Chyulu Trail To Kilimanjaro- An 8 day (7 nights under canvas) luxury ride in the shadows of Mt. Kilimanjaro. (Actual riding days = 6.5 and/or 1 day by vehicle in Amboseli National Park.) Departures by private arrangement. This fabulous new ride takes us along the world’s youngest mountain range, the Chyulu Hills – smoothly shaped, grass covered rolling country rising to 7,000 ft. above sea level. Between the Chyulus and Mt Kilimanjaro (19,340 ft.) are vast plains occupied by a wide variety of wild animals co-existing with the nomadic Masai. It is Hemingway’s ‘Green Hills of Africa’ and ‘The Snows of Kilimanjaro’ at one sitting. This will be an African dream.

The Aloe Blossom Ride- A 9 day (8 nights under canvas) exploration on horseback in the Masai Mara. (Actual riding days = 7.5 and/or 2 days by vehicle in the Masai Mara Game Reserve.) Departures by private arrangement. The safari starts from Nairobi where you are collected from your hotel and driven 200 kms across the Great Rift Valley into the foothills of the beautiful and secluded Loitas where our camp is set up. Then follows several days of  fabulous cross country riding in Masailand (covering about 150 kms) – perhaps the most outstanding game wilderness in the world. The camp moves by truck every other day with our final camp set up on the banks of the Mara River at Kiboko bend. Return to Nairobi by road.

Driven from Nairobi into the forested Loita Hills which rise up to nearly 9,000 ft. above sea level.

We are accompanied by 4×4 vehicles for game drives and close-up photography when we reach the game reserve.

This safari combines a luxury camping and photographic safari in different parts of Kenya visiting Meru and Aberdare National Parks, the Great Rift Valley, all by 4×4 safari vehicles, followed by a week on horseback in the Masai Mara. This itinerary is ideal if your partner or members of the group are non-riders.

Nowhere Left To Hide- A 16 day odyssey in Masailand and the Great Rift Valley. Departures by private arrangement.
This spectacular riding safari is our most popular trek for the true equestrian who wants an uninterrupted horseback adventure across the forested Loita Hills and the open plains of Kenya’s Masailand. The safari starts with a night at a Nairobi hotel before driving out to the Loita Hills near the Tanzanian border, where we find our base camp. Then follows 12 days of progressive riding through a wildlife kingdom unsurpassed anywhere else in Africa. We mingle with the nomadic Masai tribe and wander among huge herds of plains game – a thrilling experience especially during the period of the wildebeeste migration up from the Serengeti between July and October. After our last camp, set up on the banks of the Mara River, with its heavy population of hippo and crocodile, we drive to Longonot Ranch House near Lake Naivasha for two days of boating, birding, some riding and relaxation before returning to Nairobi for your final departure.
