Experience the Cape Winelands in true country fashion!

Imagine the thrill of viewing some of the most spectacular scenery in the Cape while traveling through varied and beautiful terrain to get there.

Best of all... Imagine doing it on horseback.

Horse About is the perfect activity for those visiting the Tulbagh area or even for day trippers from Cape Town. Set against the most beautiful backdrop, you’ll find yourself wandering through the varying landscapes from fynbos to vineyards and through forests to the foothills of the gorgeous Witzenberg mountain range.

There is plenty to experience for anyone who has the taste for an equine adventure.
