Having grown up in Zimbabwe I am more than excited to share the beauty of my country with you! It's an added bonus that I get to do so from horseback! I grew up on a farm here in Zimbabwe and have spent a lot of my time in the bush on the back of a horse, this is where I learned my passion for wildlife and Zimbabwe which has been with me from a very young age. I spent a few years overseas in various countries managing and looking after horses of different disciplines, this was a great experience, however there is nothing more satisfying than being able to do what I love from my home country. I look forward to helping you book your perfect holiday!
