TANZANIA HORSE SAFARI  $5990 per person sharing (valid for 2010)

A luxurious 4 night/5 day safari will offer riders unparalleled horse riding and game viewing in Tanzania’s Singita Grumeti Reserves. The horseback safaris are available throughout the year, with the exception of the wet season (1 April to 15 May and 1 November to 15 December). The itinerary includes two nights at Sasakwa Lodge as well as two nights at Faru Faru Lodge. Departing from Sasakwa Lodge a maximum of six riders will be accompanied by two seasoned guides. The journey will take you through the vast, game-rich plains of the Grumeti Reserve where up close and personal sightings and magnificent wildlife encounters await. Hot air balloon safaris are also available. Age limit is 14 years (for younger riders we can discuss riding options based on experience). A selection of riding gear is available at the Equestrian Center (hard hats, riding boots, chaps etc.) but correct sizes are not guaranteed.

 

Itinerary:

DAY 1: Arrive at Sasakwa airstrip, be welcomed by your experienced guide and transferred to the nearby Sasakwa lodge. Check-in and enjoy a brief tour of the Equestrian Centre to meet the team and the horses. Take a short plains ride to familiarize yourself with your equine partner. Spend the night in ultimate safari comfort at Sasakwa Lodge.

Day 2: Settle into the saddle and depart from Sasakwa Lodge for a morning ride across the plains to Faru Faru Lodge. This is a four to five hour ride with a short stop to rest the horses, stretch your legs and enjoy refreshments.

As a skilled equestrian you’ll ride through grasslands and open savannah before reaching the spectacular tree-lined Grumeti River. You’ll arrive at Faru Faru Lodge for a sumptuous lunch and siesta before deciding on an afternoon activity: your choice of a gentle horse ride, a swim in the infinity-edge pools, spa treatments or a game drive. Enjoy overnighting in a contemporary suite that takes its design cues from nature.

Day 3: Go on a morning ride along the banks of the Grumeti River - this is a savannah and riverine area that should be explored at leisure. Your guides will point out for the varied bird life, plains game and any predators before returning to Faru Faru for lunch and afternoon activities. Savor an innovative dinner accompanied by fine wine before retiring for the evening.

Day 4: This is an exciting days riding as you wind your way back to Sasakwa Lodge following the twists and turns of the Grumeti River and then out onto the plains. You’ll arrive at around midday. The afternoon is spent at  leisure, again with a choice of afternoon activities. The last evening is spent relaxing at the Manor House and your secluded cottage with its turn-of-the-century style.

Day 5: The horses are rested on this morning and guests have the option to participate in any of the other morning game activities on offer. After breakfast you’ll be driven to the airstrip and bid a fond farewell

before departing to your onward destination.
