Ride among zebras, giraffes and elephants on Laikipia’s private ranches, with expert riding guides and well-schooled horses.
Overview
A Laikipia horseback safari is one of the most thrilling ways to experience Kenyan wildlife. On horseback you can approach giraffes, zebras and antelope far more quietly than in a vehicle, riding across the open plains and acacia country of Laikipia’s private ranches north of Mount Kenya.
You stay at a riding lodge or camp with well-schooled horses and expert riding guides, riding morning and afternoon with game drives, walks and sundowners in between. This safari is for experienced riders who are confident at trot and canter.
Best for: Specialist / adventure. Popular with: Experienced riders from the UK, Ireland, Germany, France and Scandinavia. Best time: June–October and December–March.
Price is from USD 3,900 per adult sharing; the final cost depends on season, accommodation and group size.
