Overview

Ride through Nairobi’s forests and plains on a horseback adventure

Set off from one of Nairobi’s leafy equestrian stables and follow winding trails through indigenous forest before opening onto plains with views toward the Ngong Hills. Choose a short one-hour lesson for beginners, a longer forest trail ride, or a picnic or sundowner ride that ends with a home-cooked meal or drinks in the open air.

Suitable for complete beginners and experienced riders alike, in groups or as a couple. Customize your ride flexibly: book a simple hour in the arena or a half-day picnic ride into the plains. Message our local booking managers on WhatsApp for a free consultation to tailor your horse riding experience.

About

Discover Nairobi’s Forests and the Legacy of Kenya’s Equestrian Culture

Nairobi’s mild highland climate and quiet forest suburbs have made it one of East Africa’s best-known destinations for horseback riding, with several well-established stables scattered across the city, from Karen and Langata to Limuru and Muthaiga.

Rides typically wind through indigenous forest and out toward open plains, where the Ngong Hills rise against the horizon and the Great Rift Valley opens up beyond. Well-trained horses, some bred locally to international standards, make the experience approachable even for first-time riders.

Ideal for families, couples, and riders of all levels, these outings can be paired with a forest breakfast, a sundowner with drinks, or a countryside picnic, turning a simple ride into a full morning or evening out in Nairobi’s green suburbs.

I just completed a 22-day trip through Madagascar, including Morondaba, Tsingy, Belo Sur, Ifaty, Ranohira, Ranomafana, and the Pangalanes Channel, among other places. The overall experience was good, except for a minor initial disagreement regarding the agreed-upon price and some unexpected hotel changes. Communication with them is always quick and easy, and the payment method is secure. A special mention goes to our driver and guide, Antsa, a true gem. Besides being an excellent driver, he was always kind, friendly, helpful, and committed to making everything easier.

The tour was interesting, and the driver was good. However, we feel the travel agency should have informed us in advance about the guides who wait at the park entrances and accompany tourists to geysers and waterfalls. The booking confirmation made no mention of this at all; it only stated that park entrance fees, food, and drinks were not included. When we have no idea how much the guide’s services will cost, we don't know how much cash to bring, since credit cards aren't accepted in places like that.
