Octopus Horse Riding Center

Good day followers, supporters, friends and family. After some deep thinking, assessments, considerations, reviews and consultations we regret to inform you that as of 2026 we will No Longer Offer horse riding activities, including weddings or horse back safaris. We will be downscaling and finding good homes for our horses. We will leave about two horses as pets. Our centre will continue to operate with animal rescue and rehab support work including horses and donkeys, adventure & team building, environmental education and animal interactions as we rebrand. We will keep you posted and updated as developments proceed. For now we continue to take bookings until such a time arrives for the horses to go to their new home.

This past quarter has reminded us that real change happens when people feel connected to the places they call home, confident in their ability to shape the future and inspired by what is possible when we work together.

In this December edition, you will hear reflections from our Chair, alongside stories from across the Kruger to Canyons Biosphere, from community-led conservation and livelihood initiatives, to youth leadership, research partnerships and landscape-scale collaboration. Each piece reflects the growing strength of partnership across our region, and the shared commitment to caring for both people and nature.

We invite you to explore the full eNewsletter and journey with us through the moments, milestones and momentum that shaped the past quarter.
