SAFARIS ON HORSEBACK: A

Unique Approach To Experience The Zimbabwean Wild

Going for a safari on horseback in Zimbabwe provides the ultimate thrill! Using professionally trained and excellent safari horses, a unique group of safaris on horseback operators (all family owned) offer some of the best rides on this planet. This niche market tourism activity is established and continues to spread across Zimbabwe.

Safari on horseback is special for its vintage-style approach to viewing animals, and its ability to afford rides through vast areas of pristine bush, across the vast and open, breathtaking savanna plains. This type of safari allows one to experience some of Africa’s wildlife rich destinations. The use of horses is an unintrusive way of experiencing all that Africa has to offer in terms of wildlife.

The main concentration areas for safari on horseback are the Zambezi National Park, Hwange National Park and Mana Pools National Park. Setting foot on these destinations opens tourists to discover what has been described by one visitor as “great rides, awesome guides, impressive scenery and wonderful horses”.

Some of the leading safari on horseback companies in Zimbabwe include Zambezi Horse Trails, Ride Zimbabwe (Varden Safaris) and Hwange Horseback Safaris. These seasoned operators know the wild side of Zimbabwe and have the experience and expertise to fashion out the ultimate safari on horseback of a lifetime.

Zimbabwe still retains the true essence of Africa, from the wondrous Victoria Falls to the elephantdominated Hwange National Park and the sunset distinguished Mana Pools. Indeed, tourists can explore and discover diversity.

Going on one of these great riding adventures, tourists are assured of topclass-fit safari horses, quality tack, personal attention, top-notch guiding, and some of the best riding you will ever experience on earth.

As global tourism businesses increase their appreciation of environmental awareness, here in Zimbabwe, we are even doing it better. Notable in this line of work is Robin Pope Safaris, established in 1986 and offering exclusive safari lodges, safari houses and private walking safaris in Zimbabwe, Malawi and Zambia.
