" Up to an early breakfast - our unshod Boerperd horses are waiting to go... This is bliss! The rides are fascinating - learning how to creep up on one of the Big Five; the horses soothe the animals and mask the smell of humans. On horseback, riding alongside rhino and zebra, you become part of a 3D wildlife experience, breathing in the raw essence of nature itself instead of viewing it from the safe confines of a Land Rover. I will always think back in the long winter months of friends, both mammal and human, at Equus - hospitality, kindness and a special feeling of safety. Thank you all so much for a very very special, happy time."

Ginny Elliot, former world champion three day eventer and Olympic gold medallist.

"The ride had it all - guides out the top drawer, company, horses, a black rhino charge, thunderstorms, buffalo, and the food. The drinks were always cold and the jokes came fast and furious. The memories will enlighten many a dull day in the city".

Friedrun and Jurgen Stuhlinger, South Africa

"Your warmth, intelligence and generosity of spirit have made this an incredible week that will never be forgotten. It has been filled with beauty, laughter and wonder. Thank you so much".

Mike Lombardo, United States of America

"The most peaceful, fun, educational experience ever! We learned so much! The laughs around the camp fire were excellent and the horses were marvellous. This was the best holiday ever, we will take these memories with us for the rest of our days. Thank you for your inspiration".

Bruce and Christi Anderson, United States of America

"It's all I expected and hoped for - vast empty wilderness, wonderful sunsets, trustworthy horses and animals that I've only ever seen on television or in photographs."

Jenny Thomas, United Kingdom

"Holiday of a life time. I think I have died and gone to heaven!!! Lots of thanks!"

Louise Bates, United Kingdom

"We spent a week in paradise with very nice people, just feeling the nature. This first African Safari experience on horseback became unforgettable. This experience of riding through a lovely landscape with the sunrise, and meeting all kinds of game. We are fully satisfied, and thank all the people who make this possible! And of course, we thank the horses for doing their heavy job."

Renee Begeer & Cees Bakker, Holland

"What a fantastic introduction to Africa! Never before have we experienced such wonderful animals and scenery! From rhinos to giraffes, we saw it all! It was definitely a once-in-a-life time experience. We must say, there was nothing like showers and a toilet in a tent! Everything was excellent! Thanks for the incredible experience! Come and visit us in Canada!"

The Pinnock Family, Canada

"This was our first trip to South Africa and we are so pleased that we chose Equus. Thank you to you all for a wonderful, memorable time. Our best holiday yet! We have not only seen so much, but have learnt so much too - especially about rhino poo!

Darren & Emma Butler, England

"Words are poor instruments to express how much we enjoyed the seven days spent here. The smiles that light our faces at the end of a ride, and the tears in our own eyes upon leaving here, will serve as a substitute to a written testimony!"

Steve Frederickson, United States Of America

"We would like to really thank you, Wendy, and all the staff for making our honeymoon the most wonderful experience, and for giving us the opportunity to be your friends! Please call us whenever you go to Mexico".

Frederico and Maribel Fernandez, Mexico

"Thanks for a wonderful getaway from it all for the weekend. Your horses are all quite special - all individuals in their own right. I was very impressed by the genuine passion all the staff have for their jobs. Food and accommodation is also excellent. One of my best experiences in South Africa yet."

Jean, United Kingdom

"The worst part about coming to Equus is having to leave. I can't wait until the next visit. This is my second trip to Equus, and I have enjoyed it even better than the first (I never knew that was possible!)"

Sue Gray, United Kingdom

"Don't know where to start - have had the best riding holiday ever! I am continually impressed by the depth of knowledge of everyone involved in Equus - spoor will never be the same again! Many thanks to all - I hope to be back for a May-time wilderness trail!"

Judy Armstrong (Gallop!), United Kingdom
