AFRICA


HORSEBACK SAFARI IN THE MAASI MARA GAME RESERVE, KENYA

- 13 days and 12 nights


Our camera safari will take us deep into the Maasai Africa so loved by Earnest Hemingway and Karen Blixen. Our guide speaks fluent Swahili, and is intimately acquainted with the wildlife. The Maasai, still living much as they did in bygone centuries, guarding their cattle from lion with spears, retain their fierce pride and the strength of their culture. We will share camp with them, and feel a part of age-old Africa. They welcome our visit as a economic boon to their land preservation program.

Elephant, giraffe, rhino, cape buffalo, lion - some we will nearly rub shoulders with on horseback - some study from the safety of a land rover.

The 15 day adventure includes 11 days on horseback, and ends with three days at Longonot Ranch House. Camp while on safari is unbelievably comfortable , with shower tents, dinners at a linen-clothed table complete with wine and freshly baked bread. The mounts are surefooted horses of Arabian origin which are very capable of carrying us for 300 miles through Maasailand .

A safari on horseback is truly the adventure of a lifetime!
