Be awed…

Bontsintsi Horse Safaris takes you to the heart of Botswana – one of Africa’s most celebrated big game safari destinations. Here, you will traverse the vast floodplains of the Okavango Delta, overnighting in mobile camps and dining in beautiful wilderness settings. Encountering majestic wildlife from horseback brings you into the present moment, where you forget about the past & leaves you not thinking of the future. Your experience is co-created with our well trained and schooled herd of horses which graze the floodplains on their off days. Expect an adventure that will restore your senses and leave you feeling truly alive.
Bontintsi means “immeasurable abundance” in Setswana – Botswana’s main indigenous language. The concept of abundance has always been on our hearts. Our Lord gave us life in abundance, and so we strive to weave this into everything that we are involved in. We love to see others experience this abundance.

Guest Reviews
“Bontsintsi Horse Safaris is, simply put, amazing. Riding in the everchanging environment of the Okavango Delta, jumping fallen branches, cantering through the floodplains alongside zebras, stand face to face with elephants and hippos… Nothing can beat that feeling. Louise, Herman, and Ray are the most warm and kind people, and I felt so welcome. Ray is an amazing horseback guide, competent and engaging, and the horses are so well taken care of. Beautiful and comfy tents and beds, great food and a fantastic environment to be part of. Can’t wait to be back!”
