Some afternoons, the elephants decide to put on the show.

From our deck at Wait A Little, we never quite know what the day will bring but that’s the magic of the African bush. One moment, it’s silence and endless views. The next, a herd of elephants appears, moving gracefully through the landscape below.

These are the moments that remind us why we love life on safari: wild, unexpected, and beautifully unfiltered.

Experience Africa from horseback. Fall in love with it all over again.

Meet Maclay.

The horse every safari operation dreams of having.
With everything going for him, strength, smarts, and a fearless heart… he’s equally at home cruising the bush or clearing paddock fences like it’s nothing.
Reliable, bold, and endlessly capable, Mclay makes every ride feel like a masterclass in safari horsemanship.
A true all-rounder and a showstopper in every sense.

After all the hype around Badminton, we can’t forget to hype our horses back home.
Back to our “Meet the Herd” series - next up is Budweiser.

One of the legends of our horse safaris.
A trusted lead horse for many years, now enjoying life as a guest favourite and stepping up as a part-time leader when needed.

Big, steady, and incredibly comfortable…
With a gentle eye and a brave heart, he takes the bush in his stride - calm, confident, and always looking after his rider.
