What Our Clients Say
Read about the amazing experiences our clients have shared!
“I contacted Adventure Horizons for a walking tour and ended up booking in different tours around the Harare area, and even further north into Domboshawa and Tengenenge!
In the process I got to meet Joe, Sibo and June, who were all deeply hospitable. I have to say that having them as guides was a major highlight of my trip.
I would recommend them to anybody looking for an authentic experience 🙂 “

” It was a pleasure booking this tour. It was my first experience in Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 and this tour made it even better. My tour guide showed me around the CBD, gave me a brief history of the city and Zimbabwe’s history. The tour guide took around the CBD and pointed out several key places/point. We had lunch together and it was the best opportunity while having lunch to talk more about Zimbabwe and each other’s background. I will certainly visit Zimbabwe again and book this tour again. “

“I did the walking tour and the tour of Mbare with Takunda as my guide. It was an all day, 8 mile tour with great information and wonderful conversation. Definitely wear your comfortable walking shoes, you’ll need them. He is very knowledgeable about Harare and Zimbabwe and you can tell us very proud of it and excited to share the information.
We had a lovely lunch in the East Gate center, I will be thinking about this meal for some time to come, it was delicious! The parks are so beautiful, we went to the National Gallery where the art is deeply moving and beautiful. Then went to the Natural Science Museum. Many interesting things to see there as well.”
