Family holiday to South Africa and Mauritius

Wow! What can I say. We had a multi-generational holiday with ages ranging from 9-72. Bushbaby Travel recommended Ants Hill, Tuningi Safari Lodge and One &Only Saint Geran. Each was stunning in their own right. We loved the intimacy and personal service at Ants Hill. The horse riding safari was magical. Tuningi was pure luxury. Amazing accommodation, beautiful food and highly skilled rangers who delivered game drives beyond our wildest dreams...

Lovely accommodation, wonderful choice of food and great facilities, especially the water sports. Would love to do it all over again.

We have used Bushbaby Travel for a number of years. They know what we like and the fact that Abi and her team have visited all the hotels they use mean we get an honest and trusted reccomendation. Every little detail is taken care of, even internal transfers, so we don’t need to worry about anything. All this and a great price is why we will keep coming back to Bushbaby Travel.

Amazing Holiday touring Sri Lanka

We spent 12 days travelling round Sri Lanka, 2 adults and 2 12 year olds, enjoying a huge variety of experiences. The hotels were all wonderful and the accommodation ideal for a family, the travel arrangements were perfect with our own driver who was professional but really friendly and full of local information to give us a much better feel for Sri Lanka, its history, culture and the country today. Life long memories were made.

Luxury and adventure

We took our grandchildren to Thailand. Elephant Hills was an exceptional jungle experience. Washing elephants, swimming in the lake and wading up a jungle stream pushed all their buttons. They loved the luxury and pool at Anatara. The proximity to Bophut Fisherman's village and its walking market gave them a manageable flavour of Thailand.

Ecuador and the Galapagos

A tour of Ecuador, starting in Quito before travelling to the cloud forest and the on to the high Andes; an amazing and hugely diverse country. We then spent a week in the Galapagos on a boat travelling to a number of different islands. We saw so much and got to swim with dolphins, penguins, sea lions, sea turtles and thousands of fish, to name a few things. It was an absolutely fantastic trip for all ages.

Costa Rica Extravaganza

This was a multi centre family holiday to Cost Rica. We moved around through four sites from Northern Pacific delta, central volcano, cloud forest and southern beach. Itinerary was good with generally excellent hotels - one suited us less but the local agents were very helpful in arranging an early transfer to the next stop. There was something for everyone at each site although each member of the family clearly had a favourite stop.

A great family adventure in the Indian Ocean.

We stayed on the stunning beach at Flic en Flac, on the west of Mauritius. Due to the reef it is a safe beach for families. We used paddle boards ,kayaks, a pedlo and went snorkelling daily. The fish, sea creatures and coral were amazing. We explored the amazing scenery in the south west including The Black River Gorge, Grand Bassin, Chamarel falls and seven colours, as well as swimming with dolphins.. We went to Casela and La Vanille animal ...

The fish, sea creatures and coral were amazing. We explored the amazing scenery in the south west including The Black River Gorge, Grand Bassin, Chamarel falls and seven colours, as well as swimming with dolphins.. We went to Casela and La Vanille animal parks where we fed giant tortoises and giraffes as well as enjoying a fun zip wire. We then spent a few days at St, Gilles, Reunion Island. A beautiful lagoon where the water is so clear. The scenery was out of this world and it is worth the drive to explore the two volcanoes. Piton de la Fournaise (active volcano) where the surrounding area looks Martian and the three cirques from the dormant volcano which are dramatic, green and have beautiful waterfalls. Kelonia, the sea turtle observatory is also worth a visit. We had an amazing time, full of wonderful memories and explored a stunningly beautiful place so different to our home.

Prompt efficient service from the airport to our hotels and good advice provided for day tours.
