Singapore and Thailand

Excellent holiday. Main reasons were the people, the locations, the accommodation (particularly Dewa and Bandara), activities and food. Would absolutely recommend the Bandara - the pool and the location (Fishermans Village) in particular are excellent. the only downside was the food wasnt as great as everywhere else around it. We also really enjoyed the lake at the rainforest with Elephant Hills. The boys spent hours just diving in the ...

Would absolutely recommend the Bandara - the pool and the location (Fishermans Village) in particular are excellent. the only downside was the food wasnt as great as everywhere else around it. We also really enjoyed the lake at the rainforest with Elephant Hills. The boys spent hours just diving in the lake and kayaking. The staff were exceptional.

Rating for tour operator:

Great advice, well considered itinerary and fast response times. Everything was as described. Made the whole process interesting and enjoyable.

The kids say it's the best holiday we've ever had!

We spent ten all-inclusive nights at Lux* on South Ari Atoll, a true gem of a resort. Phenomenal service from all staff, fantastic food, and a wonderfully relaxing time for the entire family (indeed, what any wise doctor would prescribe for those worn thin by the daily grind). We spend lots of time in azure waters under blue skies - snorkelling, scuba-diving (the Euro-Divers team there are brilliant), paddle-boarding, strolling the sands barefoot, ...

We spent ten all-inclusive nights at Lux* on South Ari Atoll, a true gem of a resort. Phenomenal service from all staff, fantastic food, and a wonderfully relaxing time for the entire family (indeed, what any wise doctor would prescribe for those worn thin by the daily grind). We spend lots of time in azure waters under blue skies - snorkelling, scuba-diving (the Euro-Divers team there are brilliant), paddle-boarding, strolling the sands barefoot, finding space for thoughts. The library on the atoll is well worth a visit if you need something to read whilst sprawled on a sun lounger. We left with a single regret: we never found the time to enjoy a trip to the spa. Well, that and the fact that we had to leave!

Rating for tour operator:

Bushbaby are great! They came recommended to us after another operator messed us around, and I am forever grateful for that recommendation. Abi, Emily, and the rest of the team were incredibly accommodating whenever we moved the goalposts (which I hope wasn't too often). When we started thinking about a trip to the Maldives, we didn't have a particular destination in mind. But their recommendation of Lux* was precisely what we were looking for. And there was zero stress around travel and bookings. Our only requirement was turning up on time. Thank-you Bushbaby!

Ah we're so pleased to hear you had an amazing holiday at LUX* and hope the memories stay with you for many years to come! It was a pleasure to help and really good to hear you found the booking process stress free, that's what we like to hear!

Excellent family adventure and exploration holiday

We spent an action-packed 2.5 weeks split between Peru and Ecuador, with some of us hiking the one day Inca trail and all of us exploring Macchu Picchu and other Inca sites, as well as visiting a local Andean community. Our time in Ecuador was just as fun, with a 5 day Galapagos cruise and time to explore other parts of mainland Ecuador. We all thoroughly enjoyed it.

Bushbaby helped us put together an action-packed and fun itinerary. We had some idea of where we wanted to go, but Bushbaby helped put that into a plan and arranged some excellent accommodation and guides. Transfers and other arrrangements were all smooth, and Bushbaby also recommended some additional places to stay which we all loved.

Namibian Self Drive Tour

Fourteen night self drive tour in Namibia starting/finishing at Windhoek. 7 stops, moving on every two days. Namib desert, Skeleton coast, Damaraland, Etosha National Park and AfriCat foundation on the way back to Windhoek. A great variety for a taste of Namibia.

This is the 3rd holiday I have booked with this particular tour operator because they have my complete trust. Each holiday has been smooth running and to the exact standard we requested. The itinerary was well thought out and worked seamlessly.

Thailand Trip, first time in Asia

Absolutely loved every minute of it, just the right amount of activity versus relaxation and suited all of us (14 and 16 year olds). Favourite but at a push was Elephant Hills but it was all a Amazing!

Exciting safari holiday for the whole family.

We travelled as a three generational family to Zambia and Zimbabwe. In Zimbabwe we stayed in Hwange National Park which is truly wild. The lodge was very good and the food likewise. We had excellent animal sightings including three lionesses around a water hole with their cubs. A highlight. Zambia was also wonderful but in a much more relaxing way. We stayed in the farmhouse at Waterrberry with a beautiful grounds and a pool overlooking the Zambezi...

With six of us aged from 11 to 72 and very different needs and expectation the holiday was brilliant for all of us.

Rating for tour operator:

Bushbaby Travel are fantastic. They know their holidays really well, always helpful and go out of the way to provide what you want. Often one of the team have stayed in the hotel suggested. They are also very open about what is and is not possible within a budget and make very helpful alternative suggestions. This is the fifth holiday we have done with Bushbaby and we cannot recommend them too highly.
