Peru & Galapagos

We travelled to the amazon basin, Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, Cusco, Quito and a week's family cruise on a small boat in the Galapagos. An amazing holiday and great to teenagers!

Fantastic Adventure to Sri Lanka

Bushbaby helped us pull together a varied itinerary for a family holiday in Sri Lanka. We visited tea country, the cultural triangle, the coast and Wilpattu National Park. They were extremely knowledgeable about the country and what they didn't know they quickly found out from their very efficient local agents. We ended up with an amazing holiday staying in very different but nonetheless stunning accommodation.

We were recommended Bushbaby by a friend who had travelled to Botswana with them. Their service was very knowledgeable, personal and sensitive to any budget constraints we had. I could not recommend them highly enough.

Simply brilliant trip to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands

Easter break with two children aged 7 and 8. Touring the highlands and visiting Otovalo market. Staying at Sani Lodge in the rain forest - with an abundance of life and 24 hour sound track! Although our children found the rainforest walks a little challenging at times they loved the whole experience. Luxurious and activity packed tour of the Galapagos onboard MV Eric.

Bushbaby planned a brilliant itinerary for us that encompassed Quito, the Ecuadorian highlands, the rain forest and the Galapagos islands. The staff are knowledgeable, enthusiastic and helpful. This is the second time we have used Bushbaby and on both occasions the holidays have been fantastic and memorable.

Bushbaby got the tempo just right for our family. Just the right amount of sight seeing and traveling with timely stops for relaxation. We stayed in wonderful hotels and our driver/guide was brilliant. Bushbaby picked up this booking for us at the last minute and were up against limited availability but managed to pull together the trip full of wonderful family memories for us.

Half term break at Zighy Bay, Oman

We had a fabulous 8 night stay in this spa hotel in the middle of nowhere in a tiny corner of Oman. This is our third visit to this hotel. We all love the fact that we can relax from the moment we arrive. The private villas are luxurious without being too glitzy. I love cycling around the resort, the sunset yoga, and dining on the mountain. Fabulous place.

Once again Bushbaby Travel came up trumps, and booked for us a fabulous holiday with our family in Oman. A mall friendly operator who we feel really listens to our needs. Service is always efficient and attentive. Would not book with anyone else!

Outstanding family holiday, surpassed our expectations in every way.

This was a family holiday for us and our two children aged 13 and 9. We had an incredible experience at Ants Hill, horse-riding safaris were amazing and the staff, hospitality and location were all outstanding. At Thakadu River Camp in Midikwe we had amazing game drives, and got so close to lions, giraffes, elephants,cheetahs, buffalo and rhinos, plus a whole host of other animals in the short 2 night stay we had, it was a magical experience ...

We then spent 4 nights in Cape Town where we took in Robben Island, Table Mountain and swam in the sea with penguins! Beautiful, stunning country, a true trip of a lifetime.

Rating for tour operator:

Every aspect of our trip was planned and organised by Bushbaby Travel, the level of personal service was impressive. They discussed what we hoped to do in our 2 weeks available, and were able to deliver this beautifully. We spoke to them over the phone several times, before booking and after, in the run up to the trip they answered queries we had very promptly and sent out very useful and clear information. The actual trip ran so smoothly, every transfer they had organised was on time and the companies they used were brilliant. We really did have the trip of a lifetime that we had hoped for.
