Richard and Tara Bonham do not live at Ol Donyo Wuas but have their home not far from the lodge. Most of their time is spent running the Maasailand Preservation Trust projects which are concentrated on Mbirikani Group Ranch. Nicola Young; Nicola was born in Hong Kong and largely brought up in England. Nicola started riding at the age of six. She rode at pony club and school level, and then moved on to playing competitive polo. Nicola has BHS training, including first aid, stable management, riding instruction and horse training. She has also worked at eventing yards and groomed for professional polo teams. She graduated with a degree in Swahili and African Studies, from London University. Patrick Stanton; Patrick was born in the US, where he developed a passion for horses and the wilderness. At fifteen years old, he decided to make horses his life. He apprenticed as a farrier whilst training horses on the side. After a brief stint as a rodeo rider he decided to play polo. He studied at the University of Connecticut, where he played varsity polo whilst studying anthropology, archaeology and equine studies. After graduating, he went to UK to play polo before going to Australia, where he worked on a cattle station, mustering cattle and breaking-in the brumbies (wild horses) that roamed freely in the hills around the ranch. From there he joined Nicola in New Zealand, where they broke and trained horses and took out guided rides. After that, they both moved to Australia to run a horseback holiday company, before settling in Kenya. Patrick and Nicola are both based permanently at Ol Donyo Wuas, in the Chyulu Hills. |
Lucia van der Post, Financial Times: "So go to Ol Donyo Wuas for something different, something a little off the beaten track." |
