Namib Desert Ride
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
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!
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
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!
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!

Intense, exciting, adventure
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.

A remote and glorious challenge for the mind, body and soul.
Despite the ride being in such a remote location, I felt fantastically well cared for by the brilliant team. Andrew Gillies was the perfect guide; there was no doubt that we were in good hands. The ride itself- Woldwedans-Wild Horses - was challenging in its wildness and (for me) climate, but I was perfectly supported and ultimately rode my dream horse across lemon plains and sculpted red dunes. I adored falling asleep while jackals howled under starlit skies and watching the sunrise, sitting with a hot coffee by the fire. I long to return.
Wonderful views, great horses, beautiful stars. A great experience. Very well organised.
Crossing the equator the first time. The rider from Solitair to Swakopmund was a great experience. Wonderful horses, a group of nice people all well into riding. Perfect organisation, good crew and Andrew who looked after us all, checked and guided us though the dessert. Too bad it only lasted 8 days.

Experience of a lifetime
The trip surpassed expectations.
Amazing scenery, horses and staff.
Andrews knowledge and help couldn't have been better. Camp life was so well managed by the girls. But , the stars, are the horses!
I would recommend to any of my horsey friends without hesitation.
