We had a lovely visit yesterday from Gordie and Felicia Church. It was great to catch up on news from Kenya and plans for the safaris ahead.
Gordie & Felicia visiting In The Saddle, Shropshire
Felicia told us all about their much-loved safari horses. As she talks about them her eyes sparkle; they are very much part of the family.
The horses are fit and raring to go, ready for upcoming safaris.
The horses are turned out at night in 4000ha, which means they are completely unfazed by the wildlife such as buffalo, who share their grazing.
Fearless in front of all kinds of game.
Their safari tents were already top of the range but Gordie told us they have been completely replaced for 2016 so any of you going on safari are in for a real treat.
A riding safari with Gordie & Felicia is synonymous with a good dose of luxury!
We also learnt about the success of the Mara private conservancies which offer superb game sightings without the crowds associated with the Maasai Mara Reserve.
Great game sighting, without the crowds sometimes associated with the Mara.
Gordie reminded us that every day, wherever you ride, you are riding amongst wildlife – whether or not you travel during the wildebeest migration.
Fabulous game sightings each and every day.
Non-riders or those just wishing to take a break from riding have their own fully fitted safari vehicle with a professional guide and so have amazing opportunities for wildlife viewing and photography.
See the wildlife from a different perspective.
There is still space on the 8 night safaris starting 11 July, 21 July and 18 September. Don’t forget that the Kenya safari price is all inclusive of internal flights, road transfers and all concession fees.
This truly is a wonderful place to ride. Looking forward to a great few safaris ahead!
