Guests transferred to Dinaka Lodge for the entire ride. At Dinaka guest accommodations arein twin-bedded, luxury thatch lodges, with ensuite bathrooms. The lodges are situated high on a ridge overlooking a picturesque lake below and have spectacular views across the plains. This is a prime spot to relax whilst observing the activities of passing wildlife, or the occasional antics of the hippo in the water below. As rides are taken during the cooler hours of the day, when the game is more active, there is plenty of time to relax and cool off in the plunge pool.

Guests will be transferred from the airport to Dinaka in time for lunch and a chance to relax, unwind and meet with the fellow members of their safari group as well as the hosts Kobus and Saskai Haverman. That afternoon they will have their first opportunity to experience the awesome riding country of Dinaka, with its long sandy tracks, abundant wildlife and stunning scenery. On the ride, guests are likely to experience the thrill of riding at close quarters with white rhino.

The mountain valley ride. This half-day ride follows one of the valleys that leads deep into the Waterberg escarpment. It is the most taxing, but also the most rewarding ride, in terms of terrain and scenery. The trail follows a crystal clear stream and passes several picturesque dams, laden with water lilies. A surprise bush breakfast is served by the edge of one of the dams. Guests can relax and sip champagne, whilst absorbing the beauty of their surroundings. The afternoon is a gentle pre-sunset ride to one of the larger dams hosting some of the many hippos on the reserve.

This morning's ride includes a visit to the local junior school. It is a pleasure to meet the children, who are always eager to entertain visitors with an uplifting African song. Riders return to the lodge for brunch and a chance for a siesta, or cool off in the bubbling plunge pool. An afternoon ride enables yet another rare chance to ride alongside the endangered and hugely impressive white rhino.

A ride to another area of the reserve, where Dinaka runs its highly successful breeding programme for highly valued species, which include white blesbuck, sable antelope and bontebok. En route the ride crosses a particularly fertile plain where riders can experience the exhilaration and thrill of cantering amongst herds of game, with many different species galloping together across the plains.

The afternoon proves a welcome break to both horse and rider. A Dinaka guide will escort you on an informative game drive, where you will visit another area inhabited by the buffalo and some unusual red wildebeest. The guide, who is responsible for the feeding and monitoring of the rhino on the reserve, will accompany the guests for a very special opportunity to approach and observe some of the rhino on foot.

Today brings a chance to explore the Waterberg further, this time in a vehicle and join a big five game drive. Guests will be taken to a nearby game reserve (about a 45 min drive from Dinaka) this beautiful reserve is home to The Big 5 and offers wonderful opportunites to view lions and if we are lucky elephants from the safety of a vehicle. The reserve also offers helicopter flights over some of the most stunning areas of the reserve.

Today guests depart the lodge with a picnic lunch and make for the top of the mountains. The views along the way will be etched on your memory forever and the ride gives riders the chance to look back over the Waterberg in all its splendour.

A tranquil and scenic ride, which meanders in the foothills of the mountains. There is always an element of surprise! The afternoon ride has proved a favourite, and is delightful for photography. A visit to 'jackal dam', which is a particularly attractive spot in the late-afternoon light, where the horses splash amongst the water lilies.

The last night is the final 'braai' evening where guests relax around the fire, enjoy the African night sky and toast their experiences whilst a feast is served.

One last opportunity to enjoy riding on this stunning reserve and with its amazing array of wildlife. A final gallop along the endless sandy tracks, before returning to the lodge to enjoy another of their infamous brunches. Guests then depart after brunch.
