Edition 44: Autumn 2008

The first ever horse safaris in Zambia’s Kafue National Park will start in March 2009. After being given a stunning concession bordering the park, Kafue Horse Safaris have sorted out the final regulatory details and are now accepting bookings.

“There are no fences in this region, so all the game wanders through our concession freely and we have already had the most wonderful sights while there on reconnaissance,” says Lucy Rufus of South Africa Horseback Safaris, the operator running the new endeavour. “We’ve had a herd of around a thousand buffalo walk through our area on most days. It really is an awesome sight, and we are so excited at the prospects of being able to ride there in the soft sand and open plains.”
