Passionate about Africa
Our trip to Tanzania with a group of seven friends was hosted by Archie Rutherford from Ranger Buck Safaris and we had the most incredible experience. We flew into Arusha via Dar-es-salaam and transferred to the Lions Paw Lodge on the Ngorongoro crater rim. The accommodation was very good, but most importantly, quick and simple access to the crater floor and the most amazing game viewing experience and scenery. From there we drove up through the Serengeti National park and stayed overnight at Sametu Camp in the Centre of the Park. Endless wide open grass plains with plenty of game and very good food and friendly staff at the lodge. Our final stop was the north of the park at the Serengeti Mara River Camp, where we got to see huge numbers of wildebeest and three spectacular river crossings. Three day later we flew back to Arusha and back to Johannesburg through Dar es Salaam. Overall the experience was incredible and very good value for money. The only thing I would change is potentially flying one of the legs up through the park as opposed to driving, but the accommodation, service and the staff at the lodges was excellent. Ranger Buck Safaris was superb throughout and a brilliant host on the trip. Hope to do it all again someday.

Very quick response to ALL our many questions.
I can not give Ranger Buck Safaris enough credit for their help in making our trip so amazing.
7 of us travelled to South Africa - they found the impossible - 10 seater van out of East London - spotless, brand new - no one else could find one for us....they did.
We stayed at Mala Mala - Rattrays - Archie Rutherford and Lindsay Doubtfire were so patient with finding us the perfect place for our budget - they never got irritated - as did the previous agent - they were patient and we had a lot of requests.
We will definitely be using them again and I'm already referring other family and friends - they are honest and trustworthy and made our trip seamless!

Very professional, organized and precise.
Everything was very professionally organized and everything went without a single problem.
Rickfig lodge is a beautiful place with a very welcoming and well-organized team.
Our guide Mario was able to make us see and experience Cap Town with its beauty and contrasts.
If we return or if friends would like to come, Ranger Buck will always be our reference point.

Very efficient and great attitude. Knowledgeable and would recommend this service to many.
The value for money is top notch. Every dollar spent was well worth it. The information and reliability were exceptional and timely. Communication to prepare for our experience was extremely helpful and the tour was phenomenal. Our mantra is going to places and experience but not come back to the same place as there is so much to see in life. This is a place we will return again based on the experience, service and beauty all around us.

well organised, well structured, on time and on promise.
a very pleasant partnership that worked ell together to tailor a bespoke journey on which every promise was delivered. the creation of a personal app with all journey details was a very efficient and pleasant extra. The experience with Ranger Buck has been a pleasant one from the first day onwards

great experience his knowlegde of the bush was excellent, extremely enjoyed my time with Ranger buck
Ranger Buck communications was wonderful not once did we have to follow up anything but before we thought about it it was already answered, as a tour guide ( game ranger} I thought Ranger Buck was very knowledgeable his passion for wildlife and the outdoors shows in the way he handles every situation be it an anthill or a Lion he will spend his time explaining on anything big or small , He goes all out to make game drives worth every minute, He organized everything for us, all we had to do was to arrive, he communicates the whole time and actually very entertaining to listen to and to talk to.. It surely did live up to all the expectations I had on a Safari, and would recommend him to anyone wanting a good laugh and at the same time a good education of the Bush.

Ranger Buck Safaris was always responsive, alert, knowledgeable, timely, and courteous.
Can't praise Ranger Buck Safaris enough. Our trip to Africa was probably not the normal trip most groups book.. The back story: My youngest daughter was getting married to a young man whose family was originally from South Africa. Instead of a big wedding they wanted our two families to take a trip together to South Africa. Because of the grooms families familiarity with South Africa we did not need or want a packaged trip. We wanted to be in control of what we did and where we went. We just needed Ranger Buck Safaris to make some reservations, arrange some hotel bookings, arrange some intra African airfare, and book our Safari for us. There were other aspects of our two week trip we wanted to handle ourselves. Ranger Buck Safaris was able to arrange everything we asked---all we had to do was supply the dates. They were responsive to our requests and we never had to wait long for an answer even though we were communicating from the USA and dealing with a seven hour time difference. They even went above and beyond and were able to find us a brand new ten passenger van so we could all travel together. Working with them was great. I will definitely use them again for our next African adventure.
