Why we Love Macatoo Camp

African Horseback Safaris is based at Macatoo Camp which is situated on a Palm fringed island in a private 500,000 acre concession on the western side of the Okavango Delta. This is one of the best horseback safaris on offer in Africa.

The experience of riding good quality, well mannered Thoroughbreds, Namibian Hanoverians and Kalahari-Arab crossbreeds in the Okavango Delta is awesome with the abundance of wildlife and birdlife in the area; riders will spend 4 to 6 hours a day in the saddle, need to feel confident about keeping up and capable of riding at all paces so this is not for beginners! On the longer safaris guests have the opportunity to experience the thrill of riding out to a mobile fly-camp. Whilst riding safaris are the focus, there are also game drives, bird walks, night drives, seasonal boating, canoeing and fishing.

Probably the best City hotel weve stayed at. Alal Gogo was particularly outstanding. He managed to arrange for us to attend the Woody Allan Band show with our guest (who is a musician) even when it had been booked out and was very courteous throughout. Thank you so muclh. A wonderful stay.
