Horse riding in Kenya and Tanzania

Horse riding in Kenya and Tanzania

Where? Ol Malo, Ndarakwai, Loisaba

Best time: All Year Round

Imagine riding through herds of giraffe in northern Kenya or crossing the Mara River with the wildebeest on their annual migration. Why not experience horse riding with the wildlife at the base of Kilimanjaro?

The animals accept horses as harmless; the humans from whom the wildlife would normally run seem unrecognized when on horseback, allowing exceptionally close game viewing.

Whilst an experienced rider will be able to enjoy all the possibilities, beginners are welcome too, allowing the entire family to enjoy a truly unique experience.

Depending on your choice, your horse riding safari can range from a one-hour introductory ride to a 10 or 14-day horseback riding trek across country.

Accommodation ranges from luxury lodges to mobile camps on the longer treks; in all cases you'll enjoy as much or as little riding as you wish, with vehicle back ups available for the 'tenderfoot' or the weary.

For the active and adventurous, this is an unbeatable part of your dream safari!
