Reviews of Bushbaby Travel










probably the best holiday we've ever had!
We had a week on safari at two different lodges in Botswana , then 4 nights in Cape Town followed by 3 nights in Franschhoek.

Bushbaby Travel were extremely helpful. They organised a bespoke trip around our requirements and were particularly helpful in suggesting hotels in South Africa that we might like. The ones they chose for us were outstanding and exactly what we wanted. All the arrangements, transfers etc. worked like clockwork and we were extremely happy with the whole trip
We're so happy you had such a special trip, thank you for the feedback!





Finally we got there!
Amazing trip to Namibia, everything went to plan and was worth the 2 year Covid wait. We enjoyed so many wonderful sights and had no issues with the sometimes tricky roads. Emily at Bushbaby had given us all the knowledge that was needed to drive in Namibia and still have a relaxing experience and informative experience.

Fantastic Maldives holiday with excellent snorkelling
A brilliant 10 days holiday staying in Filitehyo in the Maldives. A beautiful Maldives island a sea plane away from Male. Beautiful sandy beaches, and excellent snorkelling and diving. The resort staff and food are excellent. Stayed in a beach bungalow right on the beach.

BushBabies pulled together an excellent itinerary for us, and sourced the holiday at a good price with full flexibility to amend holiday until 6 weeks before we travelled when flights had to be confirmed. All travel and transfers went without a hitch, and their local partner advised on things such as local covid rules and how to buy wi-fi locally.





Bliss in Mauritius ...
12 nights at the One and Only St Geran in Mauritius.

Bushbaby are and always have been 5 star tour operators and we have had many holidays arranged by them. It must have been very trying to keep having to move holidays because of Covid (ours was moved three times) but they seamlessly did it. Their response time to any query is almost immediate and nothing is too much trouble. I have recommended them to several friends already and we wouldn't use anyone else for long haul travel.
Thank you so much Ailsa, so pleased you finally made your long awaited holiday!





Good last minute break to Fujairah
We booked a last-minute week's stay at the Intercontinental Fujairah. It proved a good-value option that ticked nearly all our boxes. The hotel is a pretty resort situated right on a big beach. The rooms were well appointed with all the mod-cons you'd expect from a high-end resort. The resort facilities were good but a little tired in places and there was maintenance going on during our stay meaning the main pool was closed for 3 days. We ...
We booked a last-minute week's stay at the Intercontinental Fujairah. It proved a good-value option that ticked nearly all our boxes. The hotel is a pretty resort situated right on a big beach. The rooms were well appointed with all the mod-cons you'd expect from a high-end resort. The resort facilities were good but a little tired in places and there was maintenance going on during our stay meaning the main pool was closed for 3 days. We stayed on a half board basis. The food in the main restaurant was good but Ramadan rules meant it was local cuisine every night rather than the usual rotation of themes so it did get a bit "samey" after a couple of nights. We ate at Drift which was excellent but the half board doesn't allow for dine around or a credit towards your meal there making it an expensive option.

Bushbaby always provides an excellent, highly personalised service. They take the time to listen to what you're looking for in a holiday and go above and beyond to ensure they deliver it. We booked last minute this time so were struggling to find availability in our first choice resorts so Bushbaby were able to recommend an alternative and we trusted their recommendation - it didn't disappoint! As always, all the arrangements were faultless.
Thank you Emma!

Over and beyond a great service. Helpful, patient with key pointers and tips





Absolute paradise
10 days on our favourite Maldivian island - Constance Halaveli- where laid back luxury is a specialty. Perfect snorkelling/service/food/ weather. This was our third stay and hopefully not our last.

Have used Bush Baby travel for many years. Always feel very confident in their service.
So pleased you had a lovely return to the island!





Chilled beach and exciting city
Six nights of chill at OBLU by Atmosphere at Helengeli. Phenomenal reef and unobtrusive luxury. Three nights at the Atlantis on the Palm, Dubai. Did not like Dubai that much but it certainly delivers and our grandchildren were thrilled by it.

Bush Baby Travel know their destinations really well and take care to get to know you. They’ve never failed to deliver exactly what we wanted. Not cheap but very good value for money.





Wonderful ‘fly & flop’ holiday in the sun
We spent 10 days at the One & Only Palace in Dubai having flown BA. From initial enquiry, booking, ongoing advice and then following up whilst we were away to check we were happy was brilliant. Fabulous service and very personal.

Really helpful. We haven’t used a tour operator in recent years, but having them on hand to keep us up to date with travel restrictions and guidelines was really useful.
