Zambia

We had two full days at David Livingstone Lodge seeing the falls, white water rafting and sunset cruising on the Zambezi. This was followed by 5 full days in Flatdogs Lodge at South Luangwa. Both locations were fabulous and the experiences in both were better than we could have imagined.

I provided Bushbaby with the destinations, timings and budget. They did the rest and organised everything. For us it was effortless. They were friendly and experienced. They were a great find.

Amazing family safari and beach trip!

We spent 3 weeks travelling in South Africa and Mauritius. We started in the stunning Jaci's Safari Lodge in the Madikwe Reserve before heading down to Cape Town to explore the city. From there we headed over to Stanford for whale watching and on to Franschoek to sample the wines. We then set off for Mauritius to finish with a week on the beach.

We have been delighted with the service we have received from Bushbaby Travel from start to finish. They really took the time to help us plan a completely bespoke trip that took account of everything we'd asked for. The actual holiday was every bit as good as they promised it would be, all the arrangements ran like clockwork and the accommodation exceeded our expectations. I know our family will treasure the memories we've made for years to come. We can't thank them enough!

Awesome

We travelled to Thailand staying in three locations. Two islands and one national park. The hotels and beaches were incredible and the national park stunning. We had an amazing time in a beautiful country.

Amy was professional, helpful in giving us advice and provided all the information we needed about travelling to South Africa. I would recommend Amy and Bushbaby travel to anyone planning an African safari.

Oman - stay at the Al Bustan Palace

We have stayed at this hotel before and it is still excellent; one of a small number of hotels that is sufficiently good to return to for the hotel alone. A very pleasant week for us and our 11 year old daughter, who loved it.

The Namibian desert and the South African Garden Route - a wonderful holiday!

We spent a week in Namibia, self drive, with three days in a desert lodge and then three days in Swakopmund on the coast. Next we flew to Cape Town, where we spent a week in Stellenbosch to attend a relative's wedding. Finally we drove the Garden Route via Oudsthoorn and Plettenberg Bay to Port Elizabeth, finishing up with three days on a Private Game Reserve near Grahamstown.

Bush Baby Travel were recommended to us by a friend. Every aspect of the holiday was to our complete satisfaction - the planning process, dealing with queries, the final itinerary, the actual travel arrangements, the accommodation options, all the organisational details. Flawless.

We travelled around to 4 locations and had a fantastic experience. We ate beautiful food, met such lovely Sr Lankn people and thought the whole place was just gorgeous!
