The best choice of my life!
Traveling with Bush and Forest was the best decision of my life!
I had the opportunity to go on a 20-day charitable trip during December and thanks to the Bush and Forest organization, it was an unforgettable experience.
Traveling with them means not only having the opportunity to visit beautiful places, go on safaris and see wonderful animals, learn about ancient cultures like the Maasai, but also give you the opportunity to have a positive impact on the communities that need it most. You will be able to help with so many projects, such as schooling, football, outreach and so much more, you don't have to be an expert, just put your heart into it. What makes traveling with Bush and Forest most special is that unlike many other trips you will get to experience everyday life together with the community, learn a lot about the culture and traditions, eat local food, learn a new language, and so much more. Raphael, the director of bush and forest, is a very helpful guy, he will host you in his hostel at a very affordable price, he will do everything to accommodate your requests and answer your doubts, also he will really manage to make you feel at home.
I recommend everyone to have this experience because you will go home with a full heart, with thousand stories to tell and with a new family waiting for you forever in Arusha.

Awesome Safari, With a Fantastic Guide
My Safari with Bush and Forest Explorers was an amazing experience. My group did a 3 day Safari through the Serengeti and Ngorogoro Crater national parks, and it made for an all round comfortable and enjoyable few days. We saw just about as much wildlife as we could have hoped to see, including over 50 lions and a rhino up close and personal, and our food and accommodation was more than adequate given the very affordable price we paid. We even lucked out and got a room upgrade on our first night! Wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend these guys, great company.

Very personal tour
We went to Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara , but you can customize your tour - everything is very flexible. The accomodation and transport were very good organized. Pick up and drop off was perfect. We had enough food and water supplies and even a birthdaycake was possible. The tour operator is highly engaged in social projects and might give you an insight in Arusha Community life, if you are interested.

Well organized and amount experiences
I did my safari on August 2023.
It was a 3 day Safari where the first day we walked through Arusha National Park and the other two days we visited by car Ngoro Ngoro and Lake Manyara.
Since I was hospeding on Arusha, the first night I slept at Hostel, but I spent the second night in a Safari Camp.
On the first day, Raphael (the director) drove me to Arusha National Park where a guid pick me up and we did our trip through the park. This was an amazing tour. The guide explained me a lot of interesting things of plants and animals. After the walk we were eating close to the lake and went back to hostel for the next day.
On the second day a new guide picked me up with the truck direct at Hostel. We did a very long trip on Ngoro Ngoro (by car) where I could see a lot of wild animals. The explanation of the guide and his experience made that I missed nothing from the trip or animals.
On the night we were to a safari camp, were I had a dinner with other traveller and a big room for myself.
On the last day we were visiting Manyara lake. Again the experience of the guide made me to enjoy the safari a lot. After the trip he drove me to the hostel.
The advise and decision of this three diferents national parks was fantastic. They are differents on its climate so you can even notice that animals like giraffes have a different color in the differents national park.
I absolutely recommend to do your safari with Bush and Forest.
