Laikipia — the untouched wilderness, incredible wildlife and the feeling you have this vast landscape almost entirely to yourself. Exploring this hidden gem from the back of a horse is a treat that not many get to enjoy.

Testimonial - Aoife Clark.

Irish Event Rider and Olympian, Aoife Clark, on her Offbeat Riding Safari in the Maasai Mara…

“Having never been on a riding safari before, I was blown away by the quality of the horses. They were beautifully trained, not just to ride, but also in their bravery and calmness only metres away from lions, hippos and elephants. It was mind blowing. They were incredible with their footwork on such varied terrain and were looked after so well, and clearly loved by the guides and grooms.

I had a great time on my little chestnut mare Cha Cha who I could easily have taken home!

It was simply, out of this world, and the trip of a lifetime.”

Thank you Aoife for your kind words.

A few highlights from recent weeks…

1. A herd of elephant crosses the Mara River below the watchful eyes of our horses.
2. Zawadi & Chacha are unfazed passing through a herd of buffalo herd.
3. A tiny leopard cub found in the crack of a kopje.
4. A cow elephant helps her newly born calf to its feet with the help of the rest of her herd. We then watched her dig and bury the afterbirth so as not to alert predators.
5. Walking with giants.
6. Watching courting lions from horseback.
7. The River Pride devouring an elephant carcass.
8. Walking with even more gigantic giants.
9. The ultimate stealth mode of a leopard slithering towards a herd of impala.
