My wife and I, and a friend from Zambia decided to do a 3 night 4 day riding trip with Natalie and TJ. It could scarcely have been better! The terrain was very varied, along the Nile, up and down hills, in the rainforest, with long canters and galloping stretches. The countryside is mostly green and verdant. The first night... More

An amazing trip and a must do if your in Jinja. It's a great way to really see the beautiful countryside and be immersed in it. The owners are lovely and guide you through the whole thing even if you can't ride (like me!). If you can, there is great scope for some serious riding which my wife loved. We... More

Definitely recommend this place! It was one of the highlights of my trip. I went on the 2 hour ride and I've ridden quite a lot so the pace was pretty high and it was a lot of fun. Horses seem to be in very good condition and the area is SO beautiful and varied! So even if you're not... More

Was in Jinja for business, and over the weekend I went riding with Nile Horseback Safaris - highly recommended! I've had a fair bit of school training, and done short/overnight rides in several countries around the world, and can honestly say that Nile Horseback Safaris is one of the more impressive outfits I've seen. The guides were experienced and knowledgeable... More

Since coming to Uganda in September 2009 I have been to Jinja almost one weekend every month - and almost always gone horseriding at Nile Horse Safari. The place is highly recomended both for short hacks and longer overnight or multi-day safaris. And compared with horse safaris in other African countries this is really good value for money. And best... More

I had a great time horse riding with the Nile Horseback Safaris. The horses were friendly and had great temperaments. They were well bred and cleaned. They looked healthy and well cared for. I rode the horse by various places like Victoria lake, the Haven, and the Mibira forest. The guides were local people who were highly professional and friendly.... More

Just completed ride #4 with Nile Horseback---and they CONTINUE to impress. Horse-people will be really pleased with the quality of the horses (responsiveness, energy, great temperaments), the facility (clean, organized, down-to earth, horse-friendly), the thought put towards what makes each type of visit ( from1 hour rides to multi-day safaris), the staff (locally-recruited and taught, responsible guides) special for the...
