Beautiful family holiday in Croatia

Sun Gardens offered us great family accommodation for a three generation holiday. Everyone was happy with the big array of activities, little beach and warm sea. Dubrovnik old town via the sea taxi was a highlight!

In-depth knowledge about the destination including tips that were real gems. Efficient and very helpful when we had to unexpectedly change plans in the last few weeks. I have travelled with Bushbaby Travel before many times and I will undoubtedly again.

African Safari and Seychelles

We started with a 3 night safai at Jaci's tree houses in Madikwe Game Reserve and it was absolutley fantastic. Luxury, yet very friendly and welcoming accomodation and staff, superb food and amazing game drives. We stayed a night at the Southern Sun airport hotel and again had a very comfortable night and delicious food. We spent the next 6 nights at the Savoy in the Seychelles. It is brilliantly located on the beach and has a wonderful pool...

Every arrangement, and there were many for htis holiday, went without a hitch. From starting the booking process to the time we went on holiday, they accomodated our every need, kept to a budget, recommended and suggested things we had not thought of, answered any questions I had without delay and were just absolutely superb. You do not need to worry about any of the arrangemmnets when you book with Bushbaby, they really do a superb job.

Multi centre safari in Botswana

Fantastic jeep safaris at Savute; fascinating trip to the Tsolido Hills to see stone age art; amazing camp setting at Oddballs in the Delta, with hippos just in front of the tent and incredible walking safaris

Rating for tour operator:

Our trip included accommodation at 3 separate camps, run by two different companies and 8 flights in total (4 international and 4 small plane transfers within Botswana. The whole thing went like clockwork. We could never have organised a trip like that ourselves.

Cape Town and Madikwe Safari

We are a family of 4 (inc kids of 13 and 10 years old). We spent 4 nights in Cape Town staying at the Lawhill Appartments on the V&A waterfront. The accommodation was clean and comfortable and a great location for accessing restaurants and shops. We had a car hire for that time which gave us the flexibility to explore further afield e.g. Cape of Good Hope. We then took an internal flight to Jo'berg and had a private road transfer to Madikwe ...

We then took an internal flight to Jo'berg and had a private road transfer to Madikwe where we stayed at Jaci's lodges for 3 nights. We had booked the Nare suite which was the jewel in the crown. We had an amazing experience there.... the staff, the accommodation, the food, the safari. Nothing to fault. It was a shame to come back home.

Rating for tour operator:

Bushbaby Travel came recommended by a friend and it was a good recommendation. Abi, Amy and the rest of the team were knowledgeable and really helpful and made the planning and decision making process really straightforward. The information shared was clear so the trip went very smoothly and there were no unpleasant surprises.

We're so very pleased you had a great time, especially on safari, and were happy with the recommendation! It's been a pleasure to help you explore such a special destination as a family.

Fantastic family safari

We had a wonderful two locations holiday - 5 days in Cape Town and 4 days on the South Africa/Botswana border at Madikwe. Bushbaby Travel organised a wonderful holiday. Great accomodation and an absolutely fabulous safari. We saw everything we could have seen - and one or two things we didn't even know about (African wild dogs and genets). Jaci's safari lodge was a particular favourite with us all. Stunning setting, wonderful animals, knowledgeable ...

Rating for tour operator:

Bushbaby were really good at understanding what we wanted to see/do - but also our concerns about travelling (we are not experienced travellers). They made everything so easy and everything went without a hitch. We couldn't have asked for more.

Rating for tour operator:

Bushbaby Travel was an excellent tour operator. At all times we were informed and kept abreast of all elements of our trip, which had been expertly put together and planned by people who really know their area. A last minute cancellation was dealt with brilliantly and we felt supported and encouraged at every stage of our journey. Hugely recommended.
