Philip and Gerti Kusseler started their horseback safaris in 1999. It operates in the Karongwe - Makalali Game Reserves and traverses a vast area of 25000 hectares. The area is Lowveld Bushveld with beautiful green drainage lines that thread through the area, with the spectacular backdrop is the Klein Drakensberg Mountains. The reserve supports a host of wildlife, including the big 5 as well as wild dog and hippo.
Forty horses make up the stables at Karongwe. The main breeds are the South African Boerperd, Warmbloods and Thoroughbreds. There is also a range of good solid bush horses, and every effort is made to match the rider with the right horse. The tack used on the horseback safaris is carefully selected to ensure the horses comfort on long distance rides. All horses are undergoing training in basic dressage , which ensures that the horses are responsive and well behaved and fun to ride. The saddles used on trail are Leon Liversage Endurance saddles designed for long distance rides, allowing good comfort to the horse and rider alike. If English saddles are preferred by guests this can also be provided.
