Mozambique may be incredibly poor and underdeveloped, but as a riding destination, it’s something truly special—and far too often overlooked. It’s also one of the safest countries in Africa. Despite its poverty, the abundance of fresh local food means hunger is rare, and with tourism still in its infancy, there’s a refreshing lack of commercialism. What makes Mozambique unforgettable is a combination of joyful, welcoming people, a rich and vibrant culture, and the most breathtakingly unspoiled coastline. Think secluded islands, empty beaches for galloping and swimming your horses, huge sand dunes, and fresh seafood cooked to perfection. 

"Add in heartfelt hospitality from your hosts Mandy and Pat (more on them under our ride details but worth visiting just to meet this incredible couple, you’ll leave as friends), and you’ve got a riding holiday like no other. It’s one of those magical, beautiful, totally offbeat places that you feel privileged to have discovered—riding there recently was just such a special experience." – Zara
