First timer so I have nothing to reference in the form of past experiences. Most people have fond childhood memories of school trips to this place, so going there for the first time as an adult must be contextualised. The booking process was over that phone which was convenient. I signed up for the horse safari even though I've never been on a horse before! The place was easy to find using Google Maps and so was the payment procedure. With 30mins to kill, we decided to checkout the rest of this place. Walkways were clearly demarcated, signs were well-positioned and grounds are in great shape. A few animals in enclosures including crocodiles, duiker & some game. There's a nice viewing deck of the game enclosure but it's at least 2 stories above the animals. The horse safari was conducted by vaMaHorse which loosely translated means Mr Horse. The helmets were really dirty. We saw zebra, impala, eland, giraffes whilst riding through the game enclosure. All in all a good day out and didn't have to leave the city to enjoy the game and horses

Enjoyed the day out with kids going on a bike ride on their trails. Followed the markings along the trail. Saw some steenbok along our bike ride. Clean. Serene. Peaceful

Lovely quiet clean animal sanctuary. Variety of animals and birds. Great for a braai hike or walk. Great for pictures.

A wide variety of animals to see. My personal favourites were the zebras. Absolutely love the atmosphere, would love so see a change at the cafe, a variety of food is a must.

Good spots to just sit and watch the birds and animals around the watering hole. Or if you'd like to get in some walking, nice trail through the Woodlands where you can spot a lot of animals grazing.

Huge expanse of lovely, green woodland. Loads of stunning animals at gaze at. Very expensive if you are just going there for a quick outing, $4 for children and $5 for adults. Food also very expensive. But if you are going there for the whole day and doing the activities then it is of great value. Beautiful area and a great viewing platform where you can see a huge variety of animals. We saw eland, zebra, impala, giraffe and wildebeest in about 10 minutes! Endless nature walks and dogs are welcome! Beautiful little river at the end of the red trail. Definitely recommend!

Lovely place but it’s a shame it’s a little run down and lacking in what they’re able to offer. Not much has changed since my last visit in 2010. This place has so much potential but I know everything costs money. Maybe a good idea to develop the restaurant menu to something a little more upmarket and modern. This might attract a different clientele as well as much needed funds for developments. Thanks for the experience all the same.

One of my favourites. Always love my time out here. Updated Sept 2023 - was a little disappointed. Went to get the kids milkshakes and there was non to be served although on the menu. The steak, egg and chips was good tho and price fair. The kids had brownies and they were very nice

You can almost ignore the traffic. The animals, the environment . Very peaceful. A good place for school educational visits. Staff welcoming and willing to provide information.

Horse riding is my favourite, and you can do that guided tour overthere. Awesome. They provide Helmets 🪖 too for safety. Seen Zebras and Jerraf while riding horse 🐎.

Lovely nature walk with animals. Park was clean and not crowded at all. Trails were well-marked, so we could walk them by ourselves at leisure. It was great to see some of the resident animals such as zebras, girafes and antelope at feeding time from the observation deck.

Natural, fresh environment. Perfect for a day out with family. Definitely worth the tour!

Loved the experience. Horse riding was fun and the scenery and wildlife was breathtaking

Worth a visit just to get away from the hustle and bustle of Harare traffic. A few mins walk and you get total silence. Water seemed scarce during my visit and noticed quite a few watering holes for the animals were empty.

Lovely unguided walk for $5 per person. Animals are so used to humans no need to fear when walking past them

Serene place great for hiking. You can trudge for 10 KM in the breathtaking African savanna. You can even view some wild animals along the way. Great place.

Wonderful place to explore for everyone 😉

So refreshing filled with wonderful wildlife. I highly recommend the sunrise horse riding experience

Great outdoor environment. However there are a few activities onsite

The greatest selling point of this place is location. You get a chance to feel like you’re in the wilderness without leaving the city

Lovely animal sanctuary situated at the heart of the city of harare. Uniquely and conveniently placed to help those eager to see wildlife yet not needing to press the wallet in going out to the game parks around the country. The place has various animals ,from the zebra to giraffes,wilder beasts,impalas etc. There are many activities including horse riding whilst viewing the animals.

Wonderful place. Jungle walk and wide range of animals includes Elands, impala, giraffes, zebras 👍💕

A good place for kids' day out, picnic area and nice breakfast from restaurant.

Great combination of wildlife and nice trails. They have at least two mountain bikes available for rent for $5.

Right in the heart of Harare, this amazing woodland experience complete with animals is the perfect get away for a bush experience. We walked and saw the full beautiful spring colours of the msasa trees coming into leaf with giraffe loping along the tree line. Amazing.

Was there for the Aloe, Cactus and succulent Society exhibition. It was beautiful....

Wonderful scenic views, horse rides a great place to see animals that's so close to the CBD

A little wild oasis in the middle of the city. Different walking options 3, 5, 8, or 10km through miombo woodlands among zebra and giraffe. Viewing platform over the watering hole and nice braai areas. There is a little shop and occasionally a market.

