Barafu Luxe · Horseback safaris
Tanzania at the pace of a horse. Ride among giraffe and buffalo, sleep in a private mobile camp, and hear the bush the way a vehicle never lets you. Non-riders are welcome too.
The rides
Each ride is run by a specialist horse-safari outfitter we trust, on seasoned safari horses with expert riding guides. We plan the nights before and after, the flights and the rest of your journey.
