Rosie who has been on 3 In The Saddle rides. An amazing return visit - Maasai Mara with Gordie and Felicia Church and their team | This was our second visit to the Maasai Mara with Gordie and Felicia, as a result we knew what to expect and this visit very much met our high expectations. The riding is sensibly paced with an emphasis on game viewing and having respect for the wildlife.

Do you have any other feedback for us?

This was our second visit to the Maasai Mara with Gordie, Felicia and their amazing team and it most certainly will not be our last. The horses, wildlife, accommodation, food and all round hospitality is second to none.

The horses were all in great health and extremely fit and well cared for. The whole group were very well matched with their horse and we all had great fun for the whole holiday.

It was great to see the same familiar faces amongst the camp team. It is astonishing how the whole camp is dismantled, moved and set up again in just a single day.

The game viewing is fantastic and most certainly achieved with the experience and expertise of Gordie and the guides. Despite the proximity to a wide variety of game we felt totally safe in their hands. As well as the horse back safari, the game drives were also very well organised and we were able to find certain species that we could not get quite so close to on horseback.

The hands on approach by Gordie and Felicia makes this trip so very special, they are with you the whole time from waking up to turning in for the night.

[Abbie from ITS replies: Thank you for your wonderful feedback on this very special safari experience. It was an absolute pleasure to arrange your trip and we look forward to organising your next riding adventure!].
