Superb as always

From the bespoke booking to the very end our South African holiday was 5 star all the way. We made six different stages from Jo’berg to Port Elizabeth to Plettenberg Bay to Outdsthoorn to Stellenbosch and ending in Bantry Bay. Every hotel and game lodge were five star all the way. Bushbaby’s suggestions for each stop were excellent. Our car hire and flights were all perfect too.

From start to finish Bushbaby Travel take all your needs into account and put together trips of a lifetime. We have been travelling with them since 2006 - 10 different trips in three different countries should say it all. We have already booked Sri Lanka for December 2020 with them.

Family Christmas on safari in South AFrica

It was the most AMAZING experience for the ten of us (3 generations) and we would recommend both lodges to anyone. We had incredible drives, seeing so many wonderful sightings of animals and birds at Madikwe and then riding horses amongst the game at Antshill and even swimming bareback in a lake. The food, service and comfort was exceptional throughout. A phenomenal holiday which exceeded all our expectations.

Bushbaby and Amy, in particular, were marvellous. We had personal contact with her during the planning stages and she could not have been more approachable or helpful in planning the perfect itinerary for us. We would certainly go with them again if we were to plan another big holiday.

We have travelled with Bushbaby for 7-8 years over which time they have developed an exceptional understanding of our family's needs. Their attention to detail is excellent and the service is always personal.

Making the best memories for my babies first holiday.

Absolutely loved Mauritius, from the super friendly people to the gorgeous hotel. everything was perfect. I was a bit nervous about travelling with a new born but bush baby took control of everything. The hotel made whatever my baby wanted for dinner every evening and was very baby friendly. All the staff doted over her and made it a real relaxing and stress free holiday.

Just amazing, I could not have asked for more. Genuinely the best tour operator for organising family holidays. A huge thank you to Emily for everything. Emily knew what it is like travelling with a little one, at the time of booking i was pregnant and had no idea about children and Emily recommended night flights. At the time i wasn't bothered but went with her advise, however now, i was SOO grateful as it was perfect when flying with a baby. All the little details. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish, from booking the holiday to when we were away. The hotel, location and everything was perfect. Thank you bushbaby. I will certainly be using you again in the near future.

Fabulous 10-day tour of Oman

We stayed in stunning hotels and enjoyed a whole variety of experiences. During our travels we looked around souks, mosques, and museums, rode camels and quad bikes in the desert, hiked in the mountains and swam in a wadi, went scuba diving, watched dolphins and relaxed on a glorious white sand beach. It's a holiday that I would definitely recommend to friends.

We outlined what we thought we'd like to do in Oman and Bushbaby very quickly put together an itinerary which stitched together our wish list perfectly. Our travel documentation was comprehensive and once were were on the ground in Oman everything worked like clockwork.

Wonderfully relaxing

We stayed at the Anantara Al Baleed resort in Salalah Oman. The hotel was excellent and the private villas were spacious and very comfortable

Namibia Adventure

We spent two weeks driving around Namibia staying at a variety of locations. I have never been anywhere so quiet and at the moment so dry.. The people were very friendly and scenery stunning. It is obvious tourism is very important to the country and I would recommend people visit now as once discovered it is going to become increasingly popular!

Bush Baby are lovely to deal with, efficient, friendly and knowledgeable. We are planning a trip to Botswana next year and will definitely use them again

We are so pleased you had an amazing trip. Botswana will be an incredibly comparison with the waters of the Delta!
