The Ultimate Horseback Adventure
Ed's close friend, Franco Barbagallo, in Italy has been on this 9 day horseback trip in the gorgeous Okavango Delta of Botswana.
They saw all the the amazing wildlife of Africa during the trip and galloped alongside Zebra. Franco and Ed are now involved in planning a trip there that we will offer for May 2013.
Details and photos will soon be posted on our web site. We will be hosted by the top outfitter in the area. Camps, food and service are luxurious as in the traditional British safaris of the early 1900s.
As in all the horseback adventures we offer, we arrange unique experiences and employ only the highest level guides and outfitters with impeccable reputations for excellent horses, equipment and guest services.
Thank you,
Ed
