Ride across Botswana with eventing ace Mark Todd

Ever wondered what it would be like to ride in the company of eventing legend Mark Todd?

If you’re an eventing fan who has dreamed of taking part in a riding holiday horseback safari then adventure companies Zara’s Planet and In the Saddle have created your trip of a lifetime.

This year’s Badminton winner and double Olympic gold medalist will be leading a riding safari in Botswana’s stunning Okavango Delta.

The trip runs from 25 November to 2 December at Macatoo, a luxury camp in one of the very best game viewing areas in the world.

The Okavango Delta is a true African wilderness and visitors can expect longs days of riding on well schooled horses, while getting up close and personal with the wild animals.

Prices are £3,000 per person sharing (with Zara’s Planet) and include all the riding, bush walks, game drives, meals, drinks and transfers in and out of camp.

Places are limited. For information and booking, contact Zara’s Planet on 0844 870 300 or www.zarasplanet.co.uk, or In the Saddle on 01299 272 997 or www.inthesaddle.com
