Oudtshoorn: Save on a Klein Karoo lunch trail experience, including lunch for one or two people with Kango Horse Trails

Horses were once considered man’s best friend, but have fallen off the rankings after numerous disagreements regarding water consumption and the invention of the dog. Take a journey with a nay-sayer when you save on a Klein Karoo lunch trail experience, including lunch for one or two people with Kango Horse Trails.

Riders of all experience levels can saddle up on a well-mannered steed for a leisurely trail ride through the natural beauty of the Klein Karoo’s wide open spaces. Great for young and old, horse-handlers will prance along for 1.5 to two hours, winding past scenic flora and fauna, including beautiful veld flowers, meerkat burrows, hares and small antelope on the unspoilt trail. The unequalled Karoo sunsets bring tears to riders’ and horses’ eyes and provide a fitting end to a day’s galloping.

After the excursion, groupies can enjoy a set-menu lunch at Surval Boutique Olive Estate, enjoying both fantastic fare and a civilised debate on the practicality of feeding a horse apple pie. The lunch includes a choice between fresh cannelloni, chunky fish cakes or Thai chicken as a main and homemade vanilla ice-cream and warm chocolate sauce and caramel nuts for dessert. Experience good food, brought back to basics with a selection of fine wines drawing the equestrian adventure to a culinary close.
