Places for a horse ride safari in Tanzania.

Arusha National park.
While on a horse safari in Arusha national park you will get the opportunity to see wild animal species such as the black and white colobus monkey, flamingo, and numerous birds. There are elephants, and it’s worth it to see them from a horseback.

Beginning at Ngongongare Gate, the day ride takes you through the park’s lower areas for exploration. The primary goal is to see the scenery and wildlife while riding a horse, and because of the terrain and dense forest, the riding pace will be somewhat leisurely. You will cross the Little Serengeti on the route, where you can typically see antelope, buffalo, giraffes, and zebras.

Serengeti national park
Explores the Serengeti and some parts of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area from horseback. Riding in some of the most pristine regions of the Serengeti is an amazing opportunity to indulge your sense of adventure and get genuinely off the beaten path.

Catch a glimpse of the zebra and wildebeest migration as they return to the Serengeti’s grasslands from the Maasai Mara. Because the herds’ movements depend on rainfall, if the surrounding area is dry, you should be ready to drive to the migration site. Elephants, zebras, giraffes, and plenty of plains game are likely to be encountered by you. If you’re lucky, you might even spot some big cats. A professional, experienced guide who is well-versed in Tanzania’s flora and fauna will be your tour guide.

Horseback safaris in Serengeti National Park

Lake Natron.
Millions of flamingos live in the pink soda lake, which is located in the Great Rift Valley to the north of the Ngorongoro Conservation area. The region seems even more breathtaking when traversed from the traditional Masai bomas across wide plains teeming with wildlife.

For some animals, this extremely alkaline lake means death because it calcifies and mummifies animals that are not adapted to it. However, there are more than two million pink flamingos in the lake. Oldonyo Lengai, the only active volcano in Africa, adorns the Natron (Mountain of God).

Kilimanjaro National Park.
Discover some of the planet’s remaining authentic wildernesses as you join a zebra herd that is charging, sneak up on an elephant that is chewing, or just stare in awe at a towering giraffe.

This is your chance to explore the region between Mount Meru and Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak. We will ride wherever the terrain allows, from the “little Serengeti” in Arusha National Park through Maasai territory to the boundaries of Kilimanjaro National Park.

WMA (wildlife management areas).
These are Tanzanian protected areas under village community ownership and management. Due to their location next to Tanzania national parks, these WMAs are home to some incredible wild creatures.

In some of these WMAs, safaris involving horses are available. Some of the WMAs where horse safari can be conducted are Enduimet WMA, Singita Grumeti game reserve, and even loliondo game-controlled area.
