Conditions:

You have to be in good health and very fit as well as be an experienced rider and used to handling horses. In the past the Damara Trail horse riding safari was only open to riders that have done certain other horse riding trails in Namibia, but that is now changed.
Although it is open, each safari guest will be screened as to competency to go on this trail. The reason being is that you will be covering inhospitable country and safety is the most important factor and cannot be compromised for you or the rest of the safari group.
There is a bodyweight limit and anyone that is heavier than 85 kilograms will be subject to a surcharge of 30%. This is in accordance with the Rules of the World Horse Welfare League and we must supply and extra horse for each rider heavier than 85 kg.

All terrains from riverbeds, gravel plains and rocky hills. The average distance covered per day is between 20 – 40 kilometres as the temperatures and difficulty of the trail impacts on the distance travelled. The horse riding safari group will be accompanied at all times by 2 ? 3 riding guides.
