7-Days of Horseback Adventures, Ranch Life & Astana Exploration

Amazing horses, delicious food, beautiful nature and English speaking family

I stayed at the Taiburyldyn Shabysy Ranch with two of my friends for 5 days and then we had a 5 day horse trek in Burabay National park. At the ranch we combined horse riding days with city outings. The accommodations are clean and comfortable. You can tell that the horses are loved and cared for. My friends are all advanced riders, me not so much, but we were able to start our adventure right away! The weather was lovely so we had two rides a day for three days, we alternated horses on each ride, so they could rest. The owner accompanied us on most rides. She is thoughtful, attentive and funny. We went with her on guided tours to “the old city” and “the new city”. On another day we went to museums with a different member of the ranch. The food at the ranch is delicious and plentiful! For the last five days of our stay we went with their team to a guided horse riding trek in Burabay National Park where we rode for 6 hours a day and stayed at a local and modern farmhouse. We had so much fun! I want to thank Alima for being such an amazing host and for keeping such beautiful and smart horses! I recommend this tour to anyone who loves beautiful sights, tasty food and good company! Thank you guys so much for the unbelievable adventure!

The Old City Tour

Astana the Old City

We had an enriching experience on The Old City Tour in Astana with our family. The tour offered a fascinating glimpse into the city's history, taking us beyond its modern, futuristic architecture and into its cultural heart. Our guide was incredibly informative and made the journey through Astana’s old city come alive with stories and historical context. We explored the traditional and Soviet-era buildings, which provided a contrast to the city's iconic contemporary structures. Visiting landmarks like the Old Mosque and the Central Concert Hall gave us a deeper understanding of Astana’s roots and its development over the years. One of the highlights of the tour was seeing the blend of cultures in the old city – a reflection of Kazakhstan’s rich history and diversity. The slower pace of the tour allowed us to really appreciate the details, with plenty of time to stop, take photos, and explore the local area. The tour also included a visit to local markets and charming streets, where we got a sense of daily life in the city and even had the chance to interact with locals. It was a great experience for our family, providing a perfect mix of history, culture, and personal interaction. Overall, The Old City Tour in Astana was a memorable way to explore the deeper, more traditional side of the city. It was well-paced, informative, and gave us a new appreciation for Astana's fascinating history and cultural evolution. We highly recommend it to anyone looking to experience a different, more historical side of Kazakhstan’s capital.
