Overnight Safari
Staying at The Haven

Our overnight horse safari leaves from our stables and treks approximately 20km down river to The Haven Riverside Lodge.

Ride by the Nile

We pass through traditional Ugandan villages, areas of jungle, plantations and along the banks of the River Nile. There are a multitude of birds species in the area, you may also see monkeys, and the more elusive banded mongoose. The locals are incredibly friendly and will happily wave and greet you as you pass.

You and the horse(s) stay overnight at the Haven, your luggage will be waiting for you when you arrive.

Riding horses through a trading centre

After a late lunch, take an afternoon fishing trip, swim in the pool or just relax with a book while overlooking one of the biggest rapids on the Nile.

Rider near the Nile at The Haven Lodge

After a big breakfast next morning we set off on the return journey. We trek an alternate route through Mabira forest, villages and plantations and over some spectacular views on top of the hills overlooking the Nile valley and Lake Victoria.

Horse ride through Mabira Forest in Uganda

For those who really want to have long canters, today's ride through the forest and sugarcane and tea plantations is incredible. Wide roads with minimal people, animals or traffic to slow you down.

Gallop though the plantations

We ensure all your luggage is transported to and from the lodge by car leaving you unencumbered to enjoy your ride. We also provide secure overnight parking for your vehicle.
