UNICORN TRAILS HORSE RIDING HOLIDAYS WITH CAMPING Below is a list of our horse riding holidays where you will be camping out under the stars.
Some are very luxurious and may not be what you imagine a camping holiday to be. For instance the African safaris often feature walk in tents with real beds, duvets, wardrobes and even have en suite bathrooms with hot water shower/toilets!
In some places, camping is the only way to explore a remote environment and we make a basic camp site wherever we find a good spot at the end of the day and light a camp fire to cook. These are real wilderness experiences.
Most camping is somewhere in between these extremes with comfortable 2 man tents which are put up for you, foam mattrasses, a dining tent and all meals served, with one or more toilet and shower tents.
