5.00Picked up from my hotel shortly after 6am. Definitely the right time of day to ride. Lisa was friendly, hugely informative and loves her animals. Horses were in super condition with friendly temperaments. The ride itself couldn't have been better. A really interesting insight into the lives of local people, their animals and environment with curious cattle, donkeys and goats approaching us. We were approached several times by locals who wanted to discuss animals with Lisa and it was obvious that she was held in high regard by her community. Whilst we enjoyed long trots and several canters I have no qualms in recommending riding with Wild Bhiza Stables to experienced and novice riders alike. This will forever remain one of my favorite riding adventures. Thanks Lisa!
Amazing Experience!!

5.00From the very first moment, everything was perfect. I was picked up directly from my hotel, and during the drive to Chisuma, I was given fascinating insights into local life and the surrounding villages. Once there, I met the most adorable horses — calm, gentle, and extremely well cared for. They are perfectly suited for all riding levels. The ride is done in small groups (a maximum of four riders), which makes the experience intimate and enjoyable. For 2.5 hours, we rode through plantations and wandered through the typical village of Chisuma in total immersion — something that would be impossible to experience by car. Far from the touristy bustle of Victoria Falls, this outing gives you a true feeling of Zimbabwean rural life, in all its gentleness. Safety is clearly a top priority for the team — everything is thought through so that everyone feels comfortable and confident. And the welcome… what can I say — the owner is incredibly kind, attentive, and warm-hearted. The morning ended with a delicious local breakfast, enjoyed in the golden light of sunrise before heading back. A heartfelt thank you for this timeless moment. If you’re looking for something genuine, human, and deeply moving, don’t miss Wild Bhiza Stables. A rare gem.

5.00Just returned from our riding tour. We are still overwhelmed from this amazing experience!! It was such a warm welcome and we felt safe and secure the whole time. Lisa and Amy and the entire staff made made this adventure unforgettable for us! Our tour went through the communities around the stables. We immersed ourselves into nature and local surroundings. A little break in between with snacks and drinks at the gorge with a stunning view made the morning just more perfect! All the animals at the farm are treated well and Amy and Lisa having a heart of gold! Thank you for this wonderful morning and keep your wonderful work going! Sabine (Mom😉) and Philipp

5.00What a lovely way to spend the morning. A really nice way to see the local way of life in the villages. Lisa and Amie were super friendly and answered all our questions about life in Zimbabwe. The horses were so well treated and we all felt safe (me, my wife and son 8 years old). I would highly recommend this as an activity for anyone visiting.

5.00The best way to experience rural communities and farmlands in Africa. I have been riding at Wild Bhiza stables since June 2024, I used to come here on my off days as I worked at a hotel in town. The stables are well kept and in such a serene, peaceful location. The horses (all farm animals on the property actually) are so loved and very well taken care of. The staff are kind and attentive. Lisa, her gentle horses and her supportive staff helped me gain my confidence back after a fall I had a few years ago. I loved my time here so much that I quit my hotel job and now I get to work with and ride horses everyday!
The BEST day! 🐴

5.00The fascinating, charming and engaging Lisa collected me at dawn from my downtown Vic Falls hotel, and drove 30 mins into the bush. I enjoyed an absolutely beautiful morning ride out with her and her experienced groom, and into the Bush, amongst the various vibrant rural communities as they all came to life as the day dawned. A brilliant experience, and one that made my visit to Vic Falls very special.
