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

3.9/5
143 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.

    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.

    Peter the guide was great, very friendly and organised. Beautiful views of the Bulgarian countryside. The teams folklore entertainment at lunch was a lovely touch.would have been even better if more of it was off road.

    Due to a breakdown for one of the vehicles, this lead to the gear for archery and shooting being left behind and therefore unable to do those activities. There was no real guide, no structure in the tour as we had no idea where we were or where we were heading (parts of Bulgaria). Lunch was simple burger and chips Driving from driver was fast and sometimes reckless and since he didn't speak English we couldn't communicate when we had a seat belt break. This is not good value for money
