Ride Kenya

Chyulu Hills – Kenya

Richard Bonham started riding safaris from his Ol Donyo Wuas Lodge back in 2003 and the operation has gone from strength to strength – the horses are housed in a wooden fortress of a stable yard, new horses have arrived from South Africa and all this is now in the hands of the highly professional duo Patrick Stanton & Nicola Young who lead all the rides.

Ride Kenya is perfect for families – we love it – in amongst the horses, are some good fun ponies, the horizon swimming pool was a big hit and the nightdrives – a fantastic adventure, not to mention the magic of coming face to face with our first giraffe and experiencing that golden thread between rider and wildlife.

Patrick & Nicola are making horse history in Kenya – in 2008,with some of our guest on a repeat safari, they led the first riding safari ever into Amboseli National Park and just last year they brought the first Percheron horse in the country.

Summary: 6 night riding safaris guided & hosted by Patrick Stanton & Nicola Young, using a mobile tented camp, set up ahead of your arrival in varying locations. The tents have beds, tables and each tent has its own bathroom. There is a separate dining tent. The camp crew of 3 consists of groom, cook and waiter.
