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

4/5
137 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.

    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

    Our driver arrived 25 minutes late to collect us. We were not told at any time where exactly we were being driven to. The views were amazing but of what? I thought there would be more off road than we had. The forest stop was not what I expected archery was plastic arrows, I thought with the amount of money that was paid it was going to be real. I was not on holiday to take part in tug of war.Not a lemon in sight for real lemonade. Lunch was sausages, typical Bulgarian food? Musical bit was good
