About this experience
Amazing opportunity to view and hand-feed dozens of ostriches, and if the weather is good, you can even take an ostrich ride! See boasting two types of ostriches, Maasai and Somali, you will not only get to tour the farm but you can also ride them too. It is fun, especially for the courageous ones. It also gives a lovely picture opportunity.
The tour of the farm takes almost half an hour depending on how inquisitive you are and what picture opportunities you will get out of your tour. It is very interesting seeing ostriches in different stages of growth and sizes
