Lise's thoughts on Desert Homestead:
The hosts at Desert Homestead just can't do enough to make sure that your stay with them is fantastic. This is African hospitality at its best.The horse trails offered at Desert Homestead are a great way to see the desert, even for someone like me who doesn't know the front-end from the back-end of a horse! You get a completely different perspective from horseback and it is absolutely enthralling!
