Responsible and honest
This is the best experience for coffee lovers. You can see the coffee trees and experience the entire process from harvesting the fruit to drinking the coffee. The staff are very kind and willing to explain things to you carefully and take photos and videos. And best of all, the freshly brewed coffee is delicious. There are also some cute, docile dogs on the farm, which is very relaxing.

Fabulous!
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! ❤️

An experience we'll remember, guides trying to give the best they can.
I would advice other travelers to book the tour, they try to give the best for whats possible and once your wishes are know they will achief it the best way they can.
Amazing safari with very friendly people!
We had a great safari! Not only was the price very good (friends of ours paid almost double!), but the communication was also very good. We saw lots and lots of animals, had 3 (warm) meao’s a day and overall had a very great time!

Our tour operator was kind, smart, very knowledgeable and cared about us.
We went to Tanagire, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. We stayed in tents for two nights. We saw almost every animal (no cheetah!) and our guide stopped long enough for us to really watch the animals and take photos and videos. The trip was fantastic in every way.

Amazing deal value for money
We did a one-day safari trip to Tarangire National Park, and it was great. Raphael managed to put together a very nice itinerary for us and arranged a private safari at short notice, which we really appreciated.
All in all, the safari was excellent and everything went smoothly without any mishaps. Peter, our driver and tour guide, was very polite, thoughtful, and professional. The game drive lasted roughly six hours and everything went exactly according to plan.
I’m very glad I chose to work with Raphael.
Kind regards,
Dmitry and Artsiom

Great experience
I had an unforgettable safari experience in Tarangire National Park with Bush and Forest Explorers. Everything was very well organized from start to finish, and the team was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. Our guide was excellent at spotting wildlife and sharing insights about the animals and the park, which made the experience even more special.
We saw an incredible amount of wildlife, especially elephants, and the scenery was beautiful. I felt safe, well taken care of, and truly able to enjoy every moment of the safari. I would highly recommend Bush and Forest Explorers to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania, and I would happily travel with them again.
