All riding tours in Tanzania are conducted in private reserves as the national parks do not allow horses or riding them within its boundaries.
For horse lovers, the advantages of isolation and riding immersion in private conservancies outweigh the convenience of jeep safaris in public parks.

Most riding stables conduct their own assessment and questionnaires before a rider takes out a horse.
