About
We are a Horseback Safari Company operating in the iSimangaliso Wetland Park in Zululand, South Africa. This is an incredible corner of Africa, so fantastic it is a classified UNESCO World Heritage Area. The Park covers a mosaic of land forms that have created a vast array of biomes to support a very wide variety of animals, plants and birds. We have the highest bird count in all of Africa, the southern-most breeding spots for turtles in Africa, Africa's tallest forested dunes, the largest remaining stands of sand forest, the biggest peat beds in the Southern Hemisphere and vast wetlands.... and all of this runs alongside 220 kilometers of pristine beaches and the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, where turtles nest, whales often pass on their way to breed just a little further north in Mozambique and dolphins play in the surf.
Duration: 2-3 hours
Meets animal welfare guidelines

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My wife and I had an amazing time doing the 2.5 hours hike in the bush and on the beach. The guides were attentive, the horses responded well to orders, the scenery was beautiful and the wildlife was present.
Lovers of horses and nature, I recommend this activity without hesitation.

Our second visit to St Lucia, and second time riding with Bhangazi Horse Safaris - bush ride.
The guides (Sam was my guide) are patient and very knowledgeable. Horses are lovely and safe/sturdy. You can choose your pace.
We came across zebra, warthog, impala, duiker and baboons. Loads of birdlife.
Beautiful surrounds.
I will also try the beach ride in the future (it is tide dependent).
Highly, highly recommend Bhangazi Horse Safaris.
Admin staff were also super-helpful.

A truly amazing experience, suitable for even our "ouma" of 78, with too many parts to pin point as a favorite. The scenery is definitely at the top of the list together with our two amazing guides Mohanka and Deoné as well as the fantastic horses we were privileged to ride. I would highly recommend Bhangazi Horse Safaris with Mohanka and Deoné as guides for any future travelers, you will not be disappointed. One of the activities I will never forget. A big thank you to our guides for making it an unforgettable experience.

I last visited Bhangazi Horse Safari 2 years ago when our guide Lucas gave us a fantastic combo hack and I vowed to come back.
With a friend visiting from the UK it was time to return and this time Sthembiso led our little group.
I rode the sparky Lesotho and as 2 of the group were rather inexperienced Sthembiso quickly split the ride so the 3 experienced riders got a lovely canter down the beach and a few more canters in the wetlands.
As a guide he was knowledgable about the area, a nice rider and considerate and friendly to the group.
Once again I found the horses well cared for m, feet nicely trimmed and fit for the work expected.
Well done team at Bhangazi I shall be back next Month with another friend

Very happy with the friendliness of the staff, and the horses were beautiful. We went on the beach ride which personally felt a bit boring at times, I think we would choose a bush ride next time just for a bit more of a scenic route. We also would have loved to be a part of the group that got to trot and canter, but the guide autmatically put us in the "slow group". I recognize they were taking precautions, but it would have been great for them to ask us if we wanted to join the faster group.

I have spent a wonderful day doing the combo beach and game reserve horse rides guided by Sithembiso. He was amazing, explaining everything attending to everyone. The horses were very nice and we can tell that they are well taken care of. I would recommend Bhangazi horses and Sithembiso to anyone! Go and check-it out yourself!!

My first time experience with Bhangazi Horse Safaris was just so amazing. My children enjoyed the horses as they were set at ease by the amazing staff and especially with our guide Mohanka.the scenery was just so spectacular so relaxing. Can't wait for my next trip.

We had a morning beach ride with Bhangazi Horse Safaris arranged for us by Ndiza Lodge. We were a group of about 8 riders with two guides. The horses were in very good condition and we were very well looked after. The saddles and helmets provided were also immaculate. As our group was of mixed riding ability, we split up at some point so everyone was happy. A great outing!!

Amazing moment with my family! Our guides were amazing. They offered us to divide the group at some point so that some of us could go faster. I was with my two girls âge 6 and 9 who have been riding for three years. They were very carefull and attentive with them but still allowing them to go fast. An amazing moment surounded by zebras. Thank you for the wonderfull moment!

The bush ride through a varied landscape with lots of birds and wildlife was a highlight of our trip to St. Lucia. The horses were well trained and gear in top shape. I appreciated that the group was broken up into beginning and experienced riders so that we could have a bit of a gallop through the bush. I learned a lot about the plant life from our guide. Great experience!

Hello Bhangazu Horse Safari,
We just arrived in St. Lucia and stay until the day after tomorrow.
I am an experienced rider and would love to go on a horseback Safari ride.
Do you think, it would be possible tomorrow and in the case of yes, at what time?
Best regards
Beate
Written 4 April 2019
Dear Beate,
yes, we still have space for tomorrow on a two hour game ride starting at 13:30 or we could do a beach ride starting at 9:30. Also we could make it a combo ride and then start at 9:00 from our stables. The price is R430 for a one hour ride and R860 for two hours and 1075 for the combo ride. Because its last minute if you'd like to book please phone/whatsapp our number 0837927899 as we don't often check these messages.
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Freya

Come si prenota il giro a cavallo? lo si può fare anche on line? I gruppi che vanno al passo e quelli che vogliono galoppare vengono divisi? Ci piacerebbe fare un giretto un po' ... vivace !
Written 29 July 2016
È possibile prenotare via e-mail
Il gruppo è affiancato da due guide in modo da poter separare il gruppo. Si prega di e-mail per ulteriori informazioni.
Grazie!
