About Zambian Horseback Safaris
Zambian Horseback Safaris runs multi-day riding safaris on the Zambezi floodplains upstream of Livingstone, in and around the Simalaha Wildlife Conservancy. Unlike short lodge trails, these are immersive expeditions where guests spend days in the saddle crossing vast, largely predator-free wilderness among giraffe, zebra, wildebeest and abundant birdlife.
The trips are aimed squarely at capable riders, since the terrain and open plains reward a confident, faster pace across long distances. A typical safari begins with a boat journey up the Zambezi before the riding starts, and itineraries range from a few nights to week-long adventures that combine horseback exploration with time at Victoria Falls.
Guiding, well-schooled horses and remote camp logistics are handled by the operator, letting riders focus on the experience of covering big country on horseback. For travellers who see the standard Livingstone day tour as too tame, this is one of the few outfits offering a genuine wilderness riding safari from the Zambian side of the Falls.
