Nile Horseback Safaris - A unique horse riding experience along the banks of the River Nile in Jinja Uganda

Nile Horseback Safaris in Jinja Uganda (Horse riding by the River Nile)

A horseback safari provides the ideal way to explore the Nile up close, see a traditional Ugandan village and view the fantastic panarama from the hills overlooking the Nile River valley. The landscape is spectacular, you will be blown away by the beauty of the area around the Source of the River Nile.

We offer both short (2hr and 3hr) safaris and longer overnight and multiday horse safaris. For our shorter horse safaris no riding experience is neccessary. We have also recently introduced a 1 hour, walking only, safari. This safari is suitable for people with children under 6 years old, the extremely nervous rider or people who are time limited. It is a wonderful stroll through the villages and along the Nile enjoying the scenery of the area without overtaxing anyone.

Our horse safaris are accompanied by two or more guides. Riding groups have the opportunity to temporarily separate at certain points on the safari allowing more experienced riders to ride at a more advanced pace and those not so confident to stay within their comfort zone.
