Both knowledgeable and helpful
To be honest, when we were sending out large sums of money to an organisation with contacts such as Mrs Doubtfire and Uncle (Ranger) Buck, we were concerned as to whether there would be anyone there to meet us at the airport or whether we had just been victims of an elaborate scam. We need not have worried. From the moment we landed to the moment we left we had the most fabulous time.
We gave them a general idea of what we wanted to do and they then provided us with a packed and exotic itinerary. If we had been doing it ourselves we doubt we would have put so much into each day but we are glad they did because it meant we experienced so much.
First we had a few days in Zimbabwe which covered so much. Seeing the Falls was a real highlight. Our guide was excellent and the Falls did not disappoint. Cruising the river at sunset spotting wildlife was excellent and then on top we could not believe the food and drink provided, another great experience. Having an early day on safari meant that by the time we arrived in Kruger we had seen 4 of the big 5 so the pressure was off and it was exciting to see the animals in the wild so early on in the trip.
An example of Ranger Buck (rightly as it turned out) squeezing in something we would never have done was the helicopter flight over the Falls on the day we were flying out. As it turned out it was fabulous. Having done the Falls on foot, seeing them from the air, understanding what we were seeing and the brilliant views was the icing on the top of those few days. The hotel was also fabulous, the staff exceedingly friendly and helpful, albeit we had little time to enjoy the facilities, so packed was our itinerary.
The excellence continued in South Africa. All our guides/drivers were excellent, fun and on time. Nothing was too much trouble for them. As for the hotels, each continued to delight, each had its own USP, we were definitely in the lap of luxury (although at times it meant we did have imposter syndrome). The V&A was in a fabulous position. The view from our room was the best and we didn’t want to leave breakfast as we were enjoying watching the seals so much. In short we loved Cape Town and the tours (especially the penguins) and would recommend a stay in the V&A to anyone.
The weather in Franschhoek could have been kinder but frankly the days there are a bit of a blur owing to the amount of wine we drank. 2 great tours and then we took their advice and took the tram on our free day. All we can say is we loved it.
Hermanus was a real bonus. Again, a superbly situated hotel and then the bonus of seeing whales both on the tour and from the shore, including at breakfast. We were so excited as seeing whales has been on our bucket list for years. Having a free day at that point was definitely a good idea as we needed the time to refresh and recharge having packed in so much.
It is difficult to know where to start with Sabi Sands. If we had thought the previous hotels were stunning this was in another league. Admittedly the setting helped. Again, (as in all the hotels) the staff could not do enough for you. As for our ranger and tracker we could not have asked for 2 more friendly and knowledgeable people. We would happily still be there getting up every day just to drive around with them whether we saw wildlife or not. As it was we saw so much. Clearly the rangers were very good at exchanging knowledge and getting as many people as possible in a position to see the animals whilst also being very aware of their welfare and not looking to adversely affect their behaviour. The whole experience completely exceeded our expectations.
Much of the credit comes down to Ranger Buck in arranging the itinerary and selecting the hotels and guides.
In addition, during our stay they were always there, responded at all hours and, when we were ill, rearranged the itinerary with absolutely no fuss at all which made such a difference to us and our enjoyment of the trip. We really felt we were in such safe hands that it took any pressure off us, took away any worries as to whether we’d be picked up, whether our accommodation would be okay, so we were just able to relax and concentrate on enjoying ourselves, which was just what we wanted.
Thorough and patient
We visited 2 national parks in Tanzania. Stayed at Ruaha River Lodge in the Ruaha National Park and Rufiji River Camp on the Rufiji River in the Nyerere National Park. Both camps were excellent in every respect. The food at Rufiji River Camp was worth a special mention. Our time in Zanzibar was interesting, but the litter on the beaches and the unethical boat trips to swim with the dolphins and go snorkelling were not what tourists like us would like to see or experience again.

Simply perfect. An exceptional stay
Ranger Buck Safaris organised a 12-day safari for us in the Kruger National Park (South Africa). Our contact, Kamo, was very attentive to our needs and fully understood our expectations. The organisation was flawless, and Ranger Buck Safaris were attentive throughout the trip, anticipating our every need and ensuring we enjoyed a completely relaxed and enjoyable experience.
The quality of the lodges, the safaris, the transfers… everything demonstrated a high standard of attention to detail and quality.
We highly recommend Ranger Buck Safaris to anyone interested in a wonderful adventure in South Africa. And we would like to extend our warmest thanks to our guardian angel, Kamo!

Exceptional Service and an Unforgettable Safari Experience
We booked a trip to the Masai Mara with Rangerbuck Safari for myself and my family, and the entire experience was excellent from start to finish.
From day one, Maria provided exceptional service and took the time to understand our requirements, offering options that were best suited to us. Everything was extremely well organised, from the planning and documentation to the actual safari experience.
The local guide arranged by Rangerbuck was fantastic and played a big part in making the safari so memorable. We also had some concerns about travelling given the current global geopolitical situation, and Maria was always available to address our concerns, answer our questions, and provide reassurance whenever we needed it.
All the information and visa documentation was provided well in advance, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free.
Overall, it was a fantastic and truly memorable trip. I would highly recommend the team at Rangerbuck Safari and would definitely book my next safari with them!
