Our Forest & Trail Rides take place in the Dagoretti forest at the foot of the famous Ngong Hills.
The routes vary according to ability of the riders and the season. There a great opportunity for long trots and canters, when the footing allows. Our guides set the pace, as they know the forest and footing by heart. Dry and rainy seasons evidently changes the footing. The forest is full of life especially on the weekends. We pass Masai herders grazing their livestock, kids playing and mamas collecting firewood. We often pass through a village to enter a beautiful open plain made for a good canter – if the footing allows.
Wildlife is sparse; however, we do run into Dik-dik, rarely Reedbuck and always find the divots and dens dug by the bush pigs that are nocturnal and extremely shy. Thrilling beyond, we had elephant passing through the forest recently.
We always take you with at least two guides to help. Very novice riders might be on a lead rope lead by a guide. Our guide ride with a first aid box in the saddlebag and every six month we have a professional first aid trainer teaching MALO staff.
You will meet either David – daily operations manager, Loki, Kiarie, Solomon, Kunywa, Simon, Gerald, or Henry when you come to the yard to fit helmet, sign indemnity and pay the difference. Either two of them will be waiting at the edge of the forest with the horses we have chosen for you to ride. You will have to share your weight, height and experience with us in order to match you to a horse.
