The diverse landscapes create the perfect conditions for horse riding, with terrains varying from mountains, bush and wooded areas to desert plains and dunes. Namibia is still wonderfully wild and remote, with few paved roads and great sections of land inaccessible to vehicle travel. This means there are endless opportunities for fast paced and challenging riding. Namibians are a resilient nation of peoples who are fiercely proud of their country. Life here can be very tough, with horses regularly carrying out domestic and farm work on rough terrain, and, as a result, they respect their animals.
Namibia boasts a variety of breeds from Arabs, Hanoverian and Trakehner to Lippizaner, Haflinger, ranch horses and all types of cross-breeds so you will really be spoilt for choice. On average they are middle-sized, swift and surefooted offering reassurance to the rider but never shying from challenging riding.
