Based at Macatoo Camp African Horseback Safaris is situated on the western side of the Okavango Delta. Covering 17,000 km sq, the Okavango is the largest inland delta in the world: a mix of labyrinth channels, palm fringed islands and fertile floodplains. 

Trapped in the parched sands of the Kalahari desert, the Delta is a magnet for the wildlife who depend on its life giving waters. More than 400 species of resident and migrant birds, lions, elephant, hyenas, wild dog, buffalo, hippo and crocodiles congregate with a variety of antelope and smaller animals - warthog, mongoose, genets, monkeys and bushbabies to name a few.

The main attraction of an African Horseback safaris is the joy of riding good horses over superb country, with just about every landscape dotted with game.

The riding is varied, sometimes quietly walking, stalking big game and admiring the bird life, sometimes cantering through the water-meadows alongside galloping giraffe and lechwe. 

There are over 40 horses at the camp with 8 recent arrivals from Namibia including a spirited Palomino and a statuesque Friesian Cross.
