Top Stellenbosch Horseback Riding

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.
