Okavango Horse Safaris - Botswana

Founded by PJ and Barney Bestelink in 1986, this was the first riding Safaris Company in Southern Africa. The focus is a journey through the diverse landscape of the Okavango Delta and understanding of the ecosystem in this truly incomparable area. In offering a riding safari with OHS you are guaranteed a pristine wilderness with unique landscapes.

The concept of riding this area is very special, as horses wade through the shallow waters, swim through rivers, placing guests in areas unspoilt by human footprint. On horseback the experience of approaching wildlife and exploring the Delta places the rider at one with nature. The interaction between wildlife and horses is a natural relationship and every encounter is unique. Cantering through the floodwaters alongside the elephant motion of a giraffe is an experience that will never be forgotten.

Our specialised team of horses are classed within the industry as the best safari horses in the world, care is taken to match horse and rider, with top quality tack, excellent standard of guiding, personal attention and high standards of accommodation. We use 3 camps, Kujwana, luxury en-suite tents raised on teak deckings under fabulous natural canopy, Mokolwane, 2 metre high treehouses along the edge of the Matsibe River and Qwaapo Camp overlooking a beautiful hippo lagoon.

The remote camps are accessed by helicopter, based in private concession areas of over 2500 sq. kilometres. Apart of the main attraction of exploring on horses, guests will also experience the delta from mokoro, on foot and game drives with night drives. We take a maximum of 8 guests on 5, 7 or 10 night safari options and non-riders can be accommodated. This company is committed to responsible tourism, staff development and the protection of the Okavango Delta.
