THABA MANZI HORSE TRAILS
Horseback Riding / Horse Trails
in Maanhaarrand, Eastern Region,
North West, South Africa
With 2000 acres and some 35km of internal game and ranch trails to explore
there can be no better adventure than riding with us at Thaba Manzi Ranch.
BRING YOUR OWN HORSE'S Visit with us for a weekend or a week and your
mounts will be accommodated in our spacious guest paddocks and treated to
complimentary ad-lib eragrostis that is grown right here on the ranch. R70 per
horse per night/day.
ONE HOUR TRAIL Check in at the stable yard office where riders are paired
with their mounts. Aimed at those with little or no experience we ride to the
foot of the mountains where we visit the Boer War gravesite. Riding on, we pass
the second largest waterhole on the ranch and we then make our way back to the
homestead across the plains past hartebeest, blesbuck and ostriches. R150 per
person.
ONE AND A HALF HOUR TRAIL After taking the same route as the one hour
trail we continue higher into the mountains stopping along the way at
spectacular viewing points. We pass through bushveld trails where we may be
fortunate to encounter the giraffe, nyala or impala before returning to the
homestead via the plains, taking time to say howdy to our Nguni cattle. R200 per
person.
TWO HOUR TRAIL This trail is for experienced riders only and allows us to
truly explore the bushveld, the plains and high into the mountain slopes. There
are opportunities for exhilarating canters and leisurely trots as well as
steeper ascents and descents.
Depending on the mood of the group, this trail also stops off at more viewpoints
and lingers longer when coming upon game. R250 per person.
HORSE CART AND CARRIAGE TRAILS For a truly unique experience why not hop
aboard one of our carriage or hay rides through the ranch and game park drawn by
Tom and Harry our matching Percherons. R70 per person.
