France | Loire valley castle tour
The Loire Valley’s châteaux are grand, carefully preserved estates with intricate stonework, sweeping staircases and beautifully manicured gardens. Riding between them feels like moving through centuries of French history, each château revealing its own character and charm.
What makes this ride special is that not only do you experience French châteaux on horseback, but you get 6 guided visits around the most iconic and spend your nights sleeping within them and equally impressive manor houses & mansions.
French hospitality is some of the finest in the world and this ride features no exception. Not only do you get to sleep in magnificent accommodation, you’ll be served gourmet meals everyday and get the chance to ride one horse in an incredible herd of Franches-Montagnes, many born at home.
This journey blends refined French hospitality with truly memorable hours in the saddle — a riding holiday designed for those who love culture, comfort and exceptional horses in equal measure. Find out more.
Kenya | Masai mara safari
The only thing better than experiencing a safari on horseback, is experiencing a safari on horseback with a luxurious and spacious tented mobile camp that follows your journey.
The Masai Mara is Kenya’s iconic game reserve and the stage for the breath taking Great Migration. Here, the wild unfolds around you and everyday brings a new exciting encounter with animals such as Zebras, Lions, Elephants, Giraffes and more.
On top of the opportunities to view game from horseback, an experience which never gets old, there are inclusive Land Rover game drives available which usually offer a better chance for photos and videos.
This is where adventure meets style. Where the riding offers a chance to become one with the wildlife and the hospitality of the mobile camp allows you to relax and dine in style.
If you’re ready for not just a ride, but a truly outstanding luxury journey through the wild, you can find more information here.
