Perfection yet again

Oman was a magical country given what we saw in the 8 nights we were there. We went from the capitol for 2 nights to the mountains for 2 nights to the desert for 1 night and ended up on the coastal side of the capitol for our last 3 nights. All the places we stayed were of a very high standard with charming staff and excellent accommodation.

Bushbaby Travel is the only company we use for all our long haul holidays. Their attention to detail and to their clients’ needs is second to none. Their knowledge of all the destinations on their books is what makes them so special. We would never think of using any other company.

Perfect Memory Maker!

Every element of the holiday process was a pleasure, easy and smooth! Travel to the destination was excellent from luxury sea plane lounges, to the warm welcome at our gorgeous Indian Ocean island, fabulous accommodation, outstanding staff and an indulgent lagoon spa; everything really was just a perfect experience and a wonderful ‘memory maker’ holiday for a demanding family of five!

Stress free luxury with an 8 month old!!

We travelled to Columbia Beach Resort in Cyprus in early November. From the private transfers, to the fabulous hotel suites, the 5* restaurants, heated indoor pool and amazing sea views we couldn't have asked for a better holiday. The staff were fantastic with our baby and really welcoming. This put us and baby at ease and made mealtimes relaxing for us and the other guests!! The baby equipment provided free of charge were really appreciated ...

I'd recommend Bushbaby to any parents. Their suggestion for country and hotel were spot on and made travelling with an 8 month old baby stress free. They enabled us to have a fantastic and well needed break.

Family holiday to South Africa and Mauritius

Wow! What can I say. We had a multi-generational holiday with ages ranging from 9-72. Bushbaby Travel recommended Ants Hill, Tuningi Safari Lodge and One &Only Saint Geran. Each was stunning in their own right. We loved the intimacy and personal service at Ants Hill. The horse riding safari was magical. Tuningi was pure luxury. Amazing accommodation, beautiful food and highly skilled rangers who delivered game drives beyond our wildest dreams...

Lovely accommodation, wonderful choice of food and great facilities, especially the water sports. Would love to do it all over again.

We have used Bushbaby Travel for a number of years. They know what we like and the fact that Abi and her team have visited all the hotels they use mean we get an honest and trusted reccomendation. Every little detail is taken care of, even internal transfers, so we don’t need to worry about anything. All this and a great price is why we will keep coming back to Bushbaby Travel.

Amazing Holiday touring Sri Lanka

We spent 12 days travelling round Sri Lanka, 2 adults and 2 12 year olds, enjoying a huge variety of experiences. The hotels were all wonderful and the accommodation ideal for a family, the travel arrangements were perfect with our own driver who was professional but really friendly and full of local information to give us a much better feel for Sri Lanka, its history, culture and the country today. Life long memories were made.

Luxury and adventure

We took our grandchildren to Thailand. Elephant Hills was an exceptional jungle experience. Washing elephants, swimming in the lake and wading up a jungle stream pushed all their buttons. They loved the luxury and pool at Anatara. The proximity to Bophut Fisherman's village and its walking market gave them a manageable flavour of Thailand.

Ecuador and the Galapagos

A tour of Ecuador, starting in Quito before travelling to the cloud forest and the on to the high Andes; an amazing and hugely diverse country. We then spent a week in the Galapagos on a boat travelling to a number of different islands. We saw so much and got to swim with dolphins, penguins, sea lions, sea turtles and thousands of fish, to name a few things. It was an absolutely fantastic trip for all ages.
