Our very high expectations on the trail in general was fulfilled in total.
As we described above this was truly an experience in our taste. We have really no complaints on anything. Besides the riding as such, scenery, staffs excellent competence we particularly want to emphasize Reynes marvelous cooking. The only factor I personally (Bo) could have some minor comment on is that, as in most instances with horses used for trails, they are somewhat insensitive to equestrian shows (riders use of legs, weight, and reins) thus developing bad habits that needs professional training to eliminate (insensitiveness to sidemoving and driving shank and weightshifting plus tendency to pulling of reins). This is however a common problem in general and not any particular problem for the Namibian Horse Safari Company as it goes for all trail-riding companies and time available for daily obedience training of horses.

Fantastic attention to detail, fast paced ride through the namid desert
There were 8 clients on this face paced ride through the namid desert. The horses were extremely fit and could canter or gallop for a few kilometres at a time. You need to be riding fit for this ride due to the length of time in the saddle or standing in the stirrups when going for long slow distance. The guides took great care both of the horses and the clients to ensure the saddles did not rub. The food was excellent, and the cook catered for food fussiness with good cheer. Gin and tonics, beer and wine flowed as soon as the day’s ride was over. Tents were available for sleeping in, but most of us chose to sleep in swags on top of a raised bed (off the ground to avoid scorpions), enabling us to enjoy the stars at night and fresh air. The scenery was beautiful and varied; from huge red sand dunes to flat calcrete to the steep sided kuiseb canyon. A fantastic holiday, which I would highly recommend. Thank you to the namibia horse safari company for an unforgettable experience!

I have realised one of my dreams crossing Namibia on a horse and in a truly adventurous way!!
It was the adventure I was hoping it would be!Felt alive and free! Sky, stars, sand,dunes sun, horses, scorpions, dust, sweat and speed all dressed with laughter's, great food, superb organisation and lots of grit....considering my group happened to start under a very very...very much needed torrential rain storm!!! I will always remember that sense of belonging I developed with the horses and the place, for a few intense days we formed a big temporary family where horses and their humans were moving and breathing all together in this 350km ride!! It was all amazing and very real ...one very special moment that touched me and that I will always take with me was climbing up the Kuiseb with Clinton, we really did it together and I will never forget this horse...I could sense he was truly taking care of me and waiting for me ...protecting me in this tricky climb, as difficult as it was, as much as I was trying my best to give him manouvering space!Another highlight the stormy sunsets with rainbows and blood red skies whilst sipping a Savannah and handling my camera ..and the unforgettable gallops on Xerox, who so far, is the lightest and easier mare I rode at speed!! She loves speed!!Finally ....the "dearly beloved" crew!! Always there with a smile and advice if needed from wake up time to sleeping time always moving perfectly in sync and being the glue that stuck us together humans and horses for the whole distance and under every circumstance being it a rainstorm of the hottest day..thank you all guys hope to come back again soon!!!

Yes you really do need your rain coat in the Dessert.
Loved the Trip, it was everything I hoped it would be, and even more, what an experience to have rain in the Dessert, and to see all the plants and animals that only show up after the rain. Magical.
That said, when the packing list says rain coat, and you say - but I am going to the dessert - remember it can rand does rain in the dessert.....
Loved the trip, I cannot say thank you enough to the staff for everything they did for us. It just flowed flawlessly - at least to those of us on the trip.
The horses were fantastic, the riding spectacular, what more can you ask for.
in the immortal words of "The Terminator" ... "I'll be back". You don't get rides like this just anywhere.

Amazing horseback riding experience in the middle of wonderful landscape from the south of Namibia
We have shared a wonderful week with a highly skilled and experienced team. The horses are well trained and adapted to their environment. The logistics, the service, the living conditions and the team support were highly appreciated. We recommend this trail to all riders seeking for unforgettable holidays in Namibia

"The greatest happiness on earth is sitting in a saddle of a horse"
I spent the second time on a ten day horse trail with the Namibia Horse Safari Company and once again - it was fantastic.
To experience such fascinating landscapes on a horseback is pure happiness, like the German expression
"the greatest happiness on earth is sitting in a saddle of a horse" ( Das größte Glück der Erde ist auf dem Rücken der Pferde).
It is just fun with the well-trained, balanced and well-kept horses to go on a super organized trail, where no wishes remain open.
To see the amazing sunset while sitting at a camp fire with nice people and sleeping on a field bed under the stars made this trip an unforgettable experience.
You will want to go there again. :-)

The Namibia Horse Safari Company team just does an excellent job.
I am a repeting guest rider with Namibia Horse Safari Company for many years now and they just do an excellent job. They are very experienced in organizing those safaris and they love and treat their horses respectively. The landscape is just stunning and so different from one place to the other.

An adventure across Damaraland
I can't recommend Namibia Horse Safari Company highly enough. The ride was a breathtaking adventure across the remote and largely uninhabited Damaraland region of Namibia. The ride was perfectly coordinated so the back up vehicles were always waiting for us at lunch and the end of the day. The horses are incredible and the scenery is spectacular. The food is fantastic and it is quite incredible what the staff were able to produce with the limited facilities available to them. A must do ride!
