Internships in Nanyuki, Kenya

Nestled in the beautiful Laikipia region of Kenya, this exclusive working holiday invites you to join our 2024 launch dates! Immerse yourself in the behind-the-scenes of life at a mobile camp, riding amongst big game in a private 14000-acre reserve. Teeming with wildlife, from elephants to rare Northern species such as Grevy’s Zebra, Greater Kudus, and Jackson’s Hartebeest, you will learn about conservation whilst engaging in the daily management of a string of safari horses. This equestrian working holiday in Kenya is based at Kellard Safaris’ and exclusive to African Horse Safaris. It is an excellent way to explore Kenya without spending as much as you would on luxury lodges or mobile safaris. But you do need to be willing to get stuck in and get your hands dirty! You will be riding across indescribable landscapes, taking part in flatwork and jumping lessons, and learning about life in the bush. Your home will consist of an authentic tented camp with bush showers, where you will fall asleep to the roar of lions. Intermediate plus and advanced riders accepted.
