Stay on the Farm Breaks - Riding Tuition - Equestrian Safaris

Stay with us at Altitude

Breaks away from it all on the farm.

Stay with us at Altitude Farm, and experience everything we have to offer. Farmhouse breakfasts and simple family food- cooked well. Taste our homemade and local produce.

Enjoy farm activities or forest walks, community cycling, and horseriding. Let others in your group be active whilst you relax... simply reading in a quiet part of the garden and admiring the beautiful mountain skyline that looks over our home. Book a massage or have a swim in our pool...

Many stay with us whilst a family member does the 3-day hike up Mount Kenya. We are ideally placed between both Narumoru and Sirimon Mount Kenya park gates. Some of us prefer to just admire it from our beds, and allow the serious hiker(s) to join us and have a good night's sleep, having completed their own trip.

Take a day trip to the many conservancies with the big five literally on our doorstep; Including the famous Ol Pejeta, but equally amazing Solio (home of 200 rhinos) Sanager, and Lloldaiga conservancies. Sample some of the very good eateries on the way into and within Nanyuki town nearby. Take a drive out into the African bush or up our mountain for a picnic by car or foot.

We are more than happy to tailor these farm stay adventures to suit you, pleasing every member of your family or group.

Holidays for your dog!
Dog Holidays
Totally unique and very special, we become your dogs' aunt and uncle whilst you are away so that they, too, can have a holiday. Your dogs will live exclusively with us - we do not put them in kennels (unless that's what you wish!) and we don't take more than three at a time alongside our own three dogs. Click here for more information...

Our Area of Kenya

We have a wonderful farmstay home in the foothills of Mount Kenya. Beyond our stables and our fields, and above the forest ridge, our skyline is dominated by the beautiful mountain, which calls us to explore it. Our passion is to do this on horseback, of course! This is truly a magical place to live and from here we run Everything Altitude - offering horse-riding tuition, adventures on horseback, and a comfortable and welcoming farmstay for the horse-loving adventurer.

We are on the edge of the Mount Kenya National Park, and at the southern end of the famous Laikipia Plateau, with its patchwork of private and community-based wildlife sanctuaries which support phenomenal wildlife densities, second only to the Masai Mara. Day trips from our home to the wonderful nearby conservancies of Ol Pejeta, Solio, Sangare, and Lloldaigas are easily arranged, and we collaborate with many of these conservancies - our longtime friends and partners in adventure - so that our more experienced Everything Altitude riders can enjoy riding out to the Big Five on horseback!

Our small upcountry town of Nanyuki has a number of cafés and restaurants, some nice swimming pools, and a great secondhand clothes market - the mitumba - all only a 25 minute drive heading northwards from our farm.

Our Family, Staff and Horses

John and Wizzy are partners in Everything Altitude, and along with John's two boys, Mahon and Allan, will be your hosts on the farm. Their combined knowledge of all things horse, and their passion for Laikipia’s landscape and wildlife, is simply huge. Whatever you choose from Everything Altitude, they, and their small but essential team, will ensure it will be an unforgettable experience.
