Ride the Private Wilderness of Sosian Lodge

A horse riding holiday at Sosian Lodge offers a wonderfully flexible, lodge-based safari experience on a 24,000-acre wildlife ranch in Laikipia, with sweeping views towards Mount Kenya. Riders can explore open plains, river valleys and escarpments on fit, forward-going safari horses, often spotting zebra, giraffe, oryx, gazelle, elephant, buffalo and hippo along the way. What makes this horse riding holiday especially appealing is the freedom to create a bespoke stay, with morning and afternoon rides, bush breakfasts, sundowners, game drives, camel riding, guided walks and time to relax by the pool.

Experience the Masai Mara on Offbeat Safari

For experienced riders looking for a true expedition, Offbeat Safari offers one of Kenya’s most thrilling horse riding holiday experiences. This mobile horseback safari crosses the Masai Mara over several days, with a traditional tented camp moving through the wilderness and a fully supported team taking care of the horses, camp and meals. Riders may experience the excitement of riding near elephants, lions and buffalo, or cantering across open plains with wildebeest and zebra. With long days in the saddle, outstanding safari horses and big game country all around, this is a horse riding holiday designed for confident riders seeking a classic African adventure.

The Ultimate Kenyan Horseback Safari

What makes a horse riding holiday in Kenya so special is the variety between its riding experiences.

Both horse riding holidays combine expert guiding, excellent horses and extraordinary wildlife encounters, creating some of the finest horseback safaris in Africa.
