The story of Mandy and Patrick's flight from Zimbabwe into Mozambique with a herd of over 100 rescued horses is both heart-rending and inspiring.
In 2000, when the political and economic structure of Zimbabwe crumbled around them, this couple risked their lives to save horses abandoned as farmers fled the country. They moved six times before finally crossing the border into Mozambique with little more than a bag of clothes, a family photo album and the horses.
We continue to follow this story of dedication and perseverance as they struggle to establish a home and livelihood in Vilanculos, on the idyllic and undeveloped coast of a country working to reclaim its place as a unique tourist destination.
Mozambique - MOZAMBIQUE BEACH SAFARI - The Safari here is ideal for those who enjoy riding on undeveloped beaches as far as the eye can see beside warm, clear ocean water beckoning you for a swim. In addition to riding on the beaches and nearby islands you can go snorkeling, scuba diving, fishing or sailing in a dhow. The accommodations are comfortable and the food is excellent. The trip can be arranged to fit your personal desires and there is wide choice of horses.
Mozambique - VOLUNTEER PROGRAMS - Come for a month or just 2 weeks. Ride and work side-by-side with some of Africa's most fortunate horses and their devoted rescuers, Mandy and Patrick.
