A riding club that finds its home in the scenic Tokai Forest at the foot of the majestic Table Mountain, there’s no better place to get reacquainted with nature and indulge in equestrian shenanigans. With trained instructors to metaphorically hold your hand and a stable of horses with temperaments gentle enough to make even the most nervous rider feel like an award-winning jockey, the two-hour horse-riding experience is perfect for anyone looking to experience Cape Town’s beauty from horse-back.

Your experience starts off with an introduction to riding, designed to get you comfortable with your noble steed – whether it’s Mick Dundee, Tabasco or Troy, Bristol the Namibian warm-blood or the witty Palomino Toffee – and get you comfortable in the saddle. Once you’re sure you know what the reigns are for and how to keep your feet in the stirrups, you and your companions can take a slow and scenic horse-back stroll during the one-hour outride. With a saddle-bag snack-pack to keep your internal furnace fuelled, the two-hour experience is bound to be one you won’t be forgetting soon.
