Horseback riding near Arusha
Two hours in the saddle on an old estate below Mount Meru, with zebra and wildebeest for company.
A ride through the farmland and bush of an old estate at Usa River, between Arusha and the airport, at a pace set by the least experienced rider. Zebra, wildebeest and antelope graze the estate and do not much mind horses, so you get closer than a vehicle allows. Complete beginners are welcome; so are people who want to canter.
What makes this one
- Zebra and wildebeest from horseback
- Mount Meru above, Kilimanjaro on a clear day
- Riders of every level, with helmets and a guide
