There’s a lot to love about these browsers! From birth, young giraffe have the odds stacked against them. Despite being 6ft tall and around 65kg, they are easy prey for lions. Only between 20-30% make it to adulthood- which makes seeing such strong and brave calves like this all the more special!

An ode to the safari horse… our boys are hand chosen for moments like this! Trust is earned on quiet ground (and at the breakfast table) before it’s proven on the open plains Great Plains Conservation

Those of you who have ridden with us, have probably been lucky enough to meet Zulu. After nearly 20 years of hard work, Zulu set off to his retirement home today! Our loved and lucky boy will live out his days in the green haven of Njoro with Keeley Jane Wilson. Go well, dear Zulu! 🤍

Life is better between two ears! Saddle up and settle into your own rhythm of horses, lodge life, and unforgettable moments in the bush- it’s not just a safari, it’s a life intertwined with the wild! African Horse Safaris

Another unforgettable year in the saddle! This season, we shared hundreds of incredible rides with adventurers from all over the world. We traversed breathtaking landscapes, encountered awe-inspiring wildlife, and reveled in the beauty of nature at its finest. This year also welcomed 5 amazing new horses to our herd, each bringing their own personality and spirit to the team. Watching them grow and thrive has been a true highlight! To all our guests, staff, and of course, the horses who make this all possible – thank you for the adventures. Here’s to 2025 bringing even more magic to the hills.

It doesn’t get better than this! True horsepower in the Chyulu Hills.

The Chyulu Hills stretch 100km across the plains, where Amboseli meets Tsavo. From horseback, every stride brings you closer to space and freedom - felt in the wind, the hoofbeats and the endless horizon

This prehistoric and untouched location is famous for its open plains, exclusivity and ‘old Africa’ feeling. With totally private game viewing, safari opportunity on horseback, on foot and in the air, ol Donyo promises a totally unique safari experience.

One of the best things about ol Donyo is the flexibility it provides! You have the freedom and exclusivity to choose your own pace of adventure and customize your dream safari. Thrill seekers can gallop across the plains or fly low over the lakes in Amboseli, before returning to camp for a G&T as the sun goes down!
