Horseback riding can be both exciting and a challenge. Working with live animals requires some experience and lots of patience. Here are some tips to help the beginners.
When the horse seems unapproachable or aggressive, try walking in an arc toward him. This how you will become familiar for the horse. Avoid direct eye contact.
When in close proximity, extend a hand for the horse to smell. Pet the horse gently prior hop on it. Horses are trained to accept riders mounting on the left side, so follow this rule.
If you feel insecure on the horse, follow this: your shoulders and back should be straight, and the widest part of your feet should be positioned in the stirrup.
Stop the horse with a “whoa” call, followed by a halt cue of closing your fingers and pulling backward on the reins in conjunction with pushing your seat deeper into the saddle.

A Cameroon tour delivers more variety in one country than most African itineraries manage across three. Rainforest, volcanic peaks, Sahel savannah, Atlantic beaches and more than 250 ethnic groups sit within a single set of borders - which is why geographers have long called Cameroon "Africa in miniature". It is also one of the continent's least visited destinations, so the crowds you...

A Mozambique tour swaps the safari-vehicle crowds for something rarer: 2,500 kilometres of Indian Ocean coastline, coral reefs that rank among the healthiest in Africa, and an Afro-Portuguese culture you will not find anywhere else on the continent. This is a beach-and-culture destination first, a wildlife one second - and that is exactly why it appeals to travellers who have already ticked off...
