Two day fully catered overnight horse backride safari
Duration:
2 day(s) - Location:
herbertsdale
The safari starts and ends at the small rural village of Herbertsdale on the Garden Route in the Western Cape of South Africa. This agricultural village is situated in the Langtouw River valley, a subsidiary of the much bigger Gouritz River and the safari takes you through local farmlands, Valley Bushveld and River Veld with possible sightings of many bird- and small game species as well as farm animals. The guided safari, cuisine and experience concentrate on the local culture, fauna and flora and origins, uses and history of most of these animals. You overnight about 800 m from the Gouritz River in a Pioneer's house built in the mid 1800s by the first owner of the land.
