About this tour

This 7-night horseback safari through Kenya’s Masai Mara offers a rare way to experience wildlife beyond the limits of traditional game drives. Traveling from the Mara River through the Mara Triangle and into the private conservancies of Olare Orok and Ol Kinyei, this journey combines long riding days with exceptional wildlife encounters, scenic landscapes, and comfortable mobile camps. You’ll ride across open plains alongside zebra and giraffe, track wildlife in remote areas, and explore regions known for high densities of lion, elephant, and buffalo. The itinerary blends horseback riding with game drives and guided walks, allowing for both immersive exploration and excellent photographic opportunities. With river crossings, escarpment views, and cultural visits to local Maasai communities, this safari is designed for riders seeking both adventure and authenticity in one of Africa’s most iconic ecosystems.
