Horse Riding Victoria Falls with stunning private accommodation

Looking to stay in Victoria Falls & Horse Ride

Join our horses and us at Wild Bhiza for one day or more. Using natural horsemanship skills, we give you a unique opportunity to get to know our horses, bond with them, and feel your confidence and enjoyment improve and grow. Then, put that bonding and newfound confidence into practice as you ride, explore the bush and villages, and undertake rides with greater levels of challenge. We can tailor a package to suit, but you might typically mix your time, spend the mornings with the horses and afternoons back at your accommodation to explore the wonders of Victoria Falls, or stay and ride in the community homelands.

A typical day:

We have the thing if you’re looking for a horse ride that’s truly unlike any other. Our Wild Bhiza stables are nestled in Chisuma, an unspoilt rural village 25km east of Victoria Falls. Perched on the escarpment of the Mighty Zambezi River, Chisuma is inhabited by 3000 – 4000 local villagers from different tribes who have been living there for generations. The diversity of tribes within the area provides the potential to develop Chisuma into a food basket for hotels and lodges within Victoria Falls—and what better way to get there than on horseback?

Early morning rides through the Community —and with good reason! Time to pet the goat as he leaps high in the air as they run alongside you. Know the feeling of a donkey’s tail whipping behind you or the companionship of their quiet presence on your shoulder. Watch dung beetles enjoying the evidence of elephants passing through. It’s an experience you won’t soon forget!

The name ‘Chisuma’ is derived from an indigenous fruit tree bearing a sweet taste familiar in the area; elders say it means a very big “chi“ tree of that species (called unsuma).

Our Accommodation In the Homelands – (OPENING 2024)

If you love people, Africa is the place for you! There are so many different cultures and people to meet. If you love animals, they’re everywhere. Minerals? Flowers? Trees? Panoramic views? You can have them all!

Africa is a warm and welcoming heart that beats to its own rhythm. Enter the world of the traditional people of rural Zimbabwe—an experience that gives you a greater understanding of how the local community lives. Being in a local Zimbabwean village is an eye-opening experience, providing insight into the old ways of the Zimbabwean people, essentially taking you back in time. Most rural Zimbabwean folk are subsistence farmers, so they have little interaction with urban centres apart from if they want to sell surplus produce. Villagers interact more with each other than with the outside world.

In this quiet rural countryside is Chisuma Village, where you meet the local inhabitants, go through introductions and talk about their culture, customs, history and daily lives. You will be shown how their homestead is set up.

The camping on the overnight at Banko Farm, Chisuma, a homestead and stables located 25 km from Victoria Falls in the village community homelands. It is not a luxury homestead but rather a comfortable traditional homestead. Everyone is involved with the daily chores of the camp and cooking.

Banko Farm has a traditional homestead with camping beds and bedding already made for you. Other amenities include a water basin filled with hot water for you each morning, a lantern, a bedside table and hand towels. Also, there is an outside toilet and a hot shower for convenience!
