Our Story

About Phezulu

Where horses, adventure and Eastern Cape hospitality come together.

More than a destination

Come as a guest. Leave with a story.

Phezulu Adventures was created around a simple idea: the best way to experience South Africa is to get out into it.

Our trips combine the freedom of horseback riding with working ranch life, mountain country, forests, coastline and the everyday character of the Eastern Cape.

We keep groups small so the experience remains personal, flexible and connected to the places you are riding through.

Included in your Phezulu experience

Safari & Wildlife

The adventure is not only about horses. Your stay also includes a dedicated safari experience by game-drive vehicle, giving you a chance to step away from the saddle and experience South Africa’s wildlife from a different perspective.

A different side of the journey

Set out on safari in an open game vehicle and spend time watching wildlife in its natural surroundings. Recent safari photographs include elephants, lions, zebra, giraffe, hippos and buffalo, as well as the landscapes and moments between sightings.

It is a wonderful contrast to the horseback days: no saddles, no riding — simply time to slow down, look, listen and enjoy the wildlife experience that forms part of your Phezulu adventure.
