How to choose the right riding safari for you?

You may already know where you want to go or at least have a very firm idea about the country/area you wish to ride in, but if you’re not so sure which ride would be the best for you – or if you’re able to be spontaneous and pack your bags next weekend, CONTACT US and we will give you guidance and will forward the RIDERS QUESTIONNAIRE. It simply asks about your riding experience and type of riding you enjoy and from there we will select the most suitable destination for you. In addition, our RIDES menu bar categorises each destination by the type of ride/experience offered: eg: Family Fun, Riding with the Big 5 and so on. With regular flights worldwide it is often possible to get to your ride within 24 hours (or sometimes even less) from leaving home! Remember, it is possible to train up for your preferred ride and RWS will give you advice on that.
