7 Days Horse Riding Conservation Mission
WildeHorse is an immersive conservation experience set within a 50,000-acre Zimbabwean wilderness actively being restored into a thriving Big 5 reserve. This is not a fixed itinerary program – each day is shaped by your interests, the movement of wildlife, and the rhythm of the bush. Guests explore vast, untamed landscapes on horseback, ride alongside a herd of over 40 horses, and experience wildlife encounters with elephant, buffalo, giraffe, hippo, and plains game moving freely across the reserve.
Beyond riding, participants engage directly in conservation work including wildlife tracking, camera trap monitoring, species counts, habitat restoration, and anti-poaching awareness. You may also join horse training, groundwork, and care, or experience the unique opportunity to swim with horses in natural water. The program extends into sustainable land use and community connection, with opportunities to assist in farming activities, cattle movements, and visits to local schools and clinics that are directly supported by conservation tourism. Evenings bring stargazing under vast African skies, bush walks to ancient sites, and time spent immersed in the sounds of the wild.
