Life on safari with @safaris.unlimited aka Gordie and our wildlings. These two rascals join us on most safaris, camping for two months, moving with our crew across the Masai Mara and beyond. We are so lucky to have them on this adventure called life. Tyga, our loving, determined, kind, strangely shy at times little girl. The horses love her. Who one moment is pretending to be a princess and the next mud swamping and climbing the highest tree. This is what 8 looks like β₯οΈ. Thego, our old soul thatβs been on this planet a few times. Full of mischief, laughter, with a glint in his eye. A budding naturalist having already had two close shaves with elephant and a Buffalo by the tender age of 5! Intrigued by how the world works and ask where the Makadikadi salt plains are out of the blue! Where does that come from?! #wildlings #kidsonsafari #lifeinafrica #kidsinkenya #africanchildren #kenyankids
Next champions, Astro and Capetown bred by @michelle_mazurkiewicz @winevalleyadventures we are so lucky to have these gems.

π₯What a start to the season π₯ The Mara animals came out to play. We are always so humbled by her beauty, the Masai Mara never fails to disappoint. What makes it even more special is sharing with great old friends and making new friends. As a guest put it so beautifully, itβs also the people that bring this place to life.

Every year we dedicate special awards to horses that we feel have excelled themselves on safari. We have two categoryβs - THE SAFARI CUP: This cup is awarded each year to the horse/horses that have successfully completed the most number of safaris. THE VICTOR/VICTRIX LUDORUM CUP: This cup is awarded each year to the horse that shows great courage, progress and overall recognition for their extraordinary work. This year awarded to Wow and Caprivi. Second up is the Safari Cup. This has been awarded to two special horses. MSHALE: 15.2hh ~ 2001 ~ South African Boerperd ~ Dark bay gelding. Mshale came from South Africa in 2006 and is the first Boerperd Safaris Unlimited has owned. This breed is the only native horse found in South Africa and has influences of Thoroughbred, Arab, Andalusian and many more. A forward-going lead horse, he is eager and loves to jump. Mshale is Gordieβs lead horse of choice and it is fun to watch them communicate with each other β they share a very strong bond. This is a one in a million horse. He has been lead horse for over 8 years an incredible achievement and still going strong. Gordie and Mshale now have a few matching grey hairs!!!Safari Cup ~ 2016, 2017, 2018, 2020 and 2022Victor Ludorum ~ 2015. BARILOCHE: 16hh ~ 2006 ~ Thoroughbred ~ Dark bay gelding. Bariloche is an ex-racehorse but with a wonderfully laid-back attitude. He has a huge jump on him, has been well-schooled and bravely steps up to be a lead horse if needed. This charming gentleman is such a kind soul. We love him dearly. As brave as they come and yet gentle enough for Felicia to lead the children on their ponies off him. Tyga even rides him and we all love him to pieces. Safari Cup ~ 2017, 2020 & 2022. #horse #horses #horselife #horselove #horseriding #safarisunlimited #horsebackriding #horseback #horseridingholiday #horseridingholidays #horsesafaris #ridingholidays #horsevacation #cheval #instahorse #horsesafar
Every year we dedicate special awards to horses that we feel have excelled themselves on safari. We have two categoryβs - THE SAFARI CUP: This cup is awarded each year to the horse/horses that have successfully completed the most number of safaris. THE VICTOR/VICTRIX LUDORUM CUP: This cup is awarded each year to the horse that shows great courage, progress and overall recognition for their extraordinary work. First up is the Victor/Victrix Ladorum.This has been awarded to two special horses. WOW FACTOR: 16.3hh ~ 2009 ~ South African Sports Horse ~ Skewbald gelding. Wow is certainly Wow, he came from South Africa as a young horse to compete in the shows here in Kenya. He is accomplished in dressage, and thus beautifully schooled. His previous owner decided that Wow would prefer a less pressured life on safari with us. We are grateful. @lindsaycalderlc He has been incredible this season and enjoyed by all guests. CAPRIVI: 15.2hh ~ 2004 ~ South African Warmblood ~ Grey gelding. Caprivi came to Kenya from Zambia in 2010 and we bought him in 2014. His sire was a well-known eventing stallion in South Africa. He is a flashy grey, well-schooled and jumps with ease. He has flourished with safari life and loves the wide-open spaces of Kenyaβs game country. He is a very special chap indeed. He is never far behind Mshale and always near Nyota - his girlfriend. Safari Cup ~ 2015 & 2017 and now Victor Ladorum 2022. #horse #horses #horselife #horselove #horseriding #safarisunlimited #horsebackriding #horseback #horseridingholiday #horseridingholidays #horsesafaris #ridingholidays #horsevacation #cheval #instahorse #horsesafari #horsebacksafaris
A beautiful day in Kenya and a special scene of the horses and Giraffes together peacefully grazing. β€οΈπ¦π΄
A fabulous safari with the MacTaggart family and Friends. Filled full of excitements, the most memorable being the rescue of the orphaned elephant βThegoβ. The little elephant decided to take up residence in our camp. We closely monitored him as the big elephant groups passed but he decided to stay close to the safety of camp and a spring just above camp. He would sleep next to Karanjaβs tent and our camp crew would laugh and say who snored louder, Karanja or the baby Elephant! He was too small to be left so we called in the @sheldricktrust to come and move him to care and safety. Heβs doing really well thanks to them. He is named Thego after our son who literally ran into him besides our tent and from then on our son Thego would monitor his movements closely. Other days spent exploring the Lolldaiga hills on our fabulous horses or by truck coming back to our nestled away private camp in the evenings. #horse #horses #horselife #horselove #horseriding #safarisunlimited #horsebackriding #horseback #horseridingholiday #horseridingholidays #horsesafaris #ridingholidays #horsevacation #cheval #instahorse #horsesafari #horsebacksafaris
A very special find in the family photo albums. Feliciaβs Granny Bunty Moore came to Kenya in 1946 and 1948 and nearly settled. In the archives we have found wonderful letters and this fabulous photo album. She was most certainly an explorer. Traveling many African country including the DR Congo. More storyβs and photos to follow. We are just so thrilled her love of Africa continues through not only her granddaughter but her grandchildren as well.
Heavenly to see our horses peacefully grazing with these magnificent Giraffes. We are so lucky to live amongst wildlife at Sangare Conservancy which allows our horses to become naturally adapted to wildlife before our guests ride them. #equine #equinephotography #horsephotography #horsephoto #adventuretravel #wanderlust #equine #safarilife #safarisunlimited #ridingsafari #equs #caballo #lifebetweentheears #horse #horsebacktravel #horseriding #horselove #horsebackadventures

A fun outing
A fun filled weekend at a small local show. Taking Tyga and Thego with their very special ponies. New horses Quicksilver and Astro came along for an outing and to do flat work lessons. All went superbly. Not forgetting our wonderful staff who looked after small two legged and four legged with such dedication.
