Another trip of a lifetime

From start to finish Bushbaby Travel do everything to make your holiday the best it could ever be. We returned to Le Franschhoek hotel in the Winelands after a 7 year gap as we loved it the first time we were there and the excellent standard has not altered over the years. A beautiful place to start from. Our game reserves stops both at Sanbona and Tshukudu gave us animal sightings and experiences never to be forgotten. The lodges were of ...

From start to finish Bushbaby Travel do everything to make your holiday the best it could ever be. We returned to Le Franschhoek hotel in the Winelands after a 7 year gap as we loved it the first time we were there and the excellent standard has not altered over the years. A beautiful place to start from. Our game reserves stops both at Sanbona and Tshukudu gave us animal sightings and experiences never to be forgotten. The lodges were of an exceedingly high standard with gorgeous fresh food cooked to perfection. We felt very spoilt. Sun City was great fun but as Las Vegas is the adult playground Sun City is more the kids playground with certain things being geared to the grown ups. We had a beautiful pool area and The Sun Terrace restaurant for breakfast was exceptionally good.You couldn't wish for anything better.

Rating for tour operator:

Professional - knowledgable and totally delightful to deal with. Their attention to detail is second to none and they will do their utmost to save your costs wherever they are able. They keep you updated at every stage of the process and their travel folder containing all your information/maps/instructions etc is an absolute mine of information in order that you cannot be faced with any problems along the way. This company is our only port of call for all our long haul holidays and Bushbaby Travel have made the seven we have done with them the most joyful experiences.

A great time in the USA

We loved San Francisco and the apartment there, the Dude Ranch was also fabulous, > the wedding went without a hitch and New York was amazing.

Each time I’ve used Bushbaby it's been a great experience and I’ve been utterly satisfied. They are knowledgeable about the destinations and the accommodation. They respond promptly and efficiently to queries and talk through different options in a thoroughly helpful way. They do everything I want them to do and they do it really well

Family holiday to South Africa

Just back from on amazing family holiday to South Africa. One week in the South West (Cape Town and Grootbos) followed by a few days safari at Pilanesberg and Madikwe. Amazing landscapes, good game viewing, excellent hotels and food.

We never thought that we could do a South African holiday (including safari) with our two young boys (aged 4 and 7) but Bushbaby Travel made it happen by putting together a tailor made, family friendly holiday.

Thailand

Very well organised. Good balance of activities. Anantara Elephant Camp and Baan Taling Ngam, in particular, were great resorts.

Family Tour of Sri Lanka

We have just returned from 3 weeks travelling around Sri Lanka with our 3 children. What a fabulous country; the perfect itinerary that took in the history, the beaches, the hill country, wildlife and culture and delicious food. All at a pace that really felt we got under the skin of this beautiful place with the opportunity to get to know many local Sri Lankan's along the way. The children have declared it the best holiday ever and I would ...

All at a pace that really felt we got under the skin of this beautiful place with the opportunity to get to know many local Sri Lankan's along the way. The children have declared it the best holiday ever and I would tend to agree!

Rating for tour operator:

We have travelled with many different tour operators over the years but the service from Bushbaby and Abi Shaw the director, in particular, is outstanding. Nothing is too much trouble, her knowledge and advice are invaluable in planning the perfect trip, that is why we keep returning again and again to Bushbay to organize our family holidays.

South Africa - Wine, nature and safari

A bespoke three centre holiday starting in Franschhoek, then Hermanus lagoon and finishing on safari in Kwandwe. Breathtaking scenery, outstanding food and wine, second to none game viewing and great value.
