You will be met at Victoria Falls and brought to the lodge. After settling in and lunch your guide will meet you at 3:15pm for your afternoon ride. A safety talk and pre trip briefing will see you on your way for the start of your adventure here. This afternoon will be your first introduction to this area and a chance to see if you are happy with your horse, your saddle and so on.
The ride will end at the stables at sunset. A short drive through the reserve will take you back to the lodge.
I had a great time with our hosts in Portugal in September. The horses were in beautiful condition and so solid in a range of challenging conditions. Our host and his team went the extra mile to make us feel at home and they handled the details so everything went smoothly and our safety was protected. Our guide and ground crew rode or drove the trails the night before so they were sure the path was passable, they coordinated with a team stop traffic when we had large roads with fast traffic to cross and they were mindful of our comfort throughout. Professional from start to end. I will remember the great warmth from our host and guides, as well as the Lusitanos, and the beauty and generosity of Portugal and her country people that few tourists are likely to experience. We found it everywhere. Thank you to the entire Equitours team for a horse vacation I’ll never forget. And now that I’ve done a point-to-point ride like this I wonder if there is really any other way to see another country and know its people! Can’t wait for the next trip.
