Horse Riding in Mpumalanga

Ride Into the Wild Beauty of Mpumalanga

Mpumalanga’s natural beauty is best experienced slowly — and there’s no better pace than on horseback. Horse riding in this adventure-rich province takes you off the tar and into a world of rolling grasslands, indigenous forests, and misty mountain trails.

Whether you're a complete beginner or a confident rider, Mpumalanga offers a wide range of equestrian experiences. Saddle up for scenic outrides near Sabie, Hazyview, or Dullstroom — areas known for their tranquil landscapes and wildlife sightings. Many of these trails wind through private farms, forestry plantations, and game reserves where you might spot zebra, antelope, or even giraffe from the saddle.

Horseback adventures here range from short, guided rides for families or first-timers, to multi-day horse trails for those wanting a deeper connection with nature. Some operators also offer overnight stays at rustic lodges or tented camps along the route, turning your ride into a full-on wilderness experience.

What makes horse riding in Mpumalanga unique is its blend of panoramic views, accessible terrain, and the chance to explore less-traveled corners of the province — all without the hum of an engine. It’s immersive, meditative, and still wildly adventurous.

From golden Highveld meadows to forested Lowveld paths, this is a soulful way to discover one of South Africa’s most beautiful regions.
