Ride out and share a ridge top with families of zebra as the sunrise paints the sky behind the mountain. Or arrive at a cattle boma (corral) in time to catch the early morning milking done in the traditional style. Then come back to camp for a leisurely breakfast, before mounting up again, packed lunches in saddle bags, to head off towards the Ewaso Nyiro River or the falls of the Suguroi for a picnic lunch.

Alternatively have a lie in, relax in camp, or let a friendly, eccentric camel take you for a game-viewing walk perched up where you can spot everything that moves and fully appreciate the magnificent vistas. Then get your horses for an evening ride as the heat slips out of the day and vivid colours make magic of the land.

Riding camels.

Every second day the camp is packed up and put on the backs of our cavalcade of camels, who take it to the next scenic site which is to become camp for two nights. On these days the riders leave camp after breakfast, taking a picnic lunch, and arrive in the new camp in time for tea and cake at about 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
