WHERE TO GO IN MARCH
In Namibia the first safari of the year is setting off along the Skeleton Coast. These are fast and full of adrenaline. All adventurous riders should do this ride, we love it.
The Serengeti migration in Tanzania is still going.
This is the last chance to catch the warm weather in New Zealand. Each year our partner finds new routes to explore. Escape the northern hemisphere winter and come explore the Southern Alps.
Now is still a great time to head to our beloved estancia in Argentina - Los Potreros with it’s old world Argentine charm.
9 Nights | From £7,200 | Max 12 Riders | Mobile Speed Safari
Is this the best safari in the world for fast riding? Andrew Gillies is the horseman in Southern Africa and has perfected the art of the safari. With one of the highest rebook rates of any safari worldwide this should be on everyone’s bucketlist. The horses are athletic and a joy to ride, the going is fast and varied, the scenery changes moment to moment.
March is still summer in Namibia and the temperatures can be high which is why the team have created this itinerary that hugs the coast and the cool ocean air.
Gallop across the Namib Desert on a fast horse, kicking up dust behind you, sleep under the stars, indulge in incredible food (often featuring local game) cooked up by the two chefs and immerse yourself in an old school adventure style progressive ride that dramatically finishes at the Skeleton Coast. Thrilling, life affirming riding and one of our all time favourites.

SERENGETI GREAT MIGRATION | TANZANIA
8 Nights | US$9,685 | Max 10 Riders | Mobile Canvas Wildlife Safari
You may know about the Great Migration hitting the Masai Mara each year but did you know that the huge herds of wildebeest and zebra live most of the year in Tanzania? March is the last month of the short three month Serengeti season. The plains are the wildebeests’ favoured birthing spot - it is one of nature’s miracles that females delay giving birth until the rains and grass arrive in an effort to ensure their newly born young get the best start in life.
The average temperature in Serengeti National Park in March for a typical day ranges from a high of 83°F (28°C) to a low of 61°F (16°C)
Explore Africa in the shadows of the snowy peaks of Mt Kilimanjaro, encounter wildlife, raw and genuine tribes, the true and traditional mobile safari, where you cover great distances on the back of a horse.

ESTANCIA LOS POTREROS | ARGENTINA
Min three nights | from US$595 per person per night | Max 12 Guests | Dreamy 6,500 angus beef farm stay
March in Cordoba is lovely weather for a visit to the very highly regarded Begg family estancia Los Potreros “the Paddocks”. Argentina. ‘Los Pots’ is a 6,000 acre working Black Angus cattle farm that has been in the Begg family for four generations. The landscape feels like Dartmoor in the UK, misty, moody with vast grassy hills and rocky outcrops.
One of the major draw cards of a visit to Los Pots is the varied riding. You’ll ride out twice a day, once on the local criollos and once on the very flashy gaited paso horses. Riding a paso is a highlight for many of our riders.
You’ll be accommodated in beautiful converted farmhouses. Each room as it’s own bathroom and fireplace. There is no internet in the rooms but you can get online at the main house.

March is the final month of the low pricing of the Green Season in the Delta. Rainfall decreases from the peak in January and February and it steadily cools.

Now is the best time to travel to take advantage of low season pricing. You can travel in March for 60% of peak season pricing.
The wildlife viewing is always good in the Delta. A visit during December means you will be there when all the baby animals are being born. If you’d like to travel at prime time during the iconic floods visit August.
Botswana is one of if not the best place in the world to see a wide array of wildlife. There is no better way to savour the Okavango Delta and experience its unparalleled wildlife population than on horseback.
Accommodation is in a lovely luxury tented camps with real flushing loos and wonderful hot showers. The ideal wildlife safari for someone who isn’t keen on camping. This is an excellent honeymoon destination. Non-riders very welcome.
