As a family of four, we only had a night to get away and wanted to test our camping skills out. We hadn't planned to do a ride, though Jordan, our friendly host assured us as novice riders that the Sunset Ride came highly recommended. She wasn't wrong. It truly was a magical experience! The sweet, sure footed horses and excellent guides made the whole adventure feel exciting and challenging yet our comfort and safety was accounted for. The panoramic views of the valleys and Underberg Mountains completed the experience. Watching the sunset atop a horse in a vast open space does wonders for the soul.

My husband, myself and our two children enjoyed the most wonderful 2hr outride with Ushaka. The horses were well looked after and the guides were experienced. We saw beautiful sights, dismounting at the top of a hill to take in the beauty of the mountains around us. We saw amazing birds of prey and even an owl protecting her nest. We so enjoyed the experience, I went back a week later with my sister, enjoying another exciting outride. I highly recommend Ushaka Horse Trails and the capable couple that run it.
