Fabulous holiday - We stayed with Pat and Mandy for a week in their beautiful holiday home on the Indian Ocean in Vilanculos. From the moment we arrived they, and their wonderful staff couldn’t have done more for us. The riding part was fun, challenging in places and provided a unique insight into this spectacular environment. The food was superb, the attention to detail and the adaptation to any needs of ours made this a really unforgettably fantastic experience! Thank you so much ❤️

Must do experience. - What an amazing experience. Our 2year old went on her own horse by herself. Her First time on a horse and they treated her so good. Lovely and so friendly people. We met some amazing people(guides) and the experience to Drive in the Water was Breath Taking. Our Daughter enjoyed herself alot. This is an experience you must do if you are in Vilanculos. We had a 6month old which were unable to go with us, because of certain rules, but they provided us with a babysitter. Contact them before hand to make sure, because at this time there were also a 4months old from one of the guides, which had a full time nanny. I don't know if she is always there.

Beautiful experience - This was a magical experience and I wish I could have returned to meet and ride more of Mandy’s beautiful horses. Mandy and her staff were very informative and obviously know and care deeply for each individual horse. As a horse owner this compassion for them made the experience even greater. There was no speed, and no need for it in the clear warm water, a perfect 45 minutes of playing and ‘swimming’ with horses. Suitable for total beginners or anyone who loves horses. I did not know Pat and Mandy’s story prior to the ride, and was delighted to buy her book to learn the whole story. I can’t put the it down - what an incredible and emotional story.

Redemption for Your Soul - This was just a magical time that brought me to tears (in a good way) to release all of the stress from many months. The staff and helpful and kind. The horses are all great and I felt very connected to them and the water. We really appreciated seeing friendly faces, all the help with great photos and the privilege of visiting a wonderful place. I'm sorry I wasted time at a resort when I should have gone on a week horse safair instead. Thanks so much to everyone there!

Horse riding in the ocean - Great afternoon out. Fun for all abilities from the non rider to more experienced riders. Pat and Mandy were great as were the helpers in the sea. Beautiful setting and lovely to see the care with which the horses are looked after. Having read Mandy’s book 104 horses (which I thoroughly recommend) it was great to actually meet them.

Memorable ride - We rode with Mozambique Horse Safaris on Benguerra Island. The main operation is in Vilankulos but they have six horses on Benguerra Island. We did two rides of approximately two hours each with Charlotte - and loved both!
