We offer an array of horseback riding experiences designed to immerse you in Zanzibar’s natural beauty and scenery. Our beach rides allow you to trot along pristine shorelines with the waves lapping at your horse’s hooves, while our swimming with horses experience provides a unique opportunity to wade into the Indian Ocean alongside these majestic animals. Our sunset rides offer a serene journey as the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in brilliant hues. For those who prefer inland exploration, our forest rides take you through lush landscapes, where you can enjoy the tranquility of Zanzibar’s verdant surroundings. These unforgettable experiences are available at two luxurious locations: Sea Cliff Resort & Spa, perched on cliffs with sweeping ocean views, and Neptune Pwani Beach Resort & Spa, located on the northeast coast with direct access to one of Zanzibar’s most beautiful beaches.

Our safaris are hosted at two breathtaking locations in Zanzibar, each offering a unique blend of luxury and natural beauty. Sea Cliff Resort & Spa, located in Mangapwani on the west coast just 30 minutes from Stone Town, is perched atop dramatic cliffs, offering panoramic views of the Indian Ocean. This resort, perched on a scenic golf course, provides a stunning backdrop for coastal rides, verdant adventures, and serene experiences. Our stable on the northeast coast, located at Neptune Pwani Beach Resort & Spa is nestled in the Kiwengwa area, with direct access to one of Zanzibar’s most beautiful and tranquil beaches. Riders can enjoy the pristine shoreline and calming ambiance of the Indian Ocean at Neptune, or the panoramic cliffside views on the verdant golf course at Sea Cliff, both offering a perfect blend of adventure, nature, luxury, and the thrill of horseback riding.
