Horse Riding Weekend By The Nile and In Mabira forest - Stayng At The Haven Riverside Lodge in Luxury Accommodation
Our overnight horse safari leaves from our premises and treks approximately 15km down river to The Haven Riverside Lodge. We pass through traditional Ugandan villages, areas of jungle and along the banks of the River Nile. There are a multitude of birds species in the area, you may also see monkeys, and the more elusive banded mongoose.
There is also the opportunity to take your horse swimming in the Nile at a beautiful sandy bottomed bay if you are so inclined. You and the horse(s) stay overnight at the Haven, your luggage will be waiting for you when you arrive.
Take an afternoon fishing trip, a sunset cruise or just relax with a book while overlooking one of the biggest rapids on the Nile.
After a big breakfast next morning we set off on the return journey. We trek an alternate route on the way back through Mabira forest, sugar and tea plantations and over some spectacular views on top of the mountains overlooking the Nile valley.
We ensure all your luggage is transported to and from the lodge by car leaving you unencumbered to enjoy your ride. We also provide secure overnight parking for your vehicle.
Please Note:
We do require experienced riders for this safari as the route encompasses swamps, creek/ water crossings and jungle riding. You need to be able to canter for extended periods and be competent riding in English style saddles. You will be in the saddle for roughly 8-10 hours (36 km) in total over your trip.
VERY IMPORTANT
We do not use Western saddles as often used in North and South America!
Please Note: Overnight safaris require a minimum of two people to run, and accommodation is subject to availability. We require a UGS 250,000 non-refundable deposit to confirm accommodation bookings. Please contact us if you a single rider as at times we have other single riders waiting on a second person so we can run an overnight safari.
Please call asap to book, as accommodation at The Haven needs to be confirmed early in the peak season.
