Horse Guides

The renewed interest in Zimbabwe as a photographic safari destination is fueled in part by the unquestionable expertise of our charismatic Walking Guides whom by virtue of their qualification are legally entitled to guide by horse back.

Zimbabwean Horse Guides are renowned as being some of the best naturalists on the continent and no doubt this reputation is born of the most stringent and rigorous apprenticeship in Africa and of course its notorious accreditation process.

Zimbabwe has some of the most breathtakingly beautiful, wild and remote game rich regions anywhere in Africa so be sure to choose a horse riding safari that is best suited to your riding capabilities.
