Discover Katabu: Polo and Activities

The Fifth Chukker Polo Club in Katabu combines polo with other activities involving horses and outdoor exercise. The resort covers 3,000 hectares. This gives your stay a clear theme: you can make polo the focus or compare the different activities on offer. This can help you decide what kind of holiday you want and give your search for a holiday rental in Katabu a practical direction.

Polo and tournaments

The club has three professional polo fields and 300 stables. It hosts two major polo tournaments each year; its equestrian facilities are also available for private polo tournaments and sponsored events. If you want to plan your trip around one of the major tournaments, check the current event schedule directly with the club. This lets you plan your travel dates around a specific event.

By bike, on foot or on a trekking tour

The club offers guests mountain bikes for riding around the polo fields. Quad bikes are available to rent; if you are planning to use one, confirm current availability directly with the club. A trekking tour to Kangimi Dam is one way to explore the resort; check its current availability in advance as well. At Kangimi, hiking and horse-trekking trails are among the other activities available. The options differ in the type of activity and the location they focus on: mountain biking is specifically around the polo fields, while the trek to the dam is intended for exploring the resort. When choosing, consider whether cycling, a trekking tour, or trails on foot or horseback best fit your travel plans.

Bike polo and horse activities

The Fifth Chukker Polo Academy at the club offers bike polo experiences for private or corporate events. These include one-day training sessions, weekend or week-long training camps, and practice and challenge sessions. A one-day session differs from a weekend or week-long training camp mainly in duration; practice and challenge sessions provide additional options. Contact the club directly to confirm availability and booking conditions. Bike polo is a training activity offered for events, while mountain bikes are available for rides around the polo fields.

The club offers children an introduction to horses and pony riding. Before adding this activity to your family itinerary, ask the club directly in advance about participation arrangements and booking conditions.

Choose a holiday rental to suit your travel plans

When searching for a holiday rental in Katabu, it is worth starting with the kind of holiday you want. If you want to prioritise polo and the club’s activities, first check which dates and offerings suit your travel period; if you want to combine several types of activities, decide on your priorities before booking.
