Itinerary and highlights

Tanzania Horse Safaris offers a two hours horseback adventure, located just under an hour from Arusha,
Moshi, and Kilimanjaro International Airport, set on the scenic Dolly Wildlife Estate.

The ride takes place within
a fenced estate where people, wildlife, and horses live in harmony beneath the shadow of Mt. Meru—with
views of the majestic Mt. Kilimanjaro on clear days.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced rider, you’ll enjoy close-up encounters with wildlife
such as eland, zebra, wildebeest, kudu, bushbuck, impala, dik-dik, gazelle, and a dazzling variety of birdlife.

Experienced riders can embrace exhilarating gallops along open trails, while those with less experience can
explore at a slower pace, peaceful, meandering paths in and amongst the estate wildlife.

We offer morning and afternoon rides, all 2-hour rides. The morning rides departs at 0800AM & 1030AM, and
the afternoon ride departs at 1630PM.
