Description

If you love riding, then galloping alongside Africa's great game amongst stunning scenery is going to be one of lives great moments...

You’ll be based at Kwa Madwala, a private ‘Big 4’ (leopard, lion, elephant and rhino) 4000 hectare game reserve, situated just South of the Kruger National Park between Swaziland and Mozambique, home to a renowned safari lodge called Manyatta, beautifully built into the sides of local kopjes.

Over the years we have sent teams of volunteers to this fantastic location who work in the lodge and on their conservation and community projects while experiencing the adventure of animal safaris, elephant rides, micro-lighting, rifle shooting, 4x4 driving and much, much more.   

Kwa have now taken on a selection of hardy bush horses to offer the unique opportunity to explore, track and conserve wildlife on horseback through this stunning African bush environment.

As a result we can now offer our leapers the chance to help and work with their horse related activities (approximately 50% of the time) and contribute to their conservation and community projects (approximately 25% of the remaining time respectively), while enjoying all the adventure that this location has to offer.

What are you waiting for!?
