Matamba Equestrian Tours
Rates/Bookings

Hidden in a lush forest, just 3km from the sparkling shores of Lake Malawi, Matamba Equestrian is a charming farm stay full of character. Savour home-cooked meals made from fresh, home-grown and locally sourced ingredients. Try your hand at natural horsemanship and enjoy a ride through the private forest, or wander on foot and keep an eye out for the birds that call the property home. Stay in a cosy room in the original farmhouse, overlooking the stables and let the slow life of farm life in Malawi lull you into relaxation.

Accommodation

Nestled in amongst the forest, The Stables Guest House provides three double luxury rooms for visitors wanting something a little different than the usual beachside experience. Each beautifully furnished deluxe room provides a comfortable 4-poster bed with canopy mosquito net, fan, en-suite toilet and sink. Relax and unwind on one of the balconies as you watch the sun set across the horse stables and working yard.

Horse Riding

Visit Matamba Equestrian and enjoy one of the superb horse rides on offer. The team is highly professional and can cater to all ages and levels of riding experience, from complete beginners to seasoned riders. Ride past fishing villages, receive warm greetings from friendly children, and observe families going about their daily lives. Some rides take you through stunning Brachystegia forests, via the local township of Kande, across expansive floodplains and along the breathtaking Kande Beach. To top it all off, finish your ride bareback in Lake Malawi and swim atop your horse. This is an experience you will never forget!

  • An amazing weekend – Thank you

    My daughter took one of their planned 2 hour rides through the forest, local market and down into the lake – an experience she will never forget. How often do you get to swim with horses?
    She then also had the opportunity to stay, help exercise other horses and work there for a day and a half. To say that she thoroughly enjoyed it is a massive understatement.
