What People Are Saying About Us
This was a perfect way to top off a relaxing trip in Vic Falls. This isn’t a safari ride, but it is a wonderful glimpse into life outside of the town. You ride through the bush and farmlands in an authentic Zimbabwean experience – complete with donkeys, goats, chickens, and stunning birdsong. Lisa and her team are kind, knowledgeable, and friendly. They genuinely care about people and horses, and safety is a priority. Riding out, you know you are in good hands (and hooves). I loved it so much I went back again before I had to fly home, and it will definitely be on my list of “to-dos” when I visit Victoria Falls
