Attention to detail was fantastic, every step of the journey
My wife, 2 college age kids, my two older sisters and two of their grown children spent 14 days traveling to South Africa. It included 2 days in Johannesburg, 5 days on a fantastic safari in the Mali Mali, 2 days at Lake Victoria and 5 days in Cape Town. From the moment we arrived late at night until we departed two weeks later, Ranger Buck and their team planned was with us every step of the journey. I would not change a thing. 5 Stars to Archie and Maria and the entire Ranger Buck team.

A Trip of A Lifetime!
Ranger Buck Safaris arranged a most amazing, memorable trip for nine family members in ages ranging from 20 years old to 75 and every single one of enjoyed every single moment that was crafted for us. Maria paid attention to every detail of our requests from accommodations to deviations from planned daily activities during the planning process. She was responsive and thoughtful in all of the recommendations she made for us and her choices did not disappoint. She was even quick to come up with a backup plan on the fly when weather impacted a planned activity. We enjoyed varied experiences from a most impressive, luxury safari to a sidecar ride along the southeastern coast; while also experiencing zip lining, hot air ballooning, a helicopter ride over Victoria Falls, a cruise down the Zambezi River and a hike up to the top of Lions Head just outside of Cape Town. Our hand-selected, local guides provided great insight to the history of the areas we visited and the culture of the beautiful people of South Africa. I wouldn't hesitate to utilize Ranger Buck Safaris for future trips and I will recommend them to others without reservation.

Fantastic about communicating, arranged everything!
The whole trip from beginning to end was exquisitely planned. It was a massively good value for the money, and the location for the safari was fantastic. It was great to be able to customize the trip and add a trip to Cape Town... and the domestic flights were perfectly timed. I would recommend to anyone, and plan to use the exact same company when we return to South Africa! Wish we could do the exact trip again from beginning to end!

Incredible Package at a Reasonable Price
We used Ranger Buck safaris to plan a trip to Zimbabwe Victoria Falls and Botswana Okavango Delta in March 2024. We could not be happier with the organization, itinerary, ease of communication, and the pricing!
We were visiting from the U.S. but wanted to start with a self safari at Kruger National Park in South Africa. Therefore, we did not use Ranger Buck for that part of our trip; however, Maria, our safari coordinator, went above and beyond by providing us with some helpful advice for our Kruger trip. After that, Ranger Buck organized everything for the next part of our trip, including flights from Kruger Mpumalanga Airport in South Africa to Victoria Falls, overnight stay at a wonderful hotel in Victoria Falls, evening sunset cruise on the Zambezi river, next morning visit to Victoria Falls, transport to Kasane Airport after that, flight into the Okavango Delta to Machaba Camp (which was absolutely wonderful), three nights at Machaba, then flights back to Gaborone where we departed back to the U.S. (with a tear in our eyes as we did not want to leave).
Prior to travel, I worked with Maria at Ranger Buck Safaris to come up with an itinerary and the level of detail that Maria/Ranger Buck provided in the itinerary was wonderful (detail down to daily snack times, dinner times, etc.). There was a link to our personal online itinerary which also included all necessary documents and information for our trip. The prices were also very reasonable for safaris in Botswana, especially in comparison to what some of the other safaris companies quoted. I highly highly recommend Ranger Buck Safaris and already am looking forward to when we can use their services next!

Traveling to Africa is the trip of a lifetime!
The Ranger Buck team put together a wonderful trip for our family of 4 to South Africa and Zimbabwe. The trip included 2 safari lodges in Sabi Sands , a trip to Victoria Falls and 5 days in Capetown. The did an excellent job mapping out the itinerary and making sure all of our needs were met. The lodges were wonderful, tour guides and driver were excellent and we would definitely use them again. They were even available on Christmas Eve when luggage was lost! Our tour was 14 days including travel and we saw all that we could possibly fit into that time frame. We hope to come back one day and thanks to all of the Ranger Buck Team.

Provided amazing service. Presented various options and quotes. Inquiries were answered promptly.
They arranged the trip of a lifetime for 17 of us. We went on safari at Kapama Private Game Reserve which was an all inclusive experience. The staff, trackers, drivers, resort and food were excellent. After our stay, we were driven to the airport through the reserve for one last glimpse before flying on to Cape Town. A driver was waiting at the airport for us and took us to our next stop at the Table Bay Hotel on the waterfront which was beautiful place. So many restaurants and stores were within walking distance (the mall was even accessible from inside the hotel). We took two personal tours, one to the wine region for two tastings, and one along the coast to Cape Pointe and Cape of Good Hope then on to Simon's Town to see the penguins. A great time was had by all and we had no issues.

Exemplary… could not have been happier!
The hotel is beautiful. It is very tastefully decorated and relaxing. The food and the service in the dining room was top notch. There was a delicious variety of food appealing to many tastes. I often choose the vegetarian option and was never disappointed. The safari rangers Jordon and Witness were fantastic. We easily saw the big 5 in the first few days. They were very knowledgeable and fun. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone.

Fantastic from start to finish
Top notch service from the beginning to the end. There is not a single thing that could be improved. Personally meeting us in Johannesburg and making sure we were all taken care of. Over the top service with everything. We did not have to worry about a thing on our trip. Everything was organized for the group of 17. Absolutely amazing! I would highly recommend Ranger Buck to everyone.

Outstanding professionalism from a team of experts in the industry!!
I started planning a trip to South Africa for myself and 16 friends from Canada back in September 2023. I could not have done this without the help from the outstanding team of Ranger Buck Safaris! From our arrival in Johannesburg, accommodation at the Palazzo Montecasino, trip through the Kingdom of Eswatini, our safari in Kapama and our trip to Cape Town, Ranger Buck was there 100% of the way! Their knowledge, professionalism and attention to detail surpassed our expectations. The trip could not have gone smoother. Our heartfelt thanks to you all at Ranger Buck! We will be back!!!! With Love from the Canadians!
