GUIDED HORSE-DRAWN CARRIAGE SAFARI
A comfortable 1-hour 15-minute journey through the heart of the wild
THE EXPERIENCE
Settle into a horse-drawn carriage pulled by two draught horses and let yourself be carried along at a gentle pace.
For 1 hour and 15 minutes, travel through the varied landscapes of La Réserve des Monts d’Azur — open plains, woodland and ponds — in surroundings made for wildlife watching and quiet contemplation.
Ideal for families, young children and anyone who prefers not to walk for long periods, this safari offers an effortless and immersive way to discover La Réserve.
Throughout the journey, a naturalist guide shares their knowledge, helping you identify species, understand their behaviour and see the living world from a different perspective.
Nothing here is staged: La Réserve is not a zoo. The animals roam freely, and some encounters take patience. Wildlife may occasionally remain out of sight — respecting its natural rhythm is precisely what makes every safari unique and authentic.
GOOD TO KNOW
Safaris take place in almost all weather conditions, unless conditions could compromise visitors’ safety.
In winter, when snow covers La Réserve, the carriages may become sleighs, offering an entirely different way to experience the landscape.