Beautiful scenery and walks. $5 entrance fee Giraffe feeding at 2pm

Mukuvisi is a nice break from the chaos of Harare. However, it is a little rundown and it is a pricey for what you get. Admissions is US$5 for adults and $4 for children. I feel this place could generate more revenue if it lowered the admission fees so more people would come and offered better services like a nice restaurant or cafe, bouncy castle, a better playground, a petting zoo, nicer braai areas and so on. These are just some ideas but you definitely need more than just the animals to attract people.

I have been to Mukuvisi several times but l would like to give a review of my recent outing there. We went for a 5km walk, l feel the markings along the trail could be improved. We enjoyed the scenery, l need to come back during the rainy season when its green.

Good place to visit and have fun as a family or friends. Horse rides are great fun especially for the children

Mukuvisi Woodlands is a very nice refreshing place for family and friends 🙂

Brilliant place to spend a relaxed afternoon with nature. Lots of wildlife on view. Really enjoyed my time there.

So idyllic, rooms and accommodation were absolutely fantastic and very spacious. Most staff couldn't do enough if they tried, so thank you. All very clean too. It was almost perfect but The food was pretty bad unfortunately due to there not being any choice I.e. whatever was served for dinner is what you were given, no other option. Food was usually served warm instead of hot and the food and verge manager was pretty useless and not forthcoming unfortunately. Our tour guide Tor was fantastic too and thank you to him for his time. All the best

Cool environment, good for family outings, BBQ, picnic and theres a bit of safari experience too.

Great place under new management, on the up and up, visible improvements every time you visit Great to see.

Great venue for meetings or conferencing under the trees whilst viewing the animals..

Beautiful area. Quiet peaceful and amazing birdlife

Urban Wild, wonderful nature escape .

Great place for fresh air and for getting the family and kids out, horse ride, bike ride or just a walk. Great bacon and egg rolls after.... Worth getting out to.

Clean place and refreshing just needs a more vibrant look

Its a relaxing environment i loved it.

Its beautiful, lovely scenery and nature walk activities. The staff are really friendly and welcoming. Their explanations are very detailed and their knowledge base is quite extensive, for those looking to find out more about the wildlife. It would have however been even nicer if there was a more diverse collection of animals available for visitors to see. I had a great experience regardless.

They have every animals

Great scenery. Especially if you also opt for the e-bike tour with Asambe Africa, you get to see more in the trails

Brilliant experience

Fantastic

Hospitallity good

Very good place, very quiet and scenic viewing

Great place to chill and watch some wild animals

Small game viewing on horse Ride

Nyc place to be

its quiet and the air is clean

A serene, well kept place, a woodland in the middle of the city, with flora and animals. A good breakaway place with a restaurant that serves delicious food and runs a very good market at the last Sunday of every month. Awesome pampering services from Skinadore, massages, pedicures, manicures, facials. It's the place to visit and wind off and rejuvenate.

Great place to be

Wonderful park in Harare. Well worth supporting.

Still needs working on parking

I was not happy with the service. The staff were rude from the reception and restaurant. The ground staff were friendly

For once, you can actually feel , the natural environment!

Very nice and well maintained spot in the city center of Harare, not many animals but great place to relax and make walks. Also good for kids.

Fantastic place to get some fresh air and see wildlife in the middle of the city. Also very good place to learn Bush knowledge.

We a great time with family bbq

Very good natural wilderness experience & branch for family in the city! Refreshing

Such a lovely serene place. Beautiful wildlife, lovely viewing area, quiet place to sit and eat with family. Saw crocodiles, zebras, wildebeest, antelope, tortoise, Guinea pigs and various birds. However need to book horse riding ahead to ensure availability. Loved their burgers though.

This is such a beautiful place. A get away from the busy town just to enjoy animals and the beautiful nature. Loved it! I went there with my close friends and we can't wait to go back. The scenery is beautiful!

A beautiful place to chill. Quiet too.

This is such a beautiful place. Had of wonderful 10 km hike and got to see a small herd of impala, lots of birds and a giraffe. Hard to believe we were in the middle of the city!

There is lot to improve there. Nice place for walking and outdoor activities.

It is so good to have this wetlands refuge so close to Harare, with a range of wildlife including Zebra.

It's great for walking.Horseriding for the kids as well We had also gone for the birds unfortunately they're no longer there. Feeding time for the animals was the best.

Great outing in support of baby callan. Decent turnout, food was okay - coffees not so great. They ran out of freshly cut chips, however understandable due to the volumes on the day. Park is very clean, well maintained at first glance

Magical...walking with wild animals in the middle of the city! Lovely day spent here...

Perfect place for a weekend outing with family. A chance to see wild animals.

Not very enjoyable did not see any animals, no safari car rides you have to walk either 3km, 5km, 8km or 10km and hope you bumble into some animals along the way. You can cycle but just a tiring experience overall. Last visited 2006 and came back 2023 definitely not coming again.
