The Ultimate Riding Safari

Experience the joys of getting up close and personal to the wilds of the Mara on horseback with one of the top riding outfitters

Our partners have been operating since 1990 and have a stellar reputation for providing unrivalled mobile horseback safaris amongst big game. Riding up close to elephants, lions and buffalo, or galloping with wildebeest and zebra are life-changing experiences. If you are an experienced rider, there is simply no better way to see Kenya than from the back of a well-schooled and fit horse.

The Mara never fails to deliver outstanding game viewing from horseback, all year round. Whether you ride with the wildebeest migration from July to October or avoid the masses and opt for the warm, dry months of December to March the game viewing is always spectacular.

With a traditional mobile tented safari camp that moves with us, supported by a lorry and Land Rovers, this is the epitome of what a true 'safari' is all about. Wildlife is plentiful in all the areas that we ride and your guide is highly knowledgeable and conversant with the habits and likely reactions of the wildlife.

We ride in big game country, on open plains interspersed with bush. The short grass plains are ideal for riding (although you must look out for holes) and long canters are taken. We ride for 4 – 7 hours per day with 2-hour lunch stops, and on our longest moving day, we stop for breakfast on route. Walking on foot is sometimes necessary over rough terrain.

This week-long safari offers the pure bush experience. With 4 different camp locations, you will literally ride from one side of the Masai Mara to the other, covering over 250km.
