In an area little touched by the hand of man, on this horse safari in Tanzania, you ride beneath Ol Doinyo Lengai, the only active volcano in East Africa. Great Plains full of zebra, wildebeest, giraffe, and Grant’s gazelle provide excellent footing for spectacular fast canters. The lake is approached along a sandy riverbed, where the Masai can be seen bringing their herds to water. The inhospitable lake shore, ringed by flamingos, holds a game that is adapted to the desert environment and provides the ultimate adventurous equestrian experience. One night at a Polo Club near Arusha, and seven nights moving between fly camps on Lake Natron. Each tent has its own bush toilet and bucket shower. The horses are all-purpose trained safari horses, with a mix of local breeds and thoroughbreds. All horses are given lots of love, care, and attention, resulting in good characters and strong personalities, which allows a perfect fit with each rider. English saddles and cavalry saddles are available, and all the horses go in snaffle bridles.

The following morning after a big English breakfast there is 4 ½ hours drive to Kaskazi’s fly camp, North of N’garuka Village. Upon arrival, the crew were waiting with welcome drinks and opened arms for everyone to join the safari team at Kaskazi. After an introduction to the tents, which are bell tents, lunch is served and a safari briefing takes place. After lunch, each guest gets given his or her horse and an afternoon ride takes place for everyone to get comfortable in the saddle. The day ends around the bonfire.
Accommodation: Kaskazi’s fly camp
Everyone is woken up to some tea or coffee, thereafter breakfast is served. The day’s ride is scenic and cultural and we ride through Masai bomas and encounter herd’s men out grazing their cattle. Around midday, we stop for a lunch break where we all have some refreshments under a nice shaded three. The lunch is either vehicle-supported or we carry it in our saddlebags. Thereafter we continue and try to cover ground to reach our night stop before the sun hits the horizon.
Early wakeup call followed by an English breakfast before joining your mount. Directions are northbound for the day, with Gelai Mountain overlooking us from the East. The day’s ride leaves the Massai villages behind and enters the beautiful almost dreamlike scenery of the Natron region. If lucky the day’s ride will encounter big herds of zebras and wildebeest roaming the opened landscape. Lunch break is taken place out in the bush before taking directions for the night’s camp.
Wake up with coffee and tea before a bush breakfast.is served. Thereafter everyone mounts his or her horses and the safari continues. Today we will explore the areas around the only active volcano in Africa, Oldonyo L'Engai (Mountain of God). Late lunch back in camp with time for a siesta. The afternoon is for everyone to relax allowing riders and horses muscles to rest.
After an early full English breakfast, we have the longest and toughest ride ahead of us. We are covering about 60 km in close to 40 degrees Celsius temperature. With the volcano behind us, we enter a riverbed that offers some shade and thereafter cross the open landscape before arriving for the lunch break. We stop in the shades of some big acacias, near a riverbed to gain some more energy for the last stretch of the day's ride. The night is spent close to the hot springs, overlooking the lake.
After breakfast, a 45-minute walk takes place heading towards the springs which enters the soda lake on the eastern shores. After the exhausting heat and dust, a rewarding dip adds to the enjoyment of the day's adventures. Enjoy lunch in the springs and walk or drive back to camp. A late evening ride takes place, enjoying the cooler hours before darkness with good chances of seeing hyenas and jackals searching for food on the mud flats of the lake.
Early morning departure, leaving the dry, desolate, and hauntingly beautiful lake behind us, following the well-known riverbed back to the lush, green grassland on the foot of Oldonyo L’Engai. The night is spent in a place now familiar to everyone.
Everyone wakes up after a good night’s rest. A sad farewell is due to happen, and everyone has to say goodbye to the camp crew. It is time to pack your bags and for the last time on this journey, together with your mount ride to the airstrip, where a chartered plane is waiting to fly us all back to Arusha. Lunch will be served upon arrival to the lodge and showers available however if someone like to book day room before flying out, let us know in advance.
The adventure has come to an end and reality is waiting around the corner. Safari ends …for this time…
