Luxury horse riding holidays - the best seat in the house!
If you are a keen a equestrian, a hobbyist horse lover or an adventurous thrill seeker, talk to us about our luxury horse riding holidays. Adventuring on horseback is a real passion of ours and a number of us are keen riders so we have plenty of knowledge and first-hand experience. In Africa you might find yourself cantering through the pristine waters of Botswana’s Okavango Delta or riding amongst the migration with thousands of wildebeest that annually traverse Kenya’s Maasai Mara. In South America our luxury horse riding holidays might see you galloping with gauchos across the wide pampas or playing a game of polo at a luxurious private estancia. Meanwhile in India, you might wind your way through the desert to deliver livestock and medical supplies to remote communities in need. A horse-riding adventure is a wonderful way to experience a country’s spectacular wildlife and landscapes, warm hospitality and culture at a grass roots level and our luxury horse riding holidays ensure you do it in style!

It certainly was the best trip we have EVER had. The experiences were mind blowing. We want everyone we know to experience Africa - the animals, the people - magical.
Jo-anne & Dean MifsudWould do it all again and not change a moment. Best holiday ever!
The McGowan TribeAn absolutely fantastic travel company - every one of the many trips they have organised for us over 22 years have been faultless and fabulous.
Judith & Roger WilliamsI've been on lots of luxury horse riding holidays but The Classic Safari Company knocked it out the park with their professionalism and experience.
Jenny, SydneyThank you for putting together the ancestral adventure of a lifetime. I cannot speak highly enough of the trip. The transfers went smoothly, the accommodation was excellent, the drivers were amazing as they manoeuvred through the traffic and every tour guide had a great deal of knowledge and information. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The contrast of poverty and riches of the country was striking, from the beggars in the street and struggles of the poor to the spectacular, impressive sights of the forts and monuments. There were so many highlights. A moment in time that will never happen again.
Jenny KiddExellent and wonderful, reaching way above expectations.
Elizabeth MackintoshWe wanted the opportunity to see as many wildlife parks as possible and the Classic Safari Company provided an action-packed itinerary that included six, with 11 tiger sightings and nine leopard. This was overlaid with an introduction to Jaisalmer, Jaipur and the 'real' India. Pench and Panna were the hidden gems of a really great trip, very well organised, seamless and enjoyable. As a solo traveller I felt incredibly safe at all times. I want to go back!
Mark TaylorJulia you did a fantastic job - everything was first class. Well organised, efficient and stress free. We all agreed it was the best holiday we've ever had. Cant wait to travel with CSC again.
