Superb holiday enjoyed by all the different ages

Our holiday took place in Cyprus - it is a beautiful resort with plenty to do for the kids and adults without being too activity based. We travelled with young two children and a grandma and everyone was happy. Great food options and friendly attentive staff.

Much needed break following a bereavement - delivered on all fronts

10 days in Mahe and Felicite, Seychelles - 4 and 5 nights at Story and Six Senses Zil Pasyon. We were 3 (kids 19 and 24) - travelled with Emirates.

Abi and the team at Bushbaby have been our go to operator and advisor for years. They have always got it right in terms of what works for us. Their precision, communication and attention to finest detail is outstanding. They really care and it was particular in this case as my husband has just died and we were in need of a family break in the sun but to rest and relax following a traumatic time. Abi is and has always been immensely caring and thoughtful.

Safari and Seychelles Honeymoon

We had an amazing safari in the Masai Mara followed by a week relaxing in the Seychelles for our honeymoon. We wouldn’t have changed anything.

Bushbaby planned a fantastic trip for us, with all transfers completely smooth, and staying at great places. We wouldn’t have changed anything. They arranged for a special private romantic dinner at the Seychelles for us which was an amazing surprise on the last night of our honeymoon.

Fabulous self drive tour of Namibia

Great way to explore country of many contrasts. From desert to coast to salt pans. Superbly organised trip with perfect itinerary. Great scenery, fantastic food, interesting animals and very friendly people.

Perfect self drive tour that met all our needs and gave us a great insight into the different aspects of Namibia. Lots of variety in the places we stayed and reasonable travel between them. Good recommendation re 4WD car hire.

Wonderful Vancouver Island trip

After a family visit in Canmore we drove to Vancouver Island. Victoria where we went Whale watching and visited Butchart Gardens. Tofino & Ucluelet for their amazing coastline and beaches. Campbell River for a Bear watching trip up to Bute inlet. Our third trip to Canada was as good as the first.

Great ideas for a fabulous holiday - every place was very different, so helpful and proactive - even the morning we were leaving, when I asked if we'd need towels in the first apartment - they got back to us within minutes ! What great service ;)

We're so very pleased you had a wonderful time on your South African adventure and I imagine with all those contrasting destinations you feel like you've been on several holidays rolled in to one! It sounds like you saw a great variety of wildlife which is great news and thank you so much for the kind words!

A holiday of a lifetime

I took my mum away with me to South Africa to celebrate my 50th and commemorate my father who would have been 80, but passed away two years before. We had three nights at Ants Lodge, where I went riding, three nights in Last Word Madikwe because I had specified we'd really like to see baby elephants and the watering hole in front of the lodge treated us to a show like no other, and then three nights in Cape Town.

Abi and her team not only hit the brief but raised the bar high. I was looking for adventure suitable for my 75-year-old fit and active mum, so not too tame but not too wild, without too many vaccinations and worries. Bushbaby hit the nail on the head with everything and made the entire process - and holiday - seamless. Completely outstanding, in every way.

Safari Adventure

Two excellent lodges at Waterbuck Lodge and Arathusa Lodge. Everything was excellent; accomadation, food, staff and safari experiences. Must mention Illios transport service between airports and camps. All three drivers were very good.

A brilliant combination of fun, adventure, touring and culture!

Great holiday travelling from Hanoi, then exploring Tam Cos & Ha Long Bay, then moving to the central location of Hoi An & Hue, and ending in Saigon. Fascinating mix of culture & tradition, the Vietnamese politics of the North & South and an undercurrent of the history of the civil war. Peppered with lots of shopping, eating and beautiful beaches, and staying in fabulous hotels/resorts. A wonderful holiday which has many fabulous memories.

Bushbaby were fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble, a very thorough & consultative approach to tailoring the itinerary, then backed up with good processes and communication to ensure we were ready for the holiday and had all we needed. Their partner out in Vietnam was superb, and clearly work well with Bushbaby, together they offered a seemless service.
