In Africa there is something for everyone

Its not a scary place believe me. Of course you need to avoid some parts of some cities but hey what about London, Sheffield or Bristol? Out in the countryside its a different matter. Life goes on very much as it always had done

So I'm in the far north of South Africa in the Limpopo region not too far from the border with Botswana

The Waterburg mountains are remote and beautiful but still only about four hrs from Jo'burg. Here you can ride a choice of about 60 horses and have great time. They take absolute beginners up to very experienced and you won't get eaten as there are no lion to do that to you and spoil your fun

You can stay here and swim in the glorious pool or with the horses in the lake . The food is very good and the english owners are lovely and nothing is too much problem. That's why so many people return to this haven

The horses are fast mind you if you want it and the game is there to be seen. Today I saw two beautiful bull Kudu with huge twisted horns. Google them to see what they look like. Imagine them passing within 20ft of you and your horse

Its an all year round destination which is great to know as we all can't plan ahead nor can be u restricted in our getaways
