About this tour

Set out on a truly unique horseback safari in Kenya, where riding alongside wildlife replaces traditional game drives. Set in the vast wilderness of Laikipia, this 8-day journey at Sosian Ranch blends adventure, comfort, and raw nature into one unforgettable experience. Covering over 24,000 acres of private conservancy, this region is home to elephant, giraffe, zebra, buffalo, and even predators such as lion, leopard, and the rare African wild dog. Exploring it on horseback offers a rare sense of freedom — allowing you to move quietly through the landscape and connect with wildlife in a way few safaris can match. Days are designed to balance immersive riding with relaxation and variety. Expect bush breakfasts under acacia trees, long canters across open plains, and nights spent both in a luxury lodge and under canvas in a fly camp. Along the way, you’ll also experience guided walks, cultural insights, and optional activities like camel safaris, kayaking, or game drives. This safari is ideal for confident riders looking for something beyond the ordinary — a journey that combines luxury safari living with authentic, off-the-beaten-path exploration in Kenya’s Laikipia plateau.
