Victoria Falls Horse Safari

Surrounded by National Park and Game area Victoria Falls allows access to rugged and varied riding country, providing a superb wilderness experience for all levels of rider. You may track elephant, buffalo and other game to the shady banks of the Zambezi River, or ride within feet of shy impala or kudu.
