About Us

Pegasus Retreats is an international brand that was started by two local women (Therese Cilliers, native to South Africa, and Cecile Auersperg, native to Spain) in 2018 – with the goal in mind to provide so much more than your average horse-safari.  Being frustrated that they could only ever do one country’s safari at a time, not knowing what standards they would get upon arrival, and not knowing if their holidays were making a true difference through sustainable travel – they decided to do something about it.

The brand strives to be as sustainable as it can be (as can be seen here), and provides its clients with the comfort of knowing exactly what type of standards, service and properties it can expect upon arrival – only making use of Legend Hospitality Group’s properties in its African safari, and local Haciendas of the highest standards in Europe.

Using only locally bred-horses on each safari, with a true focus on the Andalusian & Appaloosa-breeds (due to the connection of the Habsburg-family and their influence on the breed), clients can expect a truly once-in-a-lifetime-experience – having the only opportunity in the world where you can see three countries on horseback in one amazing safari – with the focus on exclusive, slow-travel taking the fore.
