Off-road safari in Bulgaria’s Balkan Mountains from Sunny Beach

3.9/5
149 reviews

The real Bulgaria is calling on this exciting day in the countryside. Hop into a comfy 4x4 for a wild ride through the breathtaking Balkan Mountains, where the thrill of crossing the Aheloy River and the beauty of nature come alive. Dimitar, one of our expert local guides, says, "you'll visit Kozichino village, the perfect place to experience the authentic Bulgarian rural way of life. Kozichino is renowned for its efforts to preserve old crafts, customs, and the traditional Bulgarian architecture of the region."

As you rumble through the Bulgarian landscapes, there'll be a few stops. Imagine the excitement as kids turn into treasure hunters in an ancient oak forest, guided by GPS, while adults harness their inner Robin Hood for some archery. The journey takes a scenic turn at 'Tabite,' offering a panoramic view that screams photo op. Come lunchtime, we'll swing by the timeless village of Kozichino for a cultural feast at an ethnographic complex.

Here, in a vibrant courtyard, get a slice of village life, explore a museum packed with local treasures, and snap photos in traditional attire. The owner whips up his signature bio lemonade, served alongside a hearty meal of cabbage salad, grilled kebabchetas, and bread, with a water and lemonade included. But wait, there's more – the 'Safari' orchestra sets the soundtrack to your meal, followed by an off-road adventure to Gyulovtsa, where a rakia tasting awaits.

    The food for vegetarians was appalling…some over-boiled broccoli and carrots and cold chips. The cabbage salad…was just that together with the bread had been sat on the table with flies all over them for heaven knows how long. The shooting and archery was oversold in the advert, 2 shots each of the broken air guns, the plastic archery set ..didn’t bother The trip was good, but too long.

    The trip was not explained very well by the TUI rep. They should have stated not suitable for any one with back problems as my friend had an operation on her spine last year and was in a lot of pain after the trip and on extra pain killers for the rest f the holiday. We were told the lunch stop was in a village with time to look round but it was actually a purpose built facility not a village. we did enjoy the scenery but feel a different trip would have been more suitable.

    I would NOT recommend this tour! Our pick up was over an hour late. Received no notification only 3 different excuses when we contacted TUI. No communication from driver. Driver made up time to get to the rest of group so we missed out on first hour. First stop was dirty, full of animal feces, trash and cigarette ends. Too many people in tour where we could attempt archery (two boards) or shooting ( one gun). The lunch provided was covered in flies so we didn’t eat. The jeep ride part was fun.

    Pointless trip . Yes the views are nice but the price for what you get is extortionate. None English speaking driver although to be fair once gathered there was an English speaking guide . Archery and shooting not organised no instruction . Food sub standard and that’s being kind .. very disappointing trip

    We really enjoyed this trip. We had an excellent driver, Jeko, who was very kind. We forgot to bring water, so he quickly took us to a nearby village where we could buy a few bottles. The scenery is beautiful, and you really get a taste of Bulgarian culture.
