imagined and so much more! The horses are amazing – unbelievably energetic until the very last day, good-natured, absolute pros in all terrain and most importantly, extremely well taken care of by the team. The riding was simply exhilarating; the combination of the beautiful landscapes and the fast-paced riding is unbeatable. The staff were fantastic, and the entire organization was flawless. Three yummy hot meals a day, ice in your drink, hot showers, comfortable cots to sleep under the stars and great conversations around the campfire. If you make sure to take your preparation seriously and come very VERY fit, you will have the time of your life!

All was above our expectations. Food was incredible and a hot shower was provided every night. The horses were in good shape and very well taken care.
