Horse Projects

Your call to Africa Starts Here!

Calling all horse lovers, and we know there are plenty of you! Have you ever dreamed of spending your days surrounded by beautiful landscapes, breathing in the scent of the African bush and experiencing the majesty of horses up close and personal?

If yes, then our Safari Stables project is for you!

This unique opportunity not only allows you to work with these magnificent animals but also immerse yourself in the rich cultures and stunning scenery of Antelope Park Game Reserve in Zimbabwe. Your days will be filled with hands-on care, training, and the opportunity to explore the African bush on horseback. Engaging with both people and animals, this experience promises to leave you with unforgettable memories and a deep sense of fulfillment. No previous horse riding is necessary, we cater for all levels. We also offer an elite horseriding programme for show-jumping enthusiasts or aspiring veterinarians within the equestrian field. This programme takes place in the horse hub of Johannesburg and offers amazing opportunities to refine your horseriding prowess

What is a Horse Project?

A horse project is an immersive travel experience where you spend your days caring for and working with horses—while exploring a new destination. It combines hands-on learning, adventure, and meaningful contribution, all in one unforgettable trip.

What Does It Involve?

Days are varied but typically include:

• Feeding, grooming, and general horse care
• Riding and developing your skills
• Assisting with training or schooling horses
• Supporting rehabilitation where needed

Each project offers a slightly different experience, so it’s best to look at a typical week for each

It’s not just about horses- it’s about the setting and the experience. In Africa, you’re surrounded by incredible landscapes, wildlife, and culture, making every day completely unique. You’ll gain confidence, practical skills, and memories that stay with you long after you leave.
