mind blowing

Everything was amazing and in many cases new to us. The warmth and generosity of the people. The very good food - everywhere we went. The cultural conditions that ensure everything works so well. The street fashion. high quality design and excitement of discovering new neighbourhoods. The history and the natural environment were stunning. The costs where not as high as we thought they would be.

Rating for tour operator:

They did everything extremely well. From the planning and prep before the trip to the organisation in the country and the communication during the trip when needed. The guides were all of a very high standard and everything worked as per our plan when we were in the country. They made the quite complicated a lot simpler for us to manage.

Amazing

We had a wonderful time. Two weeks away but it felt like longer in a good way! Three mini holidays within the trip - Cape Town, Safari and then a week on the beach. Wonderful!

Rating for tour operator:

We haven't used such a personal operator before but will definitely be doing this again. Our holiday felt individual with all the extra little bits added. Really easy to communicate - always happy to respond to my questions. Very knowledgable - you realised they have been there before and are giving their personal recommendations.

We're so very pleased you had such a fantastic trip! This is one of our very favourite itineraries, as we agree, like 3 contrasting adventures rolled in to one!

Safari and Beach

Excellent 3 night safari, 2 nights city break in Joburg and 7 nights on beach in Seychelles. Good accommodation, poor weather in Seychelles and very expensive to eat.

Rating for tour operator:

We have used Bushbaby travel several times over the last few years. They have organised holidays for us in various places in South Africa. Very helpful and knowledgable about the area so able to put a ‘package’ together for us. All our trips have gone smoothly and we have had a wonderful time. I would highly recommend them .

Thank you so much, we're really grateful to have had the opportunity to put together your safari adventures and so pleased you enjoyed your time, especially at wonderful Jaci's!

Orlando, Ecuador including Galapagos

Great and varied holiday. Started with Orlando, which our teenage kids have been campaigning for for years! The advised fast passes were worth every Penny/cent! Ecuador was fantastic and interesting. Galapagos also brilliant. Accommodations were great.

Singapore and Thailand

Excellent holiday. Main reasons were the people, the locations, the accommodation (particularly Dewa and Bandara), activities and food. Would absolutely recommend the Bandara - the pool and the location (Fishermans Village) in particular are excellent. the only downside was the food wasnt as great as everywhere else around it. We also really enjoyed the lake at the rainforest with Elephant Hills. The boys spent hours just diving in the ...

Would absolutely recommend the Bandara - the pool and the location (Fishermans Village) in particular are excellent. the only downside was the food wasnt as great as everywhere else around it. We also really enjoyed the lake at the rainforest with Elephant Hills. The boys spent hours just diving in the lake and kayaking. The staff were exceptional.

Rating for tour operator:

Great advice, well considered itinerary and fast response times. Everything was as described. Made the whole process interesting and enjoyable.

The kids say it's the best holiday we've ever had!

We spent ten all-inclusive nights at Lux* on South Ari Atoll, a true gem of a resort. Phenomenal service from all staff, fantastic food, and a wonderfully relaxing time for the entire family (indeed, what any wise doctor would prescribe for those worn thin by the daily grind). We spend lots of time in azure waters under blue skies - snorkelling, scuba-diving (the Euro-Divers team there are brilliant), paddle-boarding, strolling the sands barefoot, ...

We spent ten all-inclusive nights at Lux* on South Ari Atoll, a true gem of a resort. Phenomenal service from all staff, fantastic food, and a wonderfully relaxing time for the entire family (indeed, what any wise doctor would prescribe for those worn thin by the daily grind). We spend lots of time in azure waters under blue skies - snorkelling, scuba-diving (the Euro-Divers team there are brilliant), paddle-boarding, strolling the sands barefoot, finding space for thoughts. The library on the atoll is well worth a visit if you need something to read whilst sprawled on a sun lounger. We left with a single regret: we never found the time to enjoy a trip to the spa. Well, that and the fact that we had to leave!

Rating for tour operator:

Bushbaby are great! They came recommended to us after another operator messed us around, and I am forever grateful for that recommendation. Abi, Emily, and the rest of the team were incredibly accommodating whenever we moved the goalposts (which I hope wasn't too often). When we started thinking about a trip to the Maldives, we didn't have a particular destination in mind. But their recommendation of Lux* was precisely what we were looking for. And there was zero stress around travel and bookings. Our only requirement was turning up on time. Thank-you Bushbaby!

Ah we're so pleased to hear you had an amazing holiday at LUX* and hope the memories stay with you for many years to come! It was a pleasure to help and really good to hear you found the booking process stress free, that's what we like to hear!
