Ekalale Riding Safari and Tours was founded with a simple yet powerful mission: to help travelers experience the wild beauty of Kenya through the eyes of someone who calls it home. At the heart of this mission is John Ekalale, a Laikipia-born guide whose life has been shaped by horses, wildlife, and an unbreakable bond with the land.

With over 15 years of experience in the safari industry, John has worked with some of Kenya’s most respected safari companies — including Wilder Group, Offbeat safaris and Sosian. A KPSGA-certified guide, he brings not only professional expertise but also a personal passion for sharing the Kenya he knows and loves — the hidden valleys, the untamed trails, the rich cultures, and the incredible biodiversity.

At Ekalale Riding Safari and Tours, we offer:

• Horseback Safaris – immersive rides through wild landscapes
• Walking Safaris – slow-paced, intimate encounters with nature
• Game Drive Safaris – classic 4×4 adventures, perfect for wildlife viewing

Every experience is tailor-made, whether you’re dreaming of galloping across open plains, tracking elephants on foot, or watching a lion pride at sunset. Thanks to John’s deep local knowledge and wide-reaching network across Kenya, we’re able to design safaris that are both flexible and unforgettable — adapting to your interests, fitness level, and travel style.

More than just a safari company, we are a bridge — between guests and nature, between travelers and culture. John’s roots and relationships across Kenya allow us to offer not just a tour, but a journey. One that respects the land, supports local communities, and leaves you with stories that last a lifetime.
