With Mount Kilimanjaro as the back drop, these horse safaris traverse a variety of quintessential and game rich East African landscapes from the majestic Chyulu Hills to the plains of Amboseli.
With access to over 1.4 million acres, including two national parks, the horse safaris from Ol Donyo Wuas operate in one of the largest wilderness concessions in Africa today.
Enjoy riding through a great variety of truly wild, unfenced ecosystems; from the vast savannah plains of the lowlands, through thick acacia forests, to the famous Chyulu Hills. The Chyulu Hills are the youngest range of volcanic hills in Africa, the last volcanic activity having happened only about 600 years ago. Within this area
reside some of Africa's most magnificent creatures including elephant, rhino, lion, leopard and buffalo not to mention
hundreds of species of birds and a huge variety of plant life.
These mobile safaris are reminiscent of the safaris of old. The tented camps are very comfortable, with wrought iron twin or double beds, fine linen, en suite bathrooms, a central dining tent and a high standard of food and drinks. All the mobile safaris are supported by a crew of grooms, chefs, waiters and general helpers to ensure your maximum comfort. When on safari you usually spend between four to six hours each day in the saddle, sometimes covering up to 30 miles and also have the opportunity to enjoy game drives, bush walks and night game drives. Camp is usually moved ahead each day.
The horse safaris are managed and guided by Patrick Stanton and Nicola Young, an enthusiastic and experienced couple who will look after your every need. They have a selection of very well-schooled horses which are used to the wildlife and terrain.
