Where to do it

Each of these is somewhere we run horse Back Safaris, with its own page.

Horse Back Safaris in Maasai Mara

Maasai Mara

Kenya

The Mara is the northern end of the Serengeti ecosystem, and the single best place in Africa to watch big cats hunt. Between July and October around a million and a half wildebeest and zebra cross the Mara River into it. The rest of the year it is quieter, cheaper, and still holds the highest density of lion, cheetah and leopard in Kenya.

Horse Back Safaris in Lake Mburo National Park

Lake Mburo National Park

Uganda

The only Ugandan park with zebra, and small enough that you can walk in it, take a boat on the lake and do a game drive in the same day. Three hours from Kampala, it is the stop that turns a long drive to the gorillas into a proper first night.
