The exciting cross-country day is this year on Sunday 2nd May (a change to the normal Saturday), with the final show jumping phase on the Bank Holiday Monday.  We are always delighted to see existing and new clients there to discuss their safaris, riding and holidays in either Africa or India.

As usual our stand will be very near to the central arena and very close to the event scoreboard and main facilities. Our stand number is 85, located on the north/south roadway to the east side of the main arena.

Nicky, Hashim and others from the office here, all of whom have travelled extensively in the last few months to bring you the latest from both Africa and India, will be available to talk about holidays and safaris (whether riding or not!) to India, Sri Lanka, Bhutan and all the countries we feature in Africa, including Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Mozambique, Namibia and South Africa as well as the Indian Ocean Islands and Madagascar. We will also be able to discuss our new Northern Africa/Middle East portfolio, including Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Syria, Jordan and Libya.

Riding On The Kenyan Plains - Equine Exhilaration!

For a taste of riding in Kenya here is a short video made by our great friends at Riding Wild (part of SCC) based at Borana, a ranch in the northern Laikipia region of Kenya’s great central plateau. We often include this sort of riding, which is adventurous yet very high quality, as part of an overall safari/holiday that is completely tailored to each participant’s personal requirements, something we are renowned for getting “just right”!
