Bees for Development

Beekeeping Safaris

Safari to Tobago and Trinidad led by Gladstone Solomon our partner for 16 years

Our award-winning Beekeepers' Safaris are holidays we introduced in 1996, as part of our programme to promote awareness of beekeeping as a worthwhile and sustainable activity for development.

Our Safaris are joint activities between BfD and our local, partner organisations.

Beekeepers and non-beekeepers alike join and enjoy our Safaris, offering a memorable journey for all concerned.

"The 3rd BfD Safari I've been on and I cannot really see what you could do to better the set up" 

Phil  Cunningham, 2008 participant

 

"I find that staying in touristy hotels does not really help in getting to know the people and the country.  What a difference when I visit a country with a group of beekeepers:   we are always welcomed, invited into homes and treated as if we are members of an expanded family. Our Safari to Turkey with BfD was no exception. 

Very helpful - nothing was too much trouble - excellent that there were no extras"

Chris Utting, 2008 participant 

 

 

"At first I thought the tour was expensive.  But the programme and arrangements were very generous.  Thanks to Nihat I am grateful, no complaints.

Beryl Smailes, 2008 participants
