Horseback Safari in Africa

Day 1: Welcome to the Safari World

Kenya is arguably the home of safari with a high concentration of wildlife, unique and diverse landscapes and distinct tribes of Africa.

One of our representatives will meet you at your residence/hotel, brief you on your safari itinerary, and then transfer you to Wilson Airport for your flight to Ol Malo.

The expected arrival time is around mid-day. You shall be transferred to the lodge for check-in, lunch and refreshments.

Then we head out for an afternoon game drive, exploring the wildlife and vast landscape. This is an introductory wildlife viewing experience as you acclimatise with the surroundings.

Head back to the lodge in the evening for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 2: Horseback Safari and Sundowner

Expect an enchanting day as we prepare to explore the expansive wilderness on horseback. Start your day with a refreshing and energizing breakfast and head to the stable to be assigned your horse. Horse riding is tailored to ability and can include a walk onto the plains or a more advanced ride down towards the river where you shall have your picnic lunch. Being on horseback allows you to get much closer to the wildlife.

After the picnic lunch, you head back to the wilderness for another adventure as we also head for a sundowner, a private location for drinks of your choice while meat from the Ol Malo Ranch roasts over an open fire, the African Barbercue. Watch as the sun sets and the African Night Sky comes alive with stars.

Head back to the lodge or you can opt to spend your night at Leopard Hide with cosy bunk beds inside the safety of a hide near a watering hole.

Day 3: Visit the Samburu and Guided Walks

After breakfast, you leave the lodge for more unique wildlife adventures. 

Escorted by an experienced Samburu Guide. you will explore the wilderness on foot to connect with the land at the people on a more intimate level. The guide can also guide you to a hike in nearby hills or complete a run for the three-peak challenge. For lunch, you shall have a picnic lunch atop the hills.

After lunch it's time to visit the Samburu. Because of the strong relationship that Ol Malo has with the Samburu tribe, guests are welcomed to several local community homesteads. Gain an insight into the Samburu way of life by seeing traditional dances and singing, visiting the local market and joining a Samburu mama in her home for tea.

This will be more than a pleasant encounter as you will have a personal experience with this colourful tribe. Later, we head back to the lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

Day 4: Bush breakfast experience and end of this Horseback Safari

Start the day with an early morning game drive, as you continue to explore this wonderful wilderness. Your guide will look for the perfect spot in the wilderness for your bush breakfast. After the bush breakfast, you can opt to explore the wilderness on foot as you return to the lodge for check out.

Later, you'll be transferred to the airstrip for your scheduled mid-morning flight to Nairobi.

One of our representatives shall be waiting for you at Wilson to transfer you back to your residence/hotel.

The Camp is closed on April, May and November
