Mukuvisi Woodlands, located in the Hillside suburb of Harare, offers a unique opportunity to experience Zimbabwe's wildlife and nature without leaving the city. Spanning 263 hectares, the woodlands are home to a variety of indigenous flora, including over 140 species of trees like Msasa, Muhacha, and Munhondo, as well as more than 300 bird species. Visitors can spot animals such as zebra, giraffe, impala, and wildebeest, along with their young, in their natural habitat. The reserve also hosts a number of environmental organizations. It's an ideal spot for a leisurely walk, run, or bike ride, with designated trails for visitors to explore on Sunday mornings. The daily wildlife viewing sessions, particularly around feeding time, provide a great opportunity to observe these animals up close.

The horseback riding was amazing! You are able to really experience the wildlife up close. The hiking trails are nice as well, though you likely won’t see as much wildlife in that area.

Security needs improvement - there were two bird hides that we couldn't go into because there were teenagers going at it inside them, along with the most terrible sounds...very unpleasant. Fortunately we did not have our kids with us.

We had a family braii and then watched the animals. The kids loved watching the giraffe and zebra and guinea pigs. Lots of paths to walk. A nice place to spend the afternoon.
