★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 29 reviews · from $120Best value

Ride through Dolly Wildlife Estate, about 30 minutes from Arusha, on a two-hour horseback safari with Kaskazi Horse Safaris. Beginners follow quiet estate tracks near zebra, wildebeest, and antelope, while experienced riders may move at faster gaits. Morning and afternoon departures run for groups of up to eight.

“Really nice and beautiful horse raid, seeing a beautiful views, mt meru, wild animals for example zepras and antilopes. Horse riding it's okay even for the beginners. Evening time was nice, when wasnt too hot anymore, so i recomended maybe in the morning or then 4.30 ride, so also for the horses it's better.”
