Kenya is where the concept of horseback safaris began in the 1970's. Horseback riding safaris, Kenya is no doubt the most exciting and adventuresome of all our rides. Strong riders, confident at all paces on broken terrain while riding athletic horses will be in their element here. The opportunity to see big game and interact with wild animals on splendid horses is thrilling.
There are two types of horseback safari in Kenya. The traditional luxury mobile tented camp in the south of the country around the Maasai Mara and the centre-based lodge rides. Both offer great riding and game viewing and superb accommodation. Sometimes in the Masai Mara huge herds of wildebeest and zebra extend as far as the eye can see. The opportunity to see native tribesmen whose culture is dramatically different from ours in remote areas unspoiled by frequent tourist visits never fails to fascinate.
One of the unforgettable memories of an African horse safari is the concert of night noises which accompany your dreams. Often you can hear the plaintiff, lilting calls of a hunting pack of hyena in the distance and sometimes the deep, vibrating roar of a lion. Most galvanizing of all is the sudden shriek of a harmless hyrax in a tree above your head. There is always the murmuring, indistinguishable background noise of myriads of birds, animals and insects which lulls one to sleep..
