Day 4 Riding north-west towards Longido mountain. The pace is a bit slower due to the thick bush and the heat. Later, you once again have the opportunity to relax with our very special canvas baths or an open air shower, before partaking in the East African 'sundowner' custom and enjoying the cook's dinner by our large campfire on the sandy riverbed. Perched high above the surrounding area Equestrian Safaris' twin hills camp has a great view northwards to Mount Longido, westwards to Mts. We ride to Matissiwe Escarpment, descending the 300 foot high escarpment leading our horses, then we ride south across the grass covered valley.
Lunch is at a seasonal water hole.
An excellent area in which to canter up long slopes to enjoy the fantastic views, particularly south towards Mt. Monduli. The Matissiwe valley is visited by many giraffe that prefer the acacia woods here. In the evening we camp close to the escarpment wall. Day 7 Return ride to base. We ascend Meru mountain through ravines and thickets to arrive back at Uto Farm late in the afternoon, in time to enjoy afternoon tea.
