Horseback Africa

One of the major attractions in the area is Horseback Africa, a private wildlife reserve that offers activities like horseback safaris and walking with newborn lions. It is located not far from Pretoria. The most unique experience in this place is the lion tours. The goal is to raise awareness about animal protection while letting you get up close and personal with juvenile lions who are up to a year old.

Start by feeding the young lion cubs in the garden while learning interesting tidbits about their species. Then stroll across the reserve with the young lions. The walks are fantastic for visitors, but they are also crucial for the lions, who must practice their hunting techniques. Yet, the lions frequently ask to be stopped and petted.

Horseback Africa also offers horseback riding safaris that let you to go on trail rides and get up up and personal with other animals including zebra, wildebeest, kudu, and giraffe in addition to the big cats. Due to the presence of at least two guides in each group, these are appropriate for both novice and expert riders. Horseback Africa offers a package that includes a morning horseback riding safari, lunch, and an afternoon lion tour, however you can choose to stay the night here. However, many people come on a day excursion.
