Kenya's Masai Mara Ride
DAY 1: Pick up from the airstrip and transfer to the
campsite, hidden away in an Acacia forest. Afternoon
ride to explore the surrounding area.
DAY 2: Early morning ride, returning to camp for
breakfast. The rest of the day spent exploring this
magical area on the horses, by car, or on foot. Night
drives can be very rewarding to see nocturnal animals.
DAY 3: After breakfast, you ride through vast tracts of
open country, heading for lunch and a water stop for the
horses, beneath the Bardamat Hills. Enjoy a siesta
before the afternoon ride, which climbs through these
scenic hills to the next campsite. Set on a bluff offering
unparalleled views, this site will display the extensive
countryside that surrounds you.
DAY 4: A day spent exploring this untouched area of
Maasailand.
DAY 5: You move on, carrying lunch in the saddle bags.
Riding west, through open country, to reach the
Njaknjiak Gorge for a refreshing lunch time swim in the
rock pools. In the cooler hours, head for camp pitched
on the Olare Orok stream.
DAY 6–8: Probably the best game viewing area the Mara
has to offer is based at the Accacia Camp. For the next
three days, you explore the surrounding countryside by
horse and Land Cruiser, and interact with the local
Masai.
DAY 9: After breakfast, depart for the airstrip.
