Reliable, supportive and flexible
We did two Safari days with Bush and Forest and Raphael was very helpful and supportive even we changed a bit the plan a few days before.
We are especially greatful to our guide in the first Safari day in Manyara, Peter, he is very knowledgeable and its clear that he loves his job and nature, so he made our Safari more insightful.
If we are back in Tanzania for Safari, we will contact again Bush and Forest, its 100% recomendable.

The tour operator was professional, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience smooth, enjoyable
National Park! The scenery is absolutely stunning, with lush forests, open plains, and beautiful views of Mount Meru. One of the highlights was the incredible variety of birdlife.
While it can be a bit difficult to spot some of the larger animals up close, the peaceful atmosphere and natural beauty of the park more than make up for it. It's a great destination for anyone who enjoys nature, photography, and quieter safaris

Very professional and responsible
The cost performance is very high, the guide is very professional and responsible, and the itinerary is also very safe. The chef's food is delicious, and the daily schedule is very perfect. It is a perfect experience that we have been looking for animals every day.

such a fantastic trip for 3D
It was such a fantastic trip! I had no high expectations at first, but within just three days, I captured scenes straight out of a real-life Animal World—it was truly a wonderful surprise. The driver and guide were both very helpful, and the food was great too. I’m so happy!

Extremely professional and Top-Notch Safari Company
I arranged a one day Safari in Arusha National Park with Raphael, the Manager of this Company.
Since the very first beginning, communication was quick and thorough, the car provided was a very good one and the full day Safari went not only smoothly but atte end It proved to be and highly exciting and educational experience.
Mostly thanks to our guide, James, an energetic, knowledgeable and enthusiastic young guide Who perfectly delivered the best possible service along with tons of explanations about wildlife and environment.
The next day we left Arusha Raphael would even hurry to the bus station to give two Masaai Shukas to us, a gift that we appreciated so much.
A big Asante Sana for both of you, Guys!

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.
