Borneo family adventure

A family holiday with 2 teenagers, a mixture of beach relaxation and jungle trekking. The most amazing wildlife. A holiday of a lifetime

Rating for tour operator:

This is the second amazing family holiday we have booked with Bushbaby. The first was a South African safari and then this trip to Borneo. The team at Bushbaby listen to your needs, concerns, and budget and then create a bespoke plan for you. This trip changed many times due to Covid and i even contemplated a change of destination to Costa Rica and Emily re created a whole new itinerary. Nothing is too much trouble for this team. The support in the planning was incredible ,always available for phone calls and emails , and with their own experience of a country it was so much more helpful. The internal transfers were slick and i felt so well looked after whilst we were in Borneo and so reassured that the team were available. I think the key is they listen to you and have the experience and patience to create a holiday that won't disappoint. I can't thank them enough, teenagers are hard to please and family time is precious, they have created memories that will last forever.

Costa Rica 2022

We had a multi-location holiday in Costa Rica for myself, my partner and my two grown up children. The locations we stayed in were amazing and we were able to see a lot of the wildlife that we had wanted to see. The hotels were fabulous. We were also enjoyed activities such as white water rafting, swimming and zip-wiring.

Our tour operator were enormously helpful in putting the holiday together, supporting in the run up to the holiday when a health condition jeopardised the entire trip and sorted out issues associated with flight delays and cancellations at the start. I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

We are so pleased you had a great trip, just so sorry that the outbound flights were problematic, but glad you feel it was all worth it!

South Africa safari and Mauritius

We spent a week in South Africa starting at Sun City to acclimatise and then to Thakadu for safari, this was amazing and absolutely what I had hoped for. We had an overnight stop at Glen Afric before flying to Mauritius for some rest and relaxation, and it certainly did that. The whole trip was fantastic.

This was a trip that was planned for 2020 and happened in 2022, Byshbaby Travel worked tirelessly to pull it off at the same prices and with the same level of interest from them or the 2 year delay.

Two family holiday to multiple destinations in Costa Rica

Over the course of the 2 week holiday we visited 5 locations spending between 2-4 nights in each place We had a mixture of wildlife, adventure and beach activities, which offered something for everyone in our party (2 families, with teenagers/young adults aged between 17-21). We had excellent service at every destination and people in both hotels, guides and transfer operators were extremely welcoming and helpful.

Bush Baby were recommended to us by friends. when our planned trip to Sri Lanka fell through. They worked hard at short notice in putting together a tailored experience to meet our needs using their extensive expertise. They responded to any queries we had promptly working alongside their excellent travel partners in country. Their recommendations for activities at each destination were really helpful. The holiday went without a hitch and was a fantastic experience enjoyed by us all.

We have had 4 big annual family holidays organised by them. They know the sort of accommodation we like and have put together wonderful itineraries for each country. Minimum of fuss and quick to respond. Really helpful.
