Epic Tanzania

Available to answer all of our questions no matter how small. Felt supported throughout the pre planning and the trip. Everything ran smoothly.

A holiday of a lifetime!

We went on a safari in South Africa, followed by a week on a beach in the Seychelles. All recommended and managed by Bushbaby travel. I can't recommend them highly enough and can't wait for my next holiday with them!

Rating for tour operator:

Bushbaby were fantastic. I was recommended them by a friend of mine. From the first call I had with them to discuss my requirements, to the detailed itinerary, they were easy and helpful to deal with. There was not a detail missing. And the holiday itself was perfect. It exceeded my expectations in every way.

Outstanding!!

8 nights of luxury across two game reserves (Welgevonden & Madikwe). Both were different to one another so it was great to experience the game drives over two different landscapes. The guides were knowledgeable and respectful of the animals at all times. Both of the lodges (Mhondoro & Tunnigi) were incredible with the staff thinking of everything you could possibly need as well as some stuff we didn't even know we needed!!

Bushbaby Travel selected two lodges based upon the specific requirements given to them. Both of the lodges were incredible and matched exactly what we were looking for and some! The entire booking process was easy and the communication around our needs and travel plans were exceptional giving me great confidence that everything would run smoothly, which it did!

Thailand adventure

We had an excellent holiday. We loved elephant hills, our guide was fantastic & all the activities great fun. The whole experience was so well organised & we felt looked after from start to finish.

We couldn’t fault them. Everything was organised for us, all the transport & transfers were on time. Our contact in koh samui was brilliant organising our trips & giving us local information

That's so wonderful to hear you had such a lovely time in Thailand (and we're especially thrilled you loved Elephant Hills), and that everything ran smoothly. We hope you have some unforgettable memories. Thank you for spending the time to feedback!

A wealth of new experiences and luxury

Arrived in Cape Town first. Got picked up at the plane, no wait a passport control and brought to our driver. Very experienced lady who gave us lots of ideas/tips. Ideal stay at the Waterfront. Went to safari in Madikwe staying in Last word Madikwe. What a place. Fantastic stay before flying to Mauritius. One week in a luxury hotel. Could not have been better arranged.

Our first trip to Japan (and will not be our last!)

3nts Tokyo, 3 nights Kyoto, 2 nights Osaka, 2 nights Hakone, 2 nights Tokyo. A magnificent introduction into a breath taking country. If we could change anything on the itinerary, we would add a night to Osaka and be just1 night in Hakone. That is mainly because we loved Osaka and was easy to travel to different places from there.

Highlights for us all (in no particular order), Food Markets, Cycling Tour in Kyoto, Our daughter (15 years old) spending the afternoon dressed in a kimono in Kyoto, Nara - a must day trip if you are in Osaka, the Japanese Culture, Osaka - just for the bonkers-ness of it all and last but not least, TOKYO - we just loved you!

Rating for tour operator:

This was our third trip booked with BushBaby travel and again, they came out top trumps! Alongside, IJT they helped plan our itinerary and advised us on trips, guides, accommodation etc - basically, everything that was needed for a brilliant holiday. From the moment we landed in Tokyo, everything was seamless, we couldn't have asked for more. Bravo to Abi and her team yet again!

Bushbaby Travel responded to this review on 05 May 2025:

We're so pleased you had such a great time in Japan, it certainly sounded action packed! We'll definitely be recommending a second night in Osaka too going forward so everyone can submerse themselves in the craziness! Thank you for such helpful feedback!

Wonderful Antigua!

We had a wonderful stay at St James Club in Antigua in April 2025. We loved the village feel of the resort which felt so safe and comfortable during our stay. The staff were wonderful and friendly, and there was such a relaxed vibe throughout. The resort is positioned on a gorgeous peninsula with two very different beaches - one calm with beautiful sunsets, one breezy with stunning views. The food was great and varied. We met many people ...

BushBaby Travel made the process of booking our holiday as smooth as ever. We booked nearly a year in advance to secure what we wanted; the team were flexible and patient finding the write combination of dates, flights and a resort that worked for us. They remained in contact throughout the year keeping us updated and offering advice for our trip. The benefit of having someone like BushBaby involved stood out when we had an issue (caused by flight operator) at the airport and it was sorted out within half hour meaning there was no impact to our trip. Eternally grateful for their support and planning our holidays. Highly recommend!
