African Adventure of a Lifetime in TANZANIA! 🦁🐆🐘🦏🐃🇹🇿 Dearest Raphael, Peter, Godson and our cooks Exaud and Philippo, this is my very first time in Africa and the most memorable trip of a lifetime. Starting off at a Maasai village I was able to wear the Shuka, dance with the tribe and learned how to make fire in 7 minutes! Wow! Our first national park is the Tarangire National Park, the herd of Elephants 🐘 we saw is truly magical! There were also Waterbuck, Zebras, Gazelles and Impalas in the park! Another fascinating thing we saw were the hundreds and hundreds of Baobab trees! This includes the incredible huge termite mounds mostly seen near the trees! 2nd day, we went to Ngorongoro Crater, the largest caldera in the world! We saw the Lions and Hyenas! It is a natural wonder! I remembered the movie the Lion King way back in 1994 where I watched it as a 9-year old boy! Little did I know that I will see Africa face-to-face at 40! Age is just a number! There were hundreds of flamingoes in the lake plus a rare sighting of the Eastern Black Rhinoceros! 3rd and 4th day, we went to the Serengeti National Park, another unfogettable experience! We were lucky to see 3 cheetahs with a kill - a Grant’s gazelle! As a birdwatcher, a lifer for me is the Secretary Bird and the Hamerkop! 5th day, I went to the coffee plantion at Meru Paradise View! It’s such an entertaining farm where I learned to make coffee step-by-step from separating the 3 layers of coffee berry to achieve the coffee beans. I learned how to use the giant mortar and pestle and roast the coffee beans and grind them again! The final product comes with some coconut chips! It’s highly recommended and educational! I was also able to see Arusha Cultural Heritage! Such a great sight! Tomorrow will be my final tourist spot - the Serval Wildlife! I can’t wait to the pet the Lion! 🦁 🇹🇿 Karibu Tanzania! Asante sana! ❤️

Tagesausflug Tarangire Park We had a very cool experience with Bush and Forest Explorers! I was in contact via Whats App with Raphael about 5 Days before we got to Arusha. 3 Days before our Safari everything was organized via WhatsApp and he send me schedule concerning our upcoming day trip to Tarangire Park. The evening before our trip Raphael came to the Hotel, introduced us to our guides and we managed the payment already. The next morning they picked us up right on time at at hour Hotel and we started our journey together. First we had a little breakfast stop and were invited for tea and some morning snacks. After that we continued with our outstanding guid Yona towards the Park. After about two hours including a little refreshment stop at a gas station we got to the entrance of Tarngire. It was quit bussy that day so it took a while till the paper work to get in was done, but that was overall no problem for us, since the car had a little fridge. We just used the time having a little refreshment drink while Yona took good care of the paper work. After that we were ready to enter the park. We got to see zebras, giraffes, lions, elephants, gnus and many more animals. Yona took us to a nice lunch stop where you were able to see the river, monkeys and Elephant Familys. The Lunchboxes where also included in our trip 😊 After Lunch we started our return back to Arusha. Unfortunately one of our two cars had a problem so it could not continue. That was also absolutely no Problem for our Guide Team. They managed to get a replacement car within 15 Minutes and we could continue our ride back to Arusha without any more problems. Overall we had a very exciting day with a lot of nice people. You can really see and feel the hospitality and effort Raphael, Yona, Kenneth and everyone out of their Team put into there work, trying to get the best experience for all of us! Thank you very much again 😊

We went on a 3 days safari, to arusha national park, lake manyara and tarangire. we saw a lot of animals (giraffes, elephants, zebra…) Our guide was very nice and friendly, he knows the best spots and explains a lot of things.

Best 3 day safari – Tarangire, Ngorongoro & Lake Manyara We did the 3 day safari with Bush and Forest and it was an amazing experience. From the start, the team was professional, punctual, and very attentive. We visited Tarangire, the Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara — three very different but equally stunning parks. One of the highlights was seeing all of the Big Five (yes, including the rhino!), along with countless other animals in their natural habitats. The wildlife sightings were unforgettable, the guide was knowledgeable and passionate, and the camping experience was comfortable and well-organized. Everything ran smoothly, and we felt safe and well taken care of throughout the trip. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic and well-planned safari in Tanzania!

Great safari! The safari was amazing! I went on a 3 day safari to Tarangire National Park, NgoroNgoro Crater and Lake Manyara National Park. I got picked up in Arusha and there the safari began. Our tourguide was great! He knew exaclty where to go for the animals. We stayed for 2 days in the same resort. First I thought that we were camping in a tent. But we got a room with electricity and a hot shower. There was also a pool! Amazing!! I had a great experience!

Highly recommend! We had a great experience with Bush and Forest Explorers. The transportation was comfortable and clean, the activities were accurate and the Hot Springs are so beautiful and refreshing! Raphael is kind and patient and excited to share the local sights with you. Would definitely recommend their services!
