 With Cross Country International’s Masai Mara Ride

 

            Millbrook, NY—April 25, 2008—Cross Country International (CCI), world renowned provider of equestrian vacations, is excited to offer travelers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity experience Masai culture while riding through the beautiful Southern Kenya savannahs on CCI’s Masai Mara Ride.

You will experience the diverse African wildlife as you ride past grazing zebra, towers of giraffes, and migrating wildebeest while you explore the Acacia forest and the untouched areas of Maasailand. Exciting gallops through the open countryside will bring you to Njaknjiak Gorge, where you will pitch camp on the Olare Orok stream.  Here you will spend the final two days interacting with local Masai at the Acacia Camp, which is said to be the best game viewing area the Mara has to offer.

You will experience Masai culture side-by-side with the natives.  Enjoy cooling swims in natural rock pools and relaxing siestas beneath the shady trees if the Bardamat Hills. Sunset gives way to cool night travel by Land Cruiser, which will give you the chance to see nocturnal animals in their natural habitats.

“The best way to discover the Masai Mara is by horseback,” said Karen Lancaster, President of Cross Country International. “You’ll have access to trails and views that most travelers aren’t lucky enough to experience and a first-hand look at a culture which has remained untouched by western influence, making this vacation one of the most unique and memorable trips you’ll ever take.”
