Der Kap Ritt believes in and actively promotes responsible, eco-tourism and what better way to both explore and preserve the environment than to enjoy it from horseback. But we don’t stop there as we have developed all of our tours in the most eco-friendly way possible. We use accommodation such as the Buchu Bush camp, which operates on totally ecological concepts and we have even included a hand pulled river-car-ferry crossing. On the Wild Flower Trail the carbon emissions are kept to an absolute minimum as your only form of transport for 8 days is by horse! Book a Der Kap Ritt horse trail today and look forward to a holiday in step with nature. We offer riders three truly unique horse trails through the spectacular landscapes of South Africa. Horse lovers are given the opportunity to experience the Cape on horseback in all of its superb variety as well as big 5 game-drives! Look for Lion, Buffalo, Rhino, Leopard and Elephant from the comfort and safety of your safari vehicle. From horseback see buck (deer), zebra, wild horses, ostriches, baboons, tortoises, many exotic and brightly coloured birds and in season whales, flamingos and pelicans. Discover an eclectic spectrum of extremely varied, breathtaking landscapes every day - as only the Western Cape can offer. Experience the rare chance to ride through hidden landscapes that are mostly only accessible on horses and in some cases where we've obtained special permits from Nature Conservation for our rides! Explore Long white beaches and Lagoons along the Atlantic and the Indian Ocean, wetlands, wine orchards, rolling hills of huge wheat fields, vast semi-desert shrub lands of the Karoo, carpets of wild flowers (in season) and secluded stretches of mountains covered in fynbos (indigenous shrubs) and rugged, rocky outcrops. Plus, see the sights of Cape Town during a tour through the cosmopolitan ‘Mother city’ and its environs. On our trails you only ride professionally trained, reliable horses. This gives you the opportunity not only to enjoy the unique nature the Western Cape has to offer, but at the same time experience some truly pleasurable rides. Whether you prefer a gallop along the beach or a laid back ride through the wine growing hills, we will have the right horse for you. We provide well cared for tack, including comfortable English and Western saddles. Our accommodation has been chosen to suit up-market clientele. You will lodge in stylish guesthouses and classical old farmhouses, some of which are built on ecological concepts, such as the Buchu Bush Camp at the De Hoop nature-reserve. Tourism in step with nature is our aim. With us you will not only encounter the real South Africa and the country’s well-known hospitality but also enjoy the variety of our traditional, culinary culture as well as our outstanding wines. We are confident that you will return with unforgettable memories, experiences and impressions from our trail. |
