Leaving the stables and lodge behind, an unforgettable journey set off through wide open plains riding over a varied terrain changing from soft, sandy, stretched open fields, to rockier mountain trails, through dry riverbeds, under social weavers nests and around camelthorn trees.
The experienced guide will eagerly tell more about the environment, fauna and flora. Riders are almost guaranteed to come across a herd or two of grazing Oryx, springbok, or Zebra and some varieties of smaller carnivores, such as Jackal and bat-eared foxes.
Riding takes place at a comfortable pace so that everyone feels comfortable. Slower riders can hang back while more experienced riders go for long stretched-out gallops over grassy plains while winding the way towards the tented Camp, where refreshments await for a truly remarkable sundowner with magnificent views. After watching the sunset over the majestic mountains it’s time to kick off the boots, relax and enjoy the Namibian night skies. While Dinner gets ready on the campfire true Namibian style a refreshing shower awaits.
Dinner is served next to the crackling fire whilst conversation is sure to revert to the days riding. Then it’s time to retire to the comfortable tent or even a stretcher outside, for those who prefer to sleep out in nature under starry skies to get some rest before the next day’s riding.
Riders will wake up the next morning to the smell of coffee brewing and bacon and eggs cooking over an open fire while watching the horses being prepared for the next stretch of riding. After a hearty breakfast, it is time to stretch the legs once again and set off on horses who eagerly await the rest of the adventure.

EleCollection
Our Mission
Ele-Collection is a plastic recovery company based in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. We remove plastic waste from natural environments to protect wildlife, restore ecosystems, and support local communities. Through Plazrok technology, the first process of its kind in Africa, collected plastic is transformed into durable construction aggregate, replacing stone and sand in concrete, and locking plastic away for good.
Our Impact
Our contribution funded the recovery of 9.5 tonnes of plastic from the environmentally sensitive areas surrounding Victoria Falls — collected at a rate of $1,000 per tonne. That is the equivalent of 950,000 plastic bottles (based on a standard 500ml PET bottle weight of 10g) and 1,266,667 plastic bags (based on an average bag weight of 7.5g) — items that would otherwise have remained in waterways, wildlife habitats, and the city dump. Plastic that isn’t collected is typically burned in the open dump. Research by GAIA and the Center for International Environmental Law (2019) puts the CO2 released from open plastic burning at 2.9 tonnes per tonne burned. By recovering 9.5 tonnes, Bayete Collection prevented the equivalent of 27.55 tonnes of CO2 from entering the atmosphere — the same amount it would take 459 urban trees ten years to sequester (US EPA). That plastic was collected by their women-led teams, generating 158 paid working days of direct employment — based on an average recovery rate of 60kg per collector per day.
Pristine Victoria Falls Society
Our Mission
The Pristine Victoria Falls Society (PVFS) is a community-based movement set up in October 2021 with one very clear objective:
MAKE VICTORIA FALLS, ZIMBABWE THE CLEANEST, GREENEST CITY IN AFRICA
Our Impact
As custodians of one of the World’s Seven Natural Wonders in a World Heritage site of high ecological sensitivity, there can be few communities that have a greater incentive for creating a litter-free and sustainable environment. Not only is it a moral obligation but, for the majority of residents of Victoria Falls whose livelihoods are dependent on tourism, it is a commercial imperative.
Realising that the problem of rubbish will not be solved by applying the usual tools or relying on the same individuals and organisations to unilaterally provide the solution, PVFS has a broader, collective and collaborative approach from all organisations and individuals that, not only addresses the symptoms, but also attempts to treat the root causes of littering before it hits the streets of our City.
