Great Plains Conservation opens first permanent stables in the Maasai Mara
By Great Plains ConservationGreat Plains Conservation is delighted to announce the opening of the first permanent riding stables in Kenya's Maasai Mara.

Ride Kenya - Mara is a stand-alone riding stable of 16 horses, offering morning or afternoon rides in the wildlife-rich Maasai Mara and exclusive Mara Conservancies for any competent horse rider (min. age 14+, max. weight 95kgs, max. group size of 8 riders) staying in any camp. The stables are located in the very heart of these protected areas, on the border of the Maasai Mara National Reserve and the Olare Motorogi Conservancy, approximately 1.5kms away from Great Plains Conservation’s Mara Expedition Camp and 2kms from Mara Plains Camp.
The very experienced head guides of Ali Mundy and Martin Dodwell have migrated north from spending the last 12 years in the Grumeti Reserves of Tanzania to the new Ride Kenya - Mara stables, together with all of their top-condition horses and equipment that they know so well; this some six months before the great zebra and wildebeest migration will do the same in their millions on their annual search for fresh pasture.
