MAGICAL

ALL THE LODGES THAT BUSH BABY CHOSE FOR US WERE EXCEPTIONAL AND WE COULD NOT HAVE HAD ANYTHING BETTER. EVERY DAY WAS MAGICAL AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT WE CAME INTO CONTACT WITH WERE HELPFUL & KIND - CANNOT RECOMMEND HIGHLY ENOUGH

Wonderful Australian road trip with koalas and kangaroos

We went on a wide ranging trip from Adelaide to Melbourne including a tour of Kangaroo Island and a guided drive along the Great Ocean Road to Melbourne, finishing in Sydney.

Rating for tour operator:

Bushbaby Travel organised the whole trip. We didn't know about Kangaroo Island or the Great Ocean Road, and everything was introduced to us and then arranged with enormous care and detail. It was simply a faultless trip, not too tiring but every day was interesting and memorable. It's my third trip with Bushbaby Travel and each experience has been top notch.

Sri Lanka island tour

Three weeks touring the major cultural and wildlife sites of Sri Lanka, travelling by car with a delightful and incredibly well informed guide and driver. The trip was truly wonderful. Sri Lanka is an amazing place and the people are incredibly friendly - we felt truly welcomed and appreciated.

Lovely winter sun holiday in Maldives

We had an amazing time. The Residence is a special place: not quite perfect, but not far off.

Bushbaby were fantastic at securing the hotel and rooms we wanted, as well as following up with them and negotiating on our behalf when the hotel needed to make enforced changes. Friendly and efficient, we'd happily use them again!

Magic from beginning to end

We started off in Bangkok for three nights at the beautiful Anantara hotel on the bank of the Chao Phraya River. We toured the city on the hop on hop off tourist bus on one day and on the other we toured on the shuttle riverboats. The Wat Arun and the Wat Pho temples were stunning. We then flew to Phuket and transferred to Khao Lak to the gorgeous Casa de la Flora small villa hotel overlooking the ocean. Relaxing and peaceful and surrounded ...

We started off in Bangkok for three nights at the beautiful Anantara hotel on the bank of the Chao Phraya River. We toured the city on the hop on hop off tourist bus on one day and on the other we toured on the shuttle riverboats. The Wat Arun and the Wat Pho temples were stunning. We then flew to Phuket and transferred to Khao Lak to the gorgeous Casa de la Flora small villa hotel overlooking the ocean. Relaxing and peaceful and surrounded by nature. Our next stop was one night at Elephant Hills tented main camp and one night at Elephant Hills lake camp on a full board basis. Lots of activities on offer but the highlight was the feeding and interacting with the ten rescued female elephants at the Elephant Experience. Our accommodation reminded us very much of being on safari in South Africa. From here we transferred to the Kata Thani Beach Resort in southern Phuket. It was the perfect spot to spend our last three nights in this stunning country. All our hotels had supreme service - charming and friendly staff and the cuisine was fresh produce cooked to perfection. All our transfers which had been pre booked through our magnificent tour operator were superb and made moving around so easy.

Rating for tour operator:

We have travelled with Bushbaby Travel for 18 years and this was our 16th worldwide trip with them. They make everything so easy because they are masters of their craft. Their attention to detail is second to none and they encourage their clients to be confident in exploring everywhere they go. Their bespoke itineraries are very much catered to their individual clients tastes and interests. We wouldn’t dream of booking with anyone else.

We wend from the North (Hanoi) to the South with stops in Halong Bay, Hue, Hon, and Ho Chi Minh City. We ended with a luxurious respite at Six Senses Con Dao.
