Equus Ethiopia has availability on two of its three day rides over the next two months, both to the unique Montane forest of Menegesha Suba, which is to be the second port of call for the Zara Yacob Trail, named after the 15th century Ethiopian emperor that protected the forest.

The trek will comprise two relatively fast days over the open
highlands, to and from the forest, and a slower paced ride in the old growth forest.

* 19, 20 and 21rst of April

&

* 16, 17 and 18th of May

We will be leaving from Equus’ base in Solulta and riding straight to the forest on the first day, over the open highlands, will spend one whole slower day enjoying the forest and its wildlife, before coming back by a different route to Solulta, visiting a horse market en route for the April ride, and the Born Free Foundation’s lion sanctuary in Menagesha for the May ride.
