Varden safaris

We believe in being active, getting out there, touching, smelling, and hearing the bush. We focus on riding and walking safaris. To us, there is nothing better than being out on a horse in the African Wilderness. Game drives are great, but once you have experienced wildlife from horseback it's hard to go back to the smelly bumpy jeep!

Primarily focusing on small group (min 2, max 8 guests) horse riding safaris, we have several riding safari options depending on your ability and length of time. Our rides are suitable for intermediate to advanced riders. We understand that riders in particular don’t like to be confined thus we offer bespoke itineraries to let the WALKING explorer in you get out ..TROTTING - CANTERING...!!!

Our Experienced Professional Guide, James Varden, ever enthusiastic about the bush, is ready to take you on horseback to view the graceful and powerful Verreaux’s Eagle, and a diversity of wildlife, such as giraffes, kudu, eland, zebra, bird life, and plant life. Ride Zimbabwe is truly a small and independently owned company, with James and Janine personally managing and running each safari.
