I can make a general in five minutes. But a good horse, is hard to replace.

Tried and tested. The ultimate lodge-based riding. Where remote and luxury find perfect understanding. Can you guess the country?

Highly limited dates within a short season. Releasing saddles in August, DM us to get your name on the waitlist 🤍
One of the most coveted itineraries out there. With only 5 dates each year - and one date already sold out! - the Endless Plains horseback safari in Tanzania isn't one to put on the back burner.
Cross the Serengeti, riding as one with the vast herds of wildebeest and zebra during the greatest mammal migration on earth. Amongst the six days spent in the saddle, you’ll have opportunity to rest your weary legs and bum. Explore other areas of the reserve via game vehicle and relish in special spots for your meals when away from camp.
Overnight in custom canvas tents set amidst the shelter of classic acacia trees as your horse grazes with the wildlife.
Only available in January, February and March.

We are currently on a (self-imposed) break from all things alcoholic 💁🏻♀️ ... and very fondly remembering a fun little ride and shoot we did with visiting cowboy to the with local winelands operator Pink Geranium - missing the delicious rosé and excellent company of Lou and her team 🌸

Just you, and your horse ✖️
A new riding experience in our favorite country - currently loading ... hopefully ready by year end 🤍
When on a horse safari in Africa you do two things... 1. Drink a Savanna after a hot days ride, and 2. Take selfies with the safari dogs 💁🏻♀️🐶
We’re dying to head out on another horse safari soon and to live the simple life - beautiful views & stellar horses, cold drinks & good company, and a bedroll waiting for us at the end of each day 🙌🏼

We received a very exciting item in the post today ✨ A beautiful feature in Val de Vie Magazine as shot by brilliant photographer and friend from the Namibian Badlands Horse Safari we customized with this past April.

LAST SEAT, LAST CHANCE! One (okay two if you ask very very nicely) seats available for the adventurous trail rider. 1 - 7 MAY with direct flights ex JHB and CT. 200km traversing the Skeleton Coast and sections of Damaraland, including the Messum Crater. Fast, fun riding, great food and crew + wild camping make this the adventure of the year! https://xwild.co/badlands for the details - and bookings via [email protected]
| NAMIBIAN BADLANDS | NOW MAY 1-7 W/ PRICE DROP You spoke, we listened! Originally an 8 night / 9 day excursion, a lot of enquiries and messages were asking for a shorter trail to make it easier to get away for the safari of a lifetime. So many of you have families and work commitments - but we didn't want you to miss out on the trail nor the incredible SADC rates being offered right now due to travel restrictions (and we can't say how much longer they will last!). Now a 6-night trail - 5 nights wild camping along the Skeleton coast and throughout Damaraland to return for a final night in a lux guesthouse right on the shore front. - all for a lower cost! Email us at [email protected] - DM us - or drop your email in the comments below and we'll send through the trail sheet of all you need to know and the costs! *ONLY 2 SEATS ARE LEFT -- WITH A TOTAL TRAIL OF JUST 12 RIDERS INCLUDING XTW FOUNDERS EM + TEA*
