Horseback Riding Specials
CHYULU HILLS SAFARI
SAVE $1200 on a horseback safari in Kenya
|
|
An amazing deal on a riding adventure across the African savannah near Mt Kilimanjaro.
The Kenya tourism industry is reeling from the bad press of the past few months, and now that the political situation has stabilized, visitors are encouraged to return and take advantage of some unprecedented discounts.
The Chyulu Hills Safari, and excellent and very professional operation in every way, is offering two safaris at $3400 / person. Since they take only 8 people per safari, spaces are limited and it would be wise to make reservations soon.
June 8-14: $3400 (save $575 / person)
July 15-21: $3400 (save $1200 / person from the high season price)

BOOMERANG TRAIL
New horseback riding holiday in AUSTRALIA
|
|
Special rates in May and June to launch our new Boomerang Trail.
As the name indicates, this trail is all about riding out into classically Australian coastal scenery (yes, even kookaburra’s calling), and looping back to spend each night in the comfort and notorious hospitality of an Aussie farm homestead. This week-long program on the mid-north coast of New South Wales gives you a chance to ride well-trained horses through eucalyptus forests, along abandoned timber railway lines, and onto secluded beaches. The weather is pleasantly cool in the Australian winter, and ideal for riding, when the daytime temperature averages 50-60° F.
Dates: May 11-18, May 25 – June 1, June 8-15
Price:
For a party of 2: $1,360 per person (save $125 each)
For a party of 3: $1,290 per person (save $195 each)
For a party of 4: $1,290 per person (save $195 each)

MAKING A DIFFERENCE
|
|
Equitours is committed to the conservation, preservation and maintenance of habitat, wildlife populations, and open spaces. We decided this year to begin donating a portion of our annual profits to a conservation organization dedicated to those same goals. After much deliberation, for 2008 we selected the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Kenya. The consequences of political unrest earlier this year rippled through the country, impacting tourism and employment, which ultimately threatened wildlife populations and habitat. We believe now is precisely the time when Kenya's conservation organizations are most in need of international support. We hope to inspire you -- our clients, guests and fellow riding enthusiasts -- to join us in supporting the Trust’s many worthwhile projects; from rescuing orphan elephants, to educating school children about the benefits of preserving local wildlife.
