The Laikipia region, renowned for its conservation efforts and vast, uncrowded wilderness, provides the perfect canvas for our horse riding safaris. Mtalii Bush Camps is strategically located in Nanyuki, offering access to diverse landscapes, including the dramatic Ngare Ndare Forest and the protected areas of Ol Pejeta Conservancy and Lewa Wildlife Conservancy. Our horses are well-trained and suited for all riding levels, from beginners to experienced equestrians. Each ride is guided by seasoned professionals who possess intimate knowledge of the local fauna and flora. They will lead you through acacia woodlands, across rolling savannas, and alongside seasonal riverbeds, ensuring you witness the abundant wildlife in its natural habitat. You might encounter herds of wildebeest, graceful gazelles, and various bird species. The close proximity and unobtrusive nature of horseback riding allow for intimate wildlife viewing, a stark contrast to traditional vehicle-based safaris.
