A HORSE safari is a unique way to combine the pleasure of long distance riding with the thrill of an African safari. Equus Horse Safaris offers competent riders the adventure of viewing Africa's wildlife from horseback. The safaris operate on Lapalala Wilderness, a 36,000-hectare private game reserve three and a half hours north of Johannesburg. The scenery is magnificent and the reserve is home to black and white rhino, buffalo, leopards, cheetah, giraffes and antelopes. Each safari has a maximum of eight guests staying in luxury tents with en-suite bathroom and private veranda. You can see more of Equus on www.equus.co.za, or write for a brochure to Equus Horse Safaris, 36 12th Avenue, Parktown North, 2193 Johannesburg, South Africa.
