Chubeka Trails – Horse Riding Adventures in Eswatini

For a truly unique way to experience the beauty of Eswatini (formerly Swaziland), Chubeka Trails horse riding safaris offer an unforgettable adventure. Based in Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary, these trails take you deep into the rolling hills, grasslands, and forests of one of Southern Africa’s most picturesque regions. Exploring on horseback allows you to get close to nature, slow down, and experience the wild in a way vehicles simply cannot offer.

Chubeka Trails caters for riders of all levels, from complete beginners to experienced equestrians. Guided by knowledgeable trail leaders, you’ll ride among wildlife such as zebra, wildebeest, and antelope, all of which are accustomed to horses and therefore allow for remarkable close-up encounters. The absence of dangerous predators in the sanctuary makes horse riding here both safe and relaxed, creating the perfect environment for families, couples, and solo adventurers.

Trail options range from short scenic rides to multi-day horseback safaris that explore deeper into Eswatini’s landscapes. Multi-day trips include rustic bush camps or overnights in traditional beehive huts, giving riders an authentic and immersive African experience. Imagine cantering across open plains with mountains as your backdrop, then spending the evening around a campfire under a star-filled sky—this is horse riding at its most magical.

Chubeka Trails also provides well-schooled horses that are carefully matched to riders, ensuring comfort and confidence throughout the journey. Whether you want a gentle trot along a riverbank or a thrilling gallop across the savanna, every ride is tailored to suit your ability and sense of adventure.

For those wanting to combine cultural discovery with outdoor excitement, horse riding with Chubeka Trails is a must-do activity when visiting Eswatini.
