Maasai Mara | Safaris Unlimited - Kenya

Maasai Mara Starting at Nkilenya

5 star rating   29 September 2024

Sylvia who has been on 4 In The Saddle rides. This is how mobile safari is done! | The riding was as promised- more relaxed pace on surefooted horses to enjoy the nature and wildlife sightings, which we had plenty of. Despite that, we had daily long trots and canters and were even treated to a beautiful flat out gallop. Even if this is considered a slower ride, I would advise to come fit and don't underestimate the long hours in the saddle, heat and elevation. The wellbeing of the horses and safety of the riders is paramount to Felicia and Gordie and it is obvious how well are the horses taken care of and how loved they are.
The tack was in pristine condition, checked daily and after few days I really appreciated the seat saver.

Do you have any comments about the accommodation and food?

The tents are as luxurious as you can imagine considering this is a mobile camp safari. The furnishing is simple yet elegant and really takes you back in time. The beds and sheet are amazingly comfortable and basins outside your tent very practical with a large mirror. The most attentive staff makes sure you are never short of water to shower or wash your face, the laundry is done every other day and leaves one wondering how do they manage it all.
The food and kitchen staff deserves a high prize. After seeing the kitchen tent I am humbled by the skills and resourcefulness of everyone involved. The food will meet even the highest expectations of any safari foodie.
