Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary – horse trails

About this tour

Our hourly rides are concentrated on the southern plains, sometimes crossing the river and including a little forest riding.  The Rock of Execution and overnight trails explore the beautiful mountains, providing uplifting elevation.  We cater for beginners and experienced riders, with horses of various breeds and sizes.  We do have a rider’s weight restriction of 95Kg.

Our Guides are all trained in-house.  Most join us without horse or environmental knowledge.  Our training focuses on client care, quiet respectful horse handling, skillful trail riding and field knowledge.  As a result, our guides enjoy hosting, sharing their knowledge and learning from our guests.

Riders meet at our Activities Centre, where indemnities are signed, and helmets issued.  A safety briefing is conducted and guests are allocated their horses at the near-by horse holding paddocks.  Horse rides depart daily, and require at least an hour’s notice, or 24 hours or more for overnight trails, depending on the number of nights. Conservation of Mlilwane provides more information on the habitats and species you may encounter on trail.
