Offbeat Safaris is well known to be one of Africa’s top Mobile Horse Riding Safari Companies. The horses are well schooled thoroughbred and thoroughbred cross. Many are home bred and all are responsive, tough and fit. Over the duration of a full riding safari guests become highly attached to their own personal mounts. One of the key factors of any safari in Africa, but in particular a riding safari, is the guide. Offbeat has built an excellent reputation by providing guides who are top horsemen, passionate about Kenya’s wildlife and great hosts.
Most of the rides alongside the Masai Mara and through the Northern ranches are on fairly open plains where you find black cotton soil interspersed with acacia bush. Many areas have short grass plains ideal for riding. Care must be taken for holes but canters and gallops are taken in open plains areas. Good riding ability is important. Guests should be comfortable at all paces, be able to gallop and react quickly and safely.
This is a fabulous riding safari for the experienced horse enthusiast and a real adventure!
