Horseback riding as it’s meant to be
At Soulstride Africa, it’s all about creating unforgettable experiences.
Soulstride is my way of helping riders find the safari that truly suits them. I work with a small selection of places where I’ve personally worked and that I know and trust. Places where the horses receive the best care and riders can discover the beauty of Africa as only the locals do – far away from the tourist crowds.

How does it work?
At Soulstride Africa, everything revolves around helping you find the horseback safari that truly suits you. I personally guide and match you with a place that fits your riding style, experience and wishes - at no extra cost to you.
There are four simple steps. Curious to explore them?
Hi! I’m Lies, founder of Soulstride Africa
For two years, I traveled and worked at various horse-focused places across Southern Africa. I got to know the people behind the safaris: the guides, the teams, the horses, the landscapes. Not as a tourist, but as a colleague and part of daily life. That connection, that authenticity - that’s what I want to share through Soulstride.
What do others say?
From volunteer to life long friend!
“Lies came to volunteer at Wild Coast Horse Trails over the December holiday season and just became a great member of our team.
With enthusiasm, a strong work ethic, understanding and love for horses she fitted into the role perfectly.
Not only is Lies a great horse woman but she was wonderful with our clients and the community. She soon became a loved "local" in Kei Mouth. To this day people still talk of Lies fondly and ask frequently when she will be back and we would have her back in a hoof beat! I would definitely recommend booking with Lies.”

Reliable, Dedicated and Effortlessly Professional
“Lies is one of the most hardworking and reliable people I’ve had the pleasure of working with at Zambian Horseback Safaris (ZHS).
As the Horse Manager at ZHS, I’ve seen firsthand how dedicated, organised and proactive she is in everything she does. Whether it’s guiding rides, helping with bookings or solving problems on the spot. She’s efficient, trustworthy and always brings a positive attitude, making everyone around her feel confident and supported.
While I haven’t personally booked a safari through her as an agent yet, I have no doubt that Lies would make the process seamless and stress free. She’s the kind of person you can rely on to help plan the holiday of your dreams, taking care of all the details so you can simply enjoy the experience.
I can’t recommend her highly enough and any client booking through Lies is in exceptionally capable hands.”
