Kenya
on horseback
Horseback, walking and driving safaris, planned by John Ekalale, a guide from Laikipia with more than seventeen years in the Kenyan bush.
Our safaris
Three ways to see it
Horseback safaris
Riding out among giraffe and zebra, close enough to hear them graze. Routes are matched to how you ride.
Walking safaris
Slower and quieter. You learn to read tracks, get to know the plants, and notice what you’d miss from a car.
Game drives
For the long distances, the big cats, and the days your legs need a rest.
Your guide
Meet John
John grew up in Laikipia and has spent more than seventeen years guiding in Kenya. He’s KPSGA-certified and today rides and guides with Horses in the Wild in the Mara.
He knows the people behind the best camps and stables, and that’s what goes into planning your trip.
Plan your safari
Tell us what you have in mind
There are no set itineraries. Tell John your dates, who’s travelling, how much you ride and anything you’ve been dreaming of. He builds the route himself: which conservancies, which camps, how many hours in the saddle each day.
Often he rides with you. When he can’t, one of the guides he trusts most takes his place. Send your ideas through the form or on WhatsApp, and he’ll come back to you with a route.
