Arusha · Experience
Among the giraffe, from the saddle
Dolly Wildlife Estate is a private estate outside Arusha with resident plains game. On horseback the animals allow you far closer than any vehicle, and the pace of the morning is theirs rather than yours.
What it is
A ride across a private estate where giraffe, zebra and antelope live unfenced from the horses. Because the animals are accustomed to riders, they carry on browsing as you pass, which is an experience no vehicle can offer.
Where
Dolly Wildlife Estate lies outside Arusha, within reach of the town for a morning or an afternoon.
Who it suits
Riders of any standard. Ask us and we will match the ride to your experience, from a gentle walk for a first-timer to a longer ride for the confident.
Fitting it in
An arrival or departure day, or a free morning in Arusha. It pairs naturally with Lake Duluti or the coffee tour for a full day.
