Ride Kenya offers tailor-made horse riding holidays in a truly unique part of Kenya. The operation is nestled in the foothills of the Chyulu Hills in southern Kenya, with panoramic views of Mt. Kilimanjaro. The riding safaris take place on over 300,000 acres of wilderness. Ride Kenya and their partner, Ol Donyo Wuas has exclusive access to this concession.

This particular concession has several distinct ecosystems, each with its own unique set of plants and animals, ranging from vast and rolling savannah plains, to acacia woodland and even jungle-like mist forests that cloak the hilltops. The focal part of the ranch is the Chyulu Hills, which rise from 3000 feet to 7500 feet and run for 40 miles. In addition to the concession, Ride Kenya has access to 500,000 acres of the Amboseli eco system. The varied and expansive landscapes in the region allow for rides lasting anywhere from 2 to 14 days. Due to the lack of water in the hills, wildlife is more prolific in the low country where we have 38 recorded species of large mammals including all the big five - Elephant, Rhino, Lion, Leopard and Buffalo, plus the plains game dominated by zebra, wildebeest and eland. There is also a huge variety of bird and plant life to be found in this area.

The tents on our mobile safaris are large and spacious, and you can easily stand up inside. There is an ensuite bathroom with a bucket shower and traditional safari style toilet. Lanterns and torches provide the light at night and all linen, soap and towels are provided. A separate dining tent is used for all meals in camp. For these safaris, you will be looked after by a full team of staff and your guides, Patrick Stanton and Nicola Young.
