Smeštaji za odmor – Paarl

** PLEASE REQUEST YOUR PREFERRED DATE IF IT'S NOT AVAILABLE ON MY CALENDAR ** This is an online experience - LIVE (not pre-recorded) - where you will join me from the comfort of your own home or office. We are great for groups, great for teambuilding, and family friendly. We start at the entrance to the 240ha wildlife sanctuary where we will go in search of the variety of South African Wildlife that inhabit the reserve. I will share the history of the farm, teach you about the various types of animals we will encounter and tell you stories about those living in the reserve that I've grown to know. We get close enough to observe free-roaming wildlife in their habitat but we maintain respect for their space at all times and keep a distance they are comfortable with. When we get back to the horse camp, I will introduce you to our 13 gentle horses, a South African breed called a Boerperd, and answer any questions you might still have. Other things to note: This is a virtual experience so you need to join on your computer or phone. I have an optional interactive quiz for teams, for some friendly competition. You'll need a second device. >> I am now hosting this experience using a golf-cart and no longer on horseback. The format & wildlife viewing is unchanged, the only difference is the absence of my horse's curious ears on my screen. You'll still meet him at the end <<

I will take you and your small private group of guests on a horse ride through some of South Africa's most well-known wine estates. Along the way, we will take in spectacular views of Table Mountain and the mountains of Stellenbosch and we'll see many different bird species and possibly, some antelope. For our two-hour ride, we'll start off with a short lesson for novices to ensure everyone is comfortable with their horse and their equipment. When everyone is happy, we'll set off across our nursery farm before we cross to our neighboring wine farm, Joostenberg. Half way through our ride, we will stop for some light refreshments, including a glass of wine or juice and a snack. You'll get to relax in the shade of indigenous trees before mounting our horses again. We'll then head back toward the Pink Geranium Nursery, surrounded by mountains, vineyards, and tranquility. All levels of riders are catered for, so you will get exactly the ride you want, be it a gentle meander through the vineyards or a fast-paced canter down a sandy track. Our horses are very well trained, and very well looked after. We'll never ride the same trail twice, so no one will get bored of the route. Other things to note Please make every effort to arrive on time. If you are running a little late, please contact me so I can try to accommodate you. I will try to delay our departure, but can not guarantee this.

I'll bring you to the island prison where Mandela and I first got to know each other. I'll give you insight into life at the prison, as well as my experience as a white warder under apartheid. And I'll take you to Mandela’s cell, the lime quarry where I used to drive prisoners, and where I used to stay on the island. Other things to note Bring sunscreen and something warm for the ferry.

This ride will be one-hour long. This ride does not require previous riding experience. Thrill-seeking, experienced riders might enjoy our two-hour ride or our half or full-day wine tour rides. Guests can book a picnic or a wine-tasting at a small extra fee, but you need to book these in advance please. Other things to note Please note: My first priority is your safety, and as such, I reserve the right to change the planned route based on various factors on the day. If you arrive late I may need to cut your ride short.

*** Please note our maximum weight limit is 90kg and our minimum age to ride is 8 years old - no exceptions will be made *** We start out by making sure every rider has a helmet that fits for safety, and then we get you comfortably onto a horse that is most suitable for you. If you've never ridden before, we show you how to hold your reins and how to ask your horse to do the basics you'll need for the ride. We set out on a short 10 minute walk through the farm to the gates of the wildlife sanctuary, where we'll spend the next hour and a bit riding among giraffe, wildebeest, zebra, eland, bontebok, springbuck, gemsbok, waterbuck, kudu and a variety of birdlife. We will then ride through the vineyards of our neighbours to the tasting room where you will spend 45 minutes wine tasting. It's then a short 10 minute ride home. In respect to the wildlife in their environment, we are only allowed to go at a walking pace inside the reserve, but for advanced riders who want a bit of a gallop, we do have opportunity once we leave the sanctuary. Other things to note Rider weight may not exceed 90kg (no exceptions). Minimum age is 8 years old for children joining family members. No wine tasting for under 18's but cold drinks are available for purchase. Wine tasting is R40 per person, payable separately at the wine estate.
