New Project for the Riding and Conservation Enthusiast

Are you passionate about horse riding and conservation? African Conservation Experience's new Hanchi Conservation Project brings together both where you will manage endangered roan and sable antelope breeding herds from horseback and study some of Africa's most elusive and persecuted predators.

Set on a vast reserve in the rugged and wild bushland of the Limpopo Province of South Africa, the management of the endangered roan antelope is critical to it's survival in the wild.  From horseback, you will monitor the roan antelope, quizzical Tssessebe and stunning sable antelope as part of this successful breeding and relocation project.  The sensitivity of the horse makes them ideal partners in traversing the bush and reserve management, ensuring game are less stressed and by nature alerting you to young and elusive animals.  Predator conservation work on the greater reserve is also a unique inclusion to this project where you will use radio telemetry to monitor movements of cheetah, brown hyena and buffalo.
