We are very excited to announce our partnership with Heartfelt Horsemanship.

Scenic Horse trails in the Drakensberg...

the natural way

Safety, comfort and enjoyment, for both horse and rider, are our priorities, chat to us if you are not sure which is the best trail for you.

Our horses are well trained, relaxed and not your typical "nose-to-tail" trail horses and our experienced guide, Gareth will offer instruction throughout your horse ride. Our trails are all scenic and cover a variety of terrain, so whilst safe, they are also entertaining.

We pride ourselves at doing things differently, and that is why you will not find the standard large group outrides at Qambathi. We only offer private outrides for singles riders or couples. This allows the rider to truly experience the magic of natural horsemanship. Before you ride out into the mountains, Gareth will offer ground work with you and your horse. This will enhance your horsemanship skills, allowing you to feel safe and comfortable on the ride.
