Katabu and the Fifth Chukker Polo Club

The Fifth Chukker Polo Club in Katabu combines polo with a range of outdoor activities. When planning your stay, it is worth distinguishing between the facilities, outdoor activities and event formats. This will help you first decide whether your trip will be shaped more by polo, an outdoor activity or a special bike polo format.

Polo and Facilities

The Fifth Chukker Polo Club has three professional polo fields and 300 stables; this does not specify the location of these facilities within Katabu. The Fifth Chukker resort covers 3,000 hectares. The equestrian facilities are available for private polo tournaments and sponsored events; the club also hosts two major polo tournaments each year. These are different occasions to consider when planning your trip: check the current dates if you plan to attend a tournament, and arrange private or sponsored events directly with the club. The figures refer to different levels: three polo fields and 300 stables are specific club facilities, while 3,000 hectares refers to the size of the resort described by Fifth Chukker.

Mountain Biking and Trekking

The club offers guests mountain bikes, which they can ride around the polo fields. Another option is the trekking tour to Kangimi Dam, which offers a way to explore the resort. The club also has hiking and horse-trekking trails in Kangimi. The activities differ in both mode of travel and destination: mountain biking around the polo fields, trekking to Kangimi Dam, or hiking and horse-trekking trails in Kangimi. This makes it easier to choose between a cycling activity, a trekking tour with a set destination, or trails for hiking or horse trekking.

Bike Polo, Quad Bikes and Activities for Children

The Fifth Chukker Polo Academy offers bike polo experiences for private or corporate events, which can be tailored to individual needs. These include one-day training sessions, weekend or week-long training camps, and practice and challenge sessions. The options range from a single training session to a weekend or week-long training camp. Bike polo is distinct from mountain biking around the polo fields: it is offered as a separate event format. Check availability and booking terms directly with the Academy.

Quad bikes are available to rent from the club. Before your trip, confirm directly with the club whether quad bikes are currently available to rent for your travel dates. The club also offers children an introduction to horses and pony riding. If you plan to take part, check with the club in advance whether this activity is available during your visit and under what booking terms.
