Horse riding safaris in Kenya

Located in the Laikipia Plateau, Sosian Lodge is a favorite of ours in this area. The lodge offers a ranch-like environment, and sits on an impressive 24,000 acres of private land. Sosian offers the conventional safari activities, like day and night game drives and walking safaris. It also offers some more unique experiences like waterfall jumping, kayaking, fly camping, and camel rides. When it comes to horse riding, it’s one of the best places in East Africa. Sosian offers two different types of horse safaris. The first is you can do a ride from the lodge as a morning or afternoon activity, which lasts around 2-3 hours. The other is that you can do an extended horseback safari, where you can spend around 5-7 days enjoying a horseback safari.

Ol Donyo Lodge is part of the Great Plains portfolio, so you can guarantee exceptional guiding, food, service, and all-round safari experience. The lodge is situated between Kenya’s Tsavo National Park and Amboseli National Park. In the heart of the Chyulu Hills, it feels like you have an entire savannah to yourself. Ol Donyo offers a wealth of safari activities including bush walks, game drives, biking, and of course, horse riding. Amateur riders can enjoy a hour-long ride across the open plains, but a short assessment in the resident area is required to make sure that both the rider and the guide are comfortable. For more experienced riders, you can enjoy a longer ride across the foothills of Chyulu Hills, with up to 4 hours admiring abundant wildlife.
