Top Stellenbosch Horseback Riding

Explore the beautiful landscape of the Cape Winelands on horseback with this small-group guided ride from the Rhebokskloof Wine Estate in Paarl. Suitable for riders of all abilities, including beginners. Riders with similar experience are grouped together and will have their own guide to take them around a variety of trails, including tractor trails, open spaces, and mountain climbs.

Spend time outdoors and explore a vast 593-acre (240-hectare) wildlife sanctuary that’s home to a diverse range of animals such as antelopes, giraffes, wildebeest, and zebras. Instead of discovering the sanctuary on foot, save time and cover more ground by going on a guided horseback riding tour—a fun activity that’s suitable for all experience levels. Note that there is a strict 75kg weight limit for riders with no exceptions.

Combine horseback riding with wine, sunset, and moonlight on this small-group guided tour from Simondium. Ride at a gentle pace along the foothills of Simonsberg in Franschhoek wine valley, planned around the full moon. Stop for sundowners and snacks at a scenic overlook at Vrede en Lust Wine Estate and neighboring farms during this 2.5- to 3-hour experience.
