Rides on the Wild Side brings together some of the world’s finest horseback riding vacations and Equestrian tours Worldwide.

"Tailor-made itineraries are my speciality - from the very affordable to the uber luxurious!".
Rides on the Wild Side has horse rides to suit every rider of every level – from novice to experienced.

Unlike any other agency Dany Hancock, Founder and Director of Rides on the Wild Side can PERSONALLY endorse every horse riding safari advertised and has selected each one for their sense of adventure, fun, safety and, above all, professionalism.
Rides on the Wild Side does not run the horse rides itself, but works with a selection of hand-picked operators. This means you can be assured of unbiased, expert advice on your dream horse riding safari, vacation or holiday created especially to suit you.

Booking through RWS means no extra cost to you for unbiased advice and suggestions in choosing your horse Riding safari in Africa or elsewhere. With the expertise and knowledge of Dany and her team, there is an immediate response to your questions as well as expert advice. The emphasis is on creating the right safari experience for you. Riding holidays are unique: there are few people happy to book such a holiday without a great deal of research and assurance. I would expect a high level of service in this area and so should you!

How to choose the right riding safari for you?

You may already know where you want to go or at least have a very firm idea about the country/area you wish to ride in, but if you’re not so sure which ride would be the best for you – or if you’re able to be spontaneous and pack your bags next weekend, CONTACT US and we will give you guidance and will forward the RIDERS QUESTIONNAIRE. It simply asks about your riding experience and type of riding you enjoy and from there we will select the most suitable destination for you. In addition, our RIDES menu bar categorises each destination by the type of ride/experience offered: eg: Family Fun, Riding with the Big 5 and so on. With regular flights worldwide it is often possible to get to your ride within 24 hours (or sometimes even less) from leaving home! Remember, it is possible to train up for your preferred ride and RWS will give you advice on that.
