Kei Mouth | Wild Coast Horse Trail, Best Kept Secret in South Africa
Kei Mouth | Wild Coast Horse Trail, Best Kept Secret in South Africa
By Viola Woolcott
The Wild Coast stretches from Port Edward in the north to Kei Mouth in the south, and the regional district stretches in land as far as Mount Fletcher, where the hinterland becomes the highlands. It is a rich, fertile place, with many farmers indulging in the well-fed soil of the valleys of the series of rivers cutting their paths relentlessly to the Indian Ocean.
If you have a passion for horses, experience the essence of rural Africa on horse back. Explore countryside, hidden coves and long, endless stretches of deserted beaches. Gallop along the pristine sands. Canter into sleepy, tribal coastal villages and enjoy a great pub lunch. Discover the rolling hills and savanna grasslands. Go for a swim in the sea or lagoon if you or your horse need to cool off. This rare riding holiday has it all.
Encounter the wonderfully diverse South African culture. Experience a rainbow of people and a community working together through tourism for yourself.
No doubt, you will be fascinated by the unique combination of cross country riding and the exploration of our beautiful coastline.
This trail is about experiencing Africa like you have never experienced it before, starting in Kei Mouth. Together we explore local legend sites and rural villages and along the way we interact with the Xhosa people, before you experience the untouched beauty of the Wild Coast coastal environment.
