Riding trails into Moholoholo game reserve are included in the volunteer program. However, riding trails are also available to visitiors to the area at an additional expense.

The Whipalong Horse Trails are conducted in the beautiful Moholoholo Mountain View Game Reserve bordering the Blyde River Canyon (Third largest canyon in the world).

The reserve covers an area of 4200Ha and is home to a variety of mammals, birds and insects. Wildlife such as white rhino, giraffe, kudu, eland, wildebeest, zebra, hippo and many smaller species can be viewed from horseback. Raptors such as the Bateleur and the White-backed vulture are among the birds regularly sighted in Moholoholo.

We use well-schooled ponies for the trail. The horses are well-behaved and eager to please.

All the horses being used on the trail are comfortable with game species. Since Moholoholo does not contain the Big 5, riders are safe from the dangers of animals such as lion and elephant. This allows for a more care-free riding experience and guests can thoroughly enjoy the mountain scenery and bushveld environment.

Please take the following into account when considering Whipalong Horse Trails:

• All riders participating on the trail (from children to adults) must have had a minimum of 15 hours riding experience.
• Due to safety concerns, only children over 12 years-of-age will be allowed to participate on the trail. Please bear in mind that children participating in the trail must be competent riders with previous experience on trail rides..
• Riding hats are compulsory for children.
• We do not provide riding hats for adults however that can be arranged on request.
