Bhangazi Horse Safaris – Beach Horse Riding in iSimangaliso Wetland Park

Experience the magic of the iSimangaliso Wetland Park — South Africa’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site — from the saddle with Bhangazi Horse Safaris. Whether you’re a first-time rider or a seasoned equestrian, our guided horse rides offer an unforgettable way to explore this incredible coastal wilderness.

Each ride is led by an experienced guide and accompanied by a back-up rider, ensuring both safety and flexibility for groups of mixed ability. Riders can choose between a beach ride, a game ride, or a combination of both, each offering a unique glimpse into the park’s beauty and biodiversity.

Our beach rides follow long stretches of untouched shoreline where the warm Indian Ocean meets golden sands. It’s not uncommon to spot pods of hippos and crocodiles basking near the estuary, while seasonal sightings of humpback whales and nesting turtles add an extra layer of wonder to the experience.

For a change of scenery, our game rides take you inland through the reserve’s lush coastal forests and grasslands, where you’ll ride quietly among herds of zebra, wildebeest, impala, and warthog. It’s a rare opportunity to view wildlife up close, without the hum of an engine or the confines of a vehicle — just the rhythm of your horse and the sounds of the wild.

Rides range from 1-hour game rides to 2.5-hour combo adventures, giving you the freedom to choose your pace and level of exploration.

Whether you crave the ocean breeze on your face or the thrill of riding among African wildlife, Bhangazi Horse Safaris delivers an adventure that’s as tranquil as it is unforgettable.
