Bushbaby Travel Traveller Reviews

We had 2 nights in Kuala Lumpur, onto Borneo for 4 nights to get a taste of the wildlife, a few days relaxing at a resort onto 4 amazing days in Singapore.

Bushbaby have once again tailor made the perfect trip for us, they respect our budget and use great hotels that were superbly located. Their in country partners did everything exactly to plan and provide that reassurance that if you needed support it would be there.

This trip was for my 70th birthday celebration with my husband. We started off in Kuala Lumpur for 3 nights - then flew to Borneo staying in Sepilok Nature resort for two nights from which we visited the orangutan rehab centre/ the sun bear conservation project and the proboscis monkey reserve. We then moved on to Kinabatangan Wetlands Resort for two nights - this time observing the wildlife from a boat on the river plus doing a night walk around the resort’s boardwalk. We then flew to Bunga Raya island beach resort for four nights relaxation.

We have travelled with Bushbaby Travel for 17 years and this was our 13th trip with them. Their expertise and attention to every little detail is second to none. The way they put a trip together taking into account all their clients passions is a real bonus plus the fact that every trip they have organised for us is problem free. We wouldn’t think of booking with anyone else for our extra special holidays.

We visited South Africa, Zambia and Botswana for a two week holiday as a family of four. Our game sightings on safari were the stuff of dreams and the hotels/camps were spot on for our needs/wants.

This is about our 7th holiday with this tour operator which is evidence of how highly we rate them. We have already recommended them to family and friends. Their advice is always direct and honest, based on their extensive personal knowledge of the countries, hotels and activities. This is supported by their knowledge of us and our likes/dislikes. They have earned our trust entirely and I can't imagine ever using another tour operator.

Hired a car and traveled around multiple destinations from Vancouver

Put together a great package tailored to what they know we like. Friendly and helpful with good timely information throughout.

This was a Covid delayed Golden Wedding celebration for our family. Mum and Dad, three children, three spouses and six grandchildren aged 4 to 13 years spent a glorious 2 weeks together in the southern hemisphere thanks to Bushbaby.

This was the second time we have holidayed with Bushbaby. It was even better than our first trip thanks to the enthusiasm, expertise and professionalism of Abi, Amy and their colleagues. Their knowledge of, and commitment to, the needs of families particularly those with young children once again ensured a wonderful experience for us all. With four separate family subgroups based all over the UK the logistics were complex but the whole holiday was achieved without any problems. Their logistical partners in South Africa and Seychelles were of the highest order and the safari lodge and the beach resort provided wonderful accommodation, incredible food and a standard of service second to none.

Excellent adventure and good recommendations on what to do. Could have done with a little more time to relax and slightly better weather, but some things can't be guaranteed! Mosquitoes caused some havoc, but the cocktails made up for them! Lovely friendly people and staff were excellent throughout all our destinations. Food was delicious. We had B&B booked and the breakfasts were plentiful and tasty. However, food and drink within the hotels were hugely expensive compared with local venues; which had the benefit of authenticity and local variety.

Fabulous. Incredibly helpful and informative during both the booking process and regarding information once our itineray was confirmed. Friendly and approachable. Some of the information regarding local places to eat was a little out of date, with some restaurants now closed, but the information was so helpful this was not of great significance overall.

4 days Cape Town, 3 days Madekwi Safari & 8 nights on Praslin.

Experienced and keen to deliver the right package at the right budget.

We are a family of 4 with 2 teenage children (aged 19 and 15) and travelled to Vietnam for our family holiday this year. After a 12 hour direct flight we arrived at our first destination Hanoi, where our truly amazing adventure began. We toured the city on a motorbike and ate delicious food before travelling to the countryside side in Ninh Binh. Our hotel Tam Coc Garden hotel was wonderful with a beautiful back drop of the mountains. We then moved onto Hoi An, as unfortunately our trip to Halong Bay had to be cancelled due to bad weather. Even though it was rainy season, it didn’t spoil our holiday at all with no more than about 5-10 minutes of rain per day. Hoi A was a magical place with all the lanterns and boats and we managed to squeeze in a local cookery class here with a basket boat ride which was fun. Again the food was excellent. Our next destination was Hue with its impressive Citadel and tombs ( can get a bit hot in the Summer but well worth the trip) after which we travelled South to Ho Chi Minh, the bustling capital city. HCMC was fascinating and slightly sobering with our visit to the war remnants museum and visit to the Cu a hi tunnels ( not for the claustrophobic ones- like me!- well worth seeing the tunnels even if you don’t go down them!) We then visited the Mekong delta to see how locals make their livelihoods on the fruit farms and on the boats. We were treated to one of the last few remaining authentic floating markets before returning to Ho Chi Minh and home again. We spent 2 1/2 weeks in this beautiful country with such delicious food and such friendly people. It certainly was a holiday never to forget.

We used Bushbaby travel to help organise our trip who were excellent. They helped with flights and the itinerary and always very responsive and knowledgeable about the trip. The operator in Vietnam was EXO travel. All the guides were very informative and very helpful especially when our Halong bay trip was cancelled.

Bush baby curated a multi centre tour based on my brief of a lone parent travelling with 3 teenage boys. I set a strict budget and they more than exceeded our brief and expectations. We travelled from the North to the South of the country in what was the perfect blend of action and relaxation.

Bush baby really listened to my requirements and budget. They planned the perfect itinerary.

Multicentre trip staying in 5 hotels with internal transfers. Excellent combination of nature, geography, thrills and relaxation.

Bushbaby we’re totally professional and supportive as this holiday was postponed then cancelled before finally going ahead in 2023. They were polite,friendly,quick to respond and made very perceptive suggestions to personalise the itinerary .
