Bushbaby are the best travel operator we’ve ever travelled with. They offer a truly bespoke service and always go above and beyond to make sure arrangements work perfectly, not easy in these continuing challenging times. Their recommendations are always spot on for our family.
Thank you so much! We're so pleased you finally made it to the Maldives and had a wonderful time!

A superb fully inclusive Greek beach holiday
We stayed for a week in Ikos Aria on the island of Kos. It's a beach resort. The staff are superb nothing is too much trouble. Our "host" Margaret was excellent. We toured, participated in water sports, relaxed and ate and drank very well for the week. A very relaxing holiday.

Bushbaby are very attentive. Listen to what you have asked and do their best to accommodate. They are all very very knowledgable about all the varying types of holidays they provide. I cannot fault them This is not the first time we have used them and it will not be the last.
Thanks Jo, we're so pleased you had a relaxing stay at IKOS!

Patient, really understood our needs, flexible to all my changes. Created an itinerary that met our needs and provided the tailoring that made it a personal and perfect holiday
We are so pleased you had an amazing time in Costa Rica with all the activities and wildlife!





The perfect location for adventure and complete relaxation
Our Holiday incorporated 3 areas in Thailand, Bangkok, Surat Thani (Elephant hills) and Koi Samui. This allowed us to experience various experiences of city life, culture, nature and adventure before our final destination which allowed for a complete recharge and relaxation.

Our tour operator bushbaby travel was amazing. Abi responded extremely promptly to my initial enquiry and then from there onwards she provided information and suggestions on holiday ideas to suit our needs.
We're so pleased you had such a fun but relaxing family adventure and hope that it is the subject of family discussions for many years to come!





Bucket list holiday destination - truly beautiful
Mauritius is a lovely island, people are friendly, scenery is stunning and the food is good. This is all reflected in the 2 hotels we stayed at: Lux Grand Baie and Lux Le Morne. Everyone made us feel so welcome and were happy to chat. The weather was amazing during their winter time and the new experiences were wonderful - dolphins, turtles, tortoises, botanical gardens, temples and mountains.

Bushbaby are experienced in the travel industry and we value their knowledge of countries, hotels, tours and weather. They are very responsive and helpful with all our questions and queries. And the documentation packs they send out are very helpful - including visa and Covid information.
So pleased you had a great visit to Mauritius! Thank you for entrusting plans to us!





Exciting and luxurious in equal measure
My husband, myself and 19 year-old son had a safari break in two halves - first spending 5 days at Ant's Nest on a riding safari - best way to get close to the animals (no elephant or lion to worry about). Then 6 days at Jaci's Safari Lodge on a 4x4 safari with private expert guide to see the big-5 and many other fascinating game viewing sights.

Bushbaby Travel are experts in organising this type of holiday. We've used them consistently to organise our safaris for the past 16 years - since our son was a toddler. They have great relationships with the lodges and good contacts in the region. Their advice and guidance is excellent.
So pleased you had another great safari, I can't believe it's been 16 years!!





Lovely relaxing European Break
We had a wonderful time away in the latest O&O hotel to open. There are definitely some teething problems with the hotel being so new but I don't think this is anything that can't be ironed out the longer they are open. The hotel is beautiful and there is lots to do in the nearby town. I would say the restaurants are lacking in variety, it is a shame there isn't a buffet option or something more generic as there are only 3 specific dining options ...

I would say the restaurants are lacking in variety, it is a shame there isn't a buffet option or something more generic as there are only 3 specific dining options so you aren't really encouraged to come back more than once. The gym and spa facilities are exceptional and we really enjoyed making the most of all the facilities and morning yoga classes. The staff are wonderful as ever and we were really well looked after. I would highly recommend doing a boat trip as the scenery is so beautiful, we will definitely be back.

Bush Baby were very helpful and accommodating as always, making sure we had everything we needed in the run up to the trip. They are always very helpful with communicating with the hotel and we had an issue with the hotel during our stay which they sorted out almost immediately for us meaning we did not have to worry about this and could enjoy the rest of the trip. We will continue booking all of our O&O trips through them!
Thank you Amy for your feedback!





African Adventure
Well worth the two year wait to go on our trip of a lifetime to South Africa and Zimbabwe. We spent four nights in Cape Town taking in the V&A Waterfront, Camps Bay at sunset and Seapoint for sundowners. The first highlight of the holiday was a day trip to Gaansbai to go out whale watching on the sea. The huge swell made you feel really alive and we saw some fantastic sealife. The next highlight was a half peninsular tour on a 1938 BMW motorcycle ...

The next highlight was a half peninsular tour on a 1938 BMW motorcycle and sidecar. including the amazing Chapman Peak drive. A trip up Table Mountain to see where we had been topped off a brilliant visit to Cape Town. After a flight to Pretoria we joined Rovos Rail for a four night, three day journey into Zimbabwe. The food, wine and service were all excellent - unbelievable considering we were in renovated 1920's - very elegant -carriages! Excursions to Matabo and Hwange National Parks were fascinating and we saw plenty of wildlife. The jewel in the crown was arriving at The Victoria Falls Hotel where we spent two nights. It felt as if we were in a dream. The hotel is fabulous and the stunning setting overlooking the falls in the distance was breathtaking. It almost felt like being in a zoo at times. A helicopter ride and guided tour of the Falls afterwards completed the visit. Wonderful!!

We never really felt that we were on our own. Even if Abi was out of the office she still seemed to be looking out for us. Bushbaby were brilliant and we would wholeheartedly recommend them. They did everything they could to make the holiday work like clockwork. All the transfer drivers were very helpful and on time.
I'm so happy you had a great trip!
