I have just returned from a really wonderful riding holiday, a horseback safari – organised by Outside the Corral with Zambian Horseback Safaris – in Zambia. I cannot recommend too highly this company. The horses were fabulous: fast and fit but well schooled and a delight to handle. Never crazy or alarming. Laure Anne has an acute eye for the details that make a holiday truly enjoyable and pays attention to them all, and to her guests. So everyone is happy. Really a joyous and life affirming adventure and I am already dreaming of the next ride that I can book with Outside the Corral.

We were looking to go on a horse riding holiday (3 experienced riders) and Outside the Corral helped us pick the Tuli Safari in Botswana – it was an amazing, unique experience! Great sightings, very knowledgeable guides, good horses that were very well looked after, incredible camps, and not to forget the great service and food. Outside the Corral gave us a detailed itinerary with packing tips and for whatever questions we had left, they would reply immediately. If you’re looking for an incredible travel experience, I would 100% recommend booking with Outside the Corral!
