Do wild horses still exist? Yes. And where is the best place to see wild horses in South Africa? Visitors to Benguela Cove can see wild horses on our Pontoon boat cruises (if you’re lucky). Located near Cape Town, in the Overberg region of the Western Cape. Within UNESCO’s Kogelberg Biosphere, Benguela Cove (WWF Conservation Champion) provides protection for many threatened species. This region has one of the world’s most diverse floral communities. About 1,880 floral species are found on its 100,000 hectares and the coast features precious marine communities, rich in biodiversity. Along the coast, visitors get to see South Africa’s oceanic Big Five; whales, sharks, seals, penguins and dolphins. This untouched biome is a haven for birds. Kingfishers, eagles, Cape vultures and the iconic blue crane flock to this unique area. There is, however, another surprise hidden in the Overberg; the small group of wild horses that still roam this incredible landscape. How did they get there and who takes care of them? Join them to find out more.
P.S.: Leanne’s exclusive photographs will also be exhibited and are available for sale.
