We operate riding safaris from our luxury mobile tented camps in remote areas
of Kenya. All supported by lorry. Riding safaris always have land rovers
along for game drives.
Game is plentiful everywhere we conduct riding safaris. We ride where dangerous
game abounds. Your guide is knowledgeable and conversant with the habits and
likely reactions of the game, in any situation you should do as he/she says.
Most of the rides in Masailand and the Northern ranches are on fairly open plains
(black cotton soil) interspersed with bush. They are short grass plains
ideal for riding. Care must be taken for holes but canters and gallops are
taken on open plains.
Our home and headquarters are at Deloraine in the Rift Valley near Nakuru. This
old colonial house was built in 1920 by Lord Francis Scott, a predominent
early settler. All our safari guests stay here at some stage during the
trip. There are lovely rides on the surrounding 5000 acre farm, the gardens
are themselves worth the visit. There are several interesting day trips to
the flamingo lakes of Bogoria and Nakuru which are within easy reach by
vehicle.
All food is fresh. We carry dry ice and cubes and are self sufficient for one
week. Bread is baked daily on open fires and our chefs are extremely good.
You will again be pleasantly surprised.
Beers and Sodas are free, as is all alcohol on our Tailor made safaris. Set
departure ask for wines, spirits to be covered at cost. Duty free whisky is
offset against this if brought.
We have no winter or summer as we are so close to the equator. There are two
rainy seasons November and April/May. The hottest months are February/March,
September/October but there are no hard and fast rules on this. We ride at
an Average of 5500ft. This makes for a cool climate and also means there are
very few mosquitoes.
Other Activities include Game drives, night game drives and game walks are undertaken on every safari
whether riding or not. There is no lack of activities on safari.
Our Horses are well schooled thoroughbred and thoroughbred cross. Many are home bred out of our
best mares. All are tried for polo and our best polo ponies all go on safari. Therefore responsive,
tough and fit. You will be pleasantly surprised.

able to gallop out of trouble. We ride in big game country. You should be
fit enough to ride between 4 and 6 hours a day. Weight limit 210 1bs, 95 kgs.
