Very knowledgeable about the area, helpful and responsive
We went on a tour to Arusha National Park, this was a great experience and thanks to Raphael and his team for making it run so smoothly. Also shout out for the amazing food we had for lunch! Brilliant day out, would recommend!

Best company in Arusha
Raphael team at Bush and Forest did an amazing job. Our day trip to Tarangire National Park with the maasai visit was a day well spent. Got upclose to many animals and our driver was knowledgeable, patient and considerate.
Lunch was also good and well balanced, we did have to secure our food from the monkeys at the picnic site hahaha
We will use them again next time we visit.

Best last minute decision
We contacted Bush and Forest a day before our Safari but still couldn't decide. Woke up early the following morning and called Joshua again. Without hesitation he started to make arrangements and 2hrs later we started our trip to Tarangire national park. Our guide Peter was great, very informative and helpful.
I made lasting memories with my family and saw some animals for the first time.
Would certainly use this company again.

Good price-quality ratio for the 1-day safari tour
We went on a safari to Mikumi National Park with Bush & Forest Explorers, including a taxi transfer from Matemwe and a short flight – and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish.
The absolute highlight was seeing two lionesses with their two cubs, a truly special and rare moment. We also saw giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffalo, warthogs, jackals, impalas, and monkeys. After a delicious lunch, we continued the safari and spotted vultures, storks, hippos, and crocodiles – a full day of impressive wildlife.
Of course, you can't guarantee you'll see all the animals, but our guide did his utmost to find as many as possible and get the most out of the day. His knowledge and enthusiasm made the safari extra special.
The organization went smoothly and everything was well taken care of. The flight in the small plane was a fun experience; for those who are a bit nervous, the landing was surprisingly calm and smoother than on an average commercial flight.
All in all, an unforgettable safari with beautiful animals, excellent service, and a guide who truly goes above and beyond to make your experience as special as possible. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to explore Mikumi National Park!

Daytrip to Tarangire National Park
We had a great time with Bush&Forest on our daytrip from Arusha to Tarangire National Park!
Communication prior to the trip went smooth and all was clear.
On the trip itself we had a good explanation on the animals that we encountered.

Excellent company and guides
Today was hands down one of the best days of my entire trip which included three countries in 12 days. They were very accommodating of our last minute plans and very responsive. Peter our driver was excellent, he made sure we didn't feel rushed. He took his time through the park, gave us lots of useful info and even helped us at the market we asked him to stop. Will definitely recommend this company to anyone I know visiting Arusha.
Thanks guys for a memorable day!

Great walking safari with James
We had an amazing time on the walking safari at Arusha National Park! Being on foot made it so much more exciting — we got incredibly close to giraffes and even a troop of baboons, which was unforgettable. Our guide, James, was fantastic. Not only was he super knowledgeable and friendly, but he also prepared us a really tasty lunch that hit the spot after the walk. Everything felt well organized, safe, and relaxed. The experience was such great value for money, and the people we met along the way made it even more special. Highly recommend this adventure!

Above and beyond
Fantastic experience visiting Arusha National Park, highly recommended!! The guide was amazing—we learned so much from him about both Tanzanian culture and the park’s wildlife and flora. Also, the food provided was really, really good, plenty of water, and they can accommodate any dietary needs. Definitely worth doing again!!

The tour was well organized, all team members were friendly and we enjoyed the time a lot.
We reserved the trip in advance paying 20% of all costs via M-PESA and then payed the remaining costs in cash two days before the safari.
The plan we were given in advance was respected during the whole trip. The food was very good, also lunch during the safari, and the lodge was very nice- with a pool and a hot shower!
Our guide told us many things about the animals we saw and also the Masai tribe.
We would book the company again and recommend it to our friends. Asante sana! 😊
