Outposts Ltd took 7 people to ride in Kenya at Borana as a trial and what a success it was.

CLIENTS QUOTES.

I love Kenya.
The best holiday I have ever had, loved it all.
A very good mix of riding and rest.
Loved the locations, particularly Tassia.

Staying with the Dyers at Borana Lodge who run riding safaris, everything went better than could be hoped for. The group were huge fun and with 8 there is enough dilution for people to do their own thing. The accommodation, comfortable, unusual, characterful, varied and in truly outstandingly beautiful locations have to be seen to be appreciated.

The food, care and hospitality, coupled with friendly good humour and true enthusiasm and knowledge of Kenya from our hosts, not only widened the waistband but warmed the heart.

The ponies were all very accommodating and well behaved without being remotely boring. Light to ride and sure footed, even our less able riders managed well. The beauty of this privately, family owned area in Kenya, nestled under Mt Kenyas magnificent, cloudless and snow covered (for us) peaks, is that one can be adaptable and suit all riders.

This safari took us deep into untouristy Africa where the game really is wild and the view big enough to fill the soul. Each day involved an early start and a long ride through diverse country which changed daily. We rode as hard and fast as our weakest rider could manage but mostly just ambled along enjoying being in Africa with its sounds and smells and wonderful feel. No pressure- heaven.

The 2 weeks were designed to active and restful. Each location had a pool or a river to bathe in; one could do bush walks or just read a book. 3 days riding and one day off with a game drive to Lewa at the end where we saw all the big 5 in 4 hours! I have not seen a leopard for 26 years and this was in truly wild country. How exciting.

We even rode up the mountain to 10,500 feet for real contrast. For those who do not mind rustic charm and like views, peace and fishing, this is a must. We stayed in 2 Hansel and Gretel log cabins, caught huge trout and laughed a great deal. This ride is not for those who require ensuite bathrooms and waitress service but for a family or a friendly group, it is lovely and very different.

We can safely say we have test driven this location and it gets a 10 star rating.

Outposts Ltd specialise in taking groups who are competent riders if you want to go on a real wilderness riding safari. For those with less ability or with some members who are not too good in the saddle do not despair. Borana can do day rides and balance what we do and where we go to the groups ability. The game is there coupled with the space and the wonderful hospitality so join us for a truly once in a life time holiday.
