Fantastic family holiday to Thailand

Bushbaby booked us a mixture of culture, relaxation and wildlife experience in just ten days but it felt so much longer. Bangkok temples and markets, Phuket beaches, food heaven and snorkeling followed by an elephant sanctuary and a lake safari in a beautiful national park. Great transfers and superb accommodation throughout.

South Africa - Safari and Cape Town

A wonderful holiday. A magical horse riding safari in the African bush where service was so personal. This was followed by a traditional Game Drive safari where we saw so much wildlife. We then visited Cape Town and the winelands with beautiful beaches, scenery. We’re all desperate to go back.

Extremely helpful from the beginning of the booking process to our departure. Our holiday was planned carefully with our requirements in mind and we definitely benefited from your expertise and inside knowledge. The result was one of our favourite ever holidays!!

Wonderful family holiday

Bushbaby Travel arranged our holiday accommodation and transport in South Africa. The accommodation they booked for us was outstanding and all connections were on time and stress-free. We are repeat customers as our first experience with Bushbaby 11 years ago was so good, and we made the right decision to book with them again. Highly recommend!

Another Bushbaby Travel success

The Bushbaby team put together another excellent trip for us, this time for a short burst of winter sun in Thailand. The hotel recommendations were very good, and the transfers etc were excellent. They also organised a day tour in Bangkok where we had a private guide who took us to all the major sites. This meant we were able to see everything in a very short space of time which was great, as time was limited, and our guide was very knowledgable...

Without Bushbaby organising this we probably would have missed out.

Costa Rica, a magical experience, the holiday of a lifetime full of adventure for our entire family

We travelled the country and experienced many different activities, climates and environments. We spent time in the rain forest, cloud forest and on the beaches. We hiked, zip lined, discovered wildlife, flora, fauna, met wonderfully friendly people, locally and hotel staff and sampled wonderful food throughout our entire trip. We had some dietary constraints, none of which were problematic. We would highly recommend this as a holiday ...

Bushbaby Travel were excellent from start to finish. Our contact, Emily had actually travelled around Costa Rica herself so was able to give us first hand experience and also recommend most hotels as places she had visited. We had rather a lot to pack into our 16 night stay and were keen to fit in as much as possible. She helped us organise all the travelling around, internal flights, logistics, timings etc. I think we drove her crazy but nothing was too much trouble for her. She was available via email or on the telephone almost 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, even during Christmas and New Year. She really went above and beyond to ensure our trip ran smoothly and was memorable for us! She really succeeded. We will not hesitate to use Bushbaby Travel for our future trips!

Exceptional holiday

We stayed at Ants Nest South Africa. It is without question the best holiday we have ever had. The hotels attention to detail is extra ordinary.
