Franschhoek Evening Horse Riding Trail

Have you always dreamt of riding off into an African sunset? That is precisely what we do on this evening & moonlight trail. Planned around the full moon, it is a truly unique way to explore the area at a gentle pace allowing you to take in the breathtaking views and magnificent sunsets at the historic Vrede en Lust Wine Estate, and neighbouring farms nestled in the foothills of the Simonsberg in South Africa’s most celebrated Franschhoek wine valley. The speed of this ride will depend on your riding abilities, but the beauty of the African skies will not disappoint. We will stop at the lookout point for some lovely Sundowners and snacks to enjoy another Gorgeous day in Africa and the ultimate African Sunsets. The duration of this ride is usually 2.5hr to 3hrs.
