The care and dedication that goes into our string of over 50 horses is a credit to the Okavango Horse Safaris team.

 

The horses are chosen with temperament and suitability at the forefront. Many of the horses are selected from well-known breeders in Botswana and South Africa with others coming from Zimbabwe.

 

Our team are made up of a huge variety of breeds, shapes and sizes to suit all of our guests. We have Arabians and Arabian crosses, Boerperds Thoroughbreds and Thoroughbred crosses as well as Friesan crosses. There are also a number of lovely homebreds on the team.

​ 

Our horses are looked after extremely well. From yearly dental checks to regular hoof trims, vaccination and worming schedules we ensure the basics are well covered. Beyond that we treat each horse as an individual; ensuring they get the right feed, rest and training they require to excel at their jobs and live a happy life. Our guests will rotate through a couple of horses during their stay to get a nice balance of trying a number of horses whilst having time to bond with their rides.

 

When not on safari the horses graze the grassy molapos of the delta through the day and come in to their stables as a herd for the night, truly one of the best sights to see in the delta!
