Wild Coast Horse
Trail
Horse trekking along
deserted beaches and across rolling countryside through rural
We explore the countryside, on some days;
we meander along the deserted beaches, cantering into sleepy coastal villages
for a great pub lunch.
On others, we explore the rolling hills and
savanna grasslands that are the home to a kaleidoscope of gaily painted
rondavels that form the heart of the
Long stretches of deserted beach beg for a
gallop along their pristine sands.
If you and your horse need to cool off, you
can go for a swim in the sea or lagoon.
Once you reach the

Day 1
We advise riders to try and
plan to arrive in
Day 2
After a light breakfast we are
ready to go to the horses at about
Day 3
This morning we ride to the
nearby local community development project and discover some Xhosa traditions
and customs. We then meander through the
tribal villages and ride onto the Nongqawases Pools
and waterfalls, and hear about legends of the Xhosa people. After lunch, we ride to the wreck of the
Jacaranda. Depending on the tide the
riding is energetic and exciting as we canter the beaches and rolling country
side. Accommodation tonight at Trennery’s Hotel.
Day 4
Heading north, we pass the Jacaranda
and hopefully we have timed the ride and the tide to cross at the river mouth,
otherwise we turn inland across country and through rural villages to cross the
Day 5
The low tide dictates our
riding path today. We either circle
inland towards the remote settlement of Cebe,
exploring huge sand dune forests before heading back towards Wavecrest along
the endless beaches. Or we do the ride the other way around – this gives us the
best beach riding at low tide and a safe river crossing. This afternoon, a refreshing jaunt on the sandy cattle
paths, to Whale bone beach, up over the hills and looping round through the
forest brings us back to the hotel as the sun goes down. Or for those in need of
rejuvenation, the spa awaits you or you may just like some beach time
and take in the natural splendor that surrounds you. Accommodation
tonight at Wavecrest Hotel.
Day 6
Today we start our journey back
home. We cross the Kobonqaba
river inland meandering through the villages and
cantering across a criss-cross web of cattle paths
and forgotten tracks. We ride back past Trennery’s and call in a Seagulls Beach
Hotel for a great pub lunch. We then
head home towards Kei Mouth and the pontoon crossing before dropping the horses
off at the paddocks around

riders on the 6 night package say good bye after an early morning ride across the
