Horseback Riding in Kenya

Mel and Bayard Fox began doing rides in the Masai Mara in 1979, taking summer ranch guests with them to Kenya in the winter. In the early years they guided the trips themselves and have been back many times. Mel was raised in East Africa, speaks fluent Swahili and is very familiar with the flora and fauna. It was the first Equitours ride overseas and remains a great favorite. Our horseback riding safaris in Kenya are without a doubt the most exciting and adventuresome of all the Equitours rides. Strong riders, confident at all paces on broken terrain riding athletic horses will be in their element here. The opportunity to see big game and interact with wild animals on splendid horses is thrilling. Sometimes in the Masai Mara huge herds of wildebeest and zebra extend as far as the eye can reach. The opportunity to see picturesque native tribesmen whose culture is dramatically different from ours in remote areas unspoiled by frequent tourist visits is fascinating.

The mobile camps on all these safaris are surprisingly comfortable. The two person tents are spacious and the beds have sheets and blankets. The fresh food is well prepared and the service is excellent. Hot showers are available every evening.

Kenya Wildlife Safaris

In 2008, Equitours selected the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Kenya as the charitable organization which we will support with publicity and an annual donation. Read more about

Kenya - CHYULU HILLS LODGE - This is a luxury lodge with all the amenities, in a wilderness setting at the edge of a vast savannah. It overlooks a waterhole, with the distinct outline of Kiliminjaro on the horizon. Daily activities include landrover and walking safaris, as well as riding at any level. This is an excellent choice for riders who are not ready for a more demanding safari, and for non-riding companions. Riders who do the point-to-point itinerary will enjoy relaxing here a few days before or after the safari.

Kenya - CHYULU HILLS SAFARI - A classic point-to-point safari with all the romance and adventure of mobile camps. The linear route takes you through a variety of ecosystems, from lush forests at the tops of the hills, to the wide open, acacia-dotted savannah. The variety of wildlife is impressive, and the guides are excellent.

Kenya - LAIKIPIA SAFARI - The Laikipia rides around the snow capped peak of Mt. Kenya traverses several large ranches (up to 100,000 acres) which were carved out of the wilderness a century ago by white settlers. The wild game has been well preserved on these huge ranches although there are sometimes difficult interactions between game and cattle.

Kenya - MASAI MARA SAFARI - The quintessential African adventure is riding a fast horse across the vast plains of the Masai Mara, amid herds of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle. This remarkable point-to-point safari is suitable for strong, gutsy riders who appreciate a challenge. Nights are spent in comfortable safari camps far removed from the outside world. Then fly to an estate in the Rift Valley for the final two days.
