Mozambique: A Unique Adventure to Explore the Rich Biodiversity on Land and Sea
Crystal-clear turquoise waters, white sandy beaches, and lush coastal vistas offer a backdrop to the serenity of riding a horse through the calm waters of the Indian Ocean. Mozambique Horse Safari offers this magical experience, allowing you to connect deeply with nature and culture. Journey through fishing villages, mangroves, red sand dunes, and stunning coastlines, whether for a few hours, or several blissful days.
The country’s extensive coastline is a paradise for adventurers and nature lovers. Bazaruto archipelago is among the world’s most pristine marine habitats, home to over 2,000 fish species. Divers and snorkelers can explore vibrant coral reefs, swim alongside dolphins, whales, and the rare dugong, thanks to the region's dedication to marine conservation.
The Mozambique Horse Safari adds a unique dimension to this rich setting. When I first learned about it, I was beyond intrigued. My research led me down a path of history, politics, and its impact on one family.

Pat and Mandy Retzlaff rescued hundreds of horses from Zimbabwean farms in the height of political turmoil ultimately finding refuge in Mozambique with 104 horses and the beginning of the Mozambique Horse Safari.
Easily accessible with an overnight in Johannesburg, Mozambique is an ideal destination for a safari in South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Namibia, or Botswana. Beyond viewing spectacular wildlife, bonding with one of these magnificent horses might become the highlight of your trip.
