A great time in the USA

We loved San Francisco and the apartment there, the Dude Ranch was also fabulous, > the wedding went without a hitch and New York was amazing.

Each time I’ve used Bushbaby it's been a great experience and I’ve been utterly satisfied. They are knowledgeable about the destinations and the accommodation. They respond promptly and efficiently to queries and talk through different options in a thoroughly helpful way. They do everything I want them to do and they do it really well

Family holiday to South Africa

Just back from on amazing family holiday to South Africa. One week in the South West (Cape Town and Grootbos) followed by a few days safari at Pilanesberg and Madikwe. Amazing landscapes, good game viewing, excellent hotels and food.

We never thought that we could do a South African holiday (including safari) with our two young boys (aged 4 and 7) but Bushbaby Travel made it happen by putting together a tailor made, family friendly holiday.

Thailand

Very well organised. Good balance of activities. Anantara Elephant Camp and Baan Taling Ngam, in particular, were great resorts.

Family Tour of Sri Lanka

We have just returned from 3 weeks travelling around Sri Lanka with our 3 children. What a fabulous country; the perfect itinerary that took in the history, the beaches, the hill country, wildlife and culture and delicious food. All at a pace that really felt we got under the skin of this beautiful place with the opportunity to get to know many local Sri Lankan's along the way. The children have declared it the best holiday ever and I would ...

All at a pace that really felt we got under the skin of this beautiful place with the opportunity to get to know many local Sri Lankan's along the way. The children have declared it the best holiday ever and I would tend to agree!

Rating for tour operator:

We have travelled with many different tour operators over the years but the service from Bushbaby and Abi Shaw the director, in particular, is outstanding. Nothing is too much trouble, her knowledge and advice are invaluable in planning the perfect trip, that is why we keep returning again and again to Bushbay to organize our family holidays.

South Africa - Wine, nature and safari

A bespoke three centre holiday starting in Franschhoek, then Hermanus lagoon and finishing on safari in Kwandwe. Breathtaking scenery, outstanding food and wine, second to none game viewing and great value.

Vietnam and Cambodia tour

Everything worked very smoothly and we were never kept waiting for any tour guides or excursions, the hotel selection was top notch and staff very attentive. Tour guides were willing to make changes to the schedule depending on how we were feeling/weather conditions etc. A fantastic experience

Rating for tour operator:

We had a good idea of what we wanted to do but made a lot of changes to the schedule as we went along, Bush Baby were very helpful and accomodating in making those changes and providing on the ground advice from contacts in Vietnam about the options. Everything was booked correctly and worked perfectly upon arrival without incident. Smooth operators.

A fun and relaxing break.

The tranquility of Zighy Bay and the excellent service from the staff make this holiday a no brainer for a family looking for winter sun. The beach is beautiful, the plunge and main pool heated (a must!) and the restaurants go out of their way for children. 5 stars.
