So helpful withh every aspect of our trip, really great experiance with these guys.
5/5

We booked the Rovos Rail, Victoria Falls and Safari with Ranger Buck and it was all perfectly organised. One of the staff (Maria) even met us at the Airport in Johannesburg, just to say hello and give us some gifts.

Really great company to deal with, so helpful and responsive at all points of the booking process and during our trip.

very thorough, he was able to match us up with the ideal lodge
5/5

We had asked for a lodge that was luxurious but able to accommodate a family with teenage children. The match was perfect , and a few days before departure we found they had managed to upgrade us to the signature lodge, which was amazing. All relevant info was relayed and no question too small.

Thorough homework and planning was done by the tour operator that resulted in Africa Magic!
5/5

When you plan a Bucket List trip you need to pick your operator wisely!Ranger Buck Safari’s came highly recommended with good support from online reviews.We where fortunate enough to have Ranger Buck himself join us on the trip.It is only when you spend time with the operator that you truly understand the effort that Ranger Buck Safari’s put into their trips, attention to comfort and detail taken to a next level!
Airport lounge access for all on departure,snacks for the flight,comfortable ground transport with ice cold “refreshments” on arrival,sim cards for wi-fi (not sure if this was good or bad),hand picked lodges,extra’s on the house that included several bush drives,bush meals,snack packs and as always the odd “refreshment”.The Ngorongoro crater with its abundance of wildlife followed by multiple crossing’s of wildebeest through the Mara river was truly unforgettable and does not need any motivation.Hot air ballooning in the Serengeti an absolute must!
In summary it is always pleasant if a trip you dreamed of exceeds your expectations!

Passionate about Africa
5/5

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.
5/5

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.
5/5

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.
5/5

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.

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
5/5

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.
