African safari extraordinaire

Just super! We rode on horseback seeing giraffe, rhino and others at one destination, followed by a more typical vehicular led safari at the second destination. Everything about it, in both locations, was just brilliant.

Thailand trip

We started with a few days in Bangkok then flew to Krabi to spend a few days at Elephant Hills both at the elephant sanctuary and then on the lake venue in the national park. We finished the trip with a fabulous 7 days of relaxation in Koh Samui.

Wonderful family holiday

Another fabulous time at Constance Halaveli- absolute luxury in a stunning setting. This is a place we have been to a few times before and cannot fault any part of it. From the thoughtful and helpful staff to the fantastic food to the paradise surrounds- from the moment you step on the island you are looked after.

Another fabulous time at Constance Halaveli- absolute luxury in a stunning setting. This is a place we have been to a few times before and cannot fault any part of it. From the thoughtful and helpful staff to the fantastic food to the paradise surrounds- from the moment you step on the island you are looked after. In fact, from the moment we landed at Male airport we were looked after. Hummingbird - which are the agents that Bushbaby partner with - take care of everything so we want to mention their wonderful customer care. I could go on and on about this place but nothing can adequately express how wonderful it is. I only wish we could have had a little longer.

Always a pleasure to book through Bushbaby - we feel well looked after in their hands. They genuinely want their clients to have the best holiday possible. We have been booking through them for years and will continue to do so.

Amazing holiday of a lifetime!

We thoroughly enjoyed both safari's in South Africa. Ants Nest was magical and very homely and we loved being on horseback. So amazing to get so close to the animals. All the staff were so friendly. Jaci's was wonderful too with the lookout and the hide and we saw the big 5. Amazing!. The Seychelles was a perfect place to unwind and relax. The beaches were beautiful and white and the sea was so blue and clear. Both places we stayed were just ...

We thoroughly enjoyed both safari's in South Africa. Ants Nest was magical and very homely and we loved being on horseback. So amazing to get so close to the animals. All the staff were so friendly. Jaci's was wonderful too with the lookout and the hide and we saw the big 5. Amazing!. The Seychelles was a perfect place to unwind and relax. The beaches were beautiful and white and the sea was so blue and clear. Both places we stayed were just perfect. The Story hotel on Mahe was in beautiful location and great to be able to walk out to different restaurants along the beach. We loved the contrast at Villa D'or on Praslin being self catered. Although we did find the food was very expensive to buy and not much meat or vegetables in the supermarkets. However we found some great restaurants to eat out at. We went on a few boat trips to visit different islands and to go snorkelling. We were extremely lucky to see whale sharks which Annabel and my husband ended up swimming with. Such an amazing experience! Thank you so much for organising a holiday of a life time!

A holiday of a lifetime

We wanted a special holiday to mark the end of a stressful period in our lives and to celebrate new beginnings. We contacted Bushbaby travel who created the perfect holiday for us which comprised relaxing in the Seychelles and then flying to South Africa to go on safari. Every aspect was organised efficiently and thoughtfully to ensure an amazing holiday experience was had by all members of our family.

Rating for tour operator:

Bushbaby travel were exemplary from start to finish. We gave them very little to work with in terms of our own ideas, but they managed to come up with the perfect holiday plan for us. Many finer details that we would not have considered ourselves was thought about by the company, including meet and greets at every step of the way, and providing a comprehensive guide to the areas we were travelling to informing us of what to do both ahead of travelling and also what we needed whilst away. We also received a "tracker guide" to help us identify animal tracks on safari! They took all the stress away from planning the holiday as we knew we could trust in their choices.

We are so very pleased you had a fantastic time, and hope the memories will last a long time after you've arrived home! Thank you so much for entrusting your plans to us.

Another Bushbaby Travel sensation

From the planning stage to the receipt of our final documents Bushbaby’s attention to detail and their whole team’s unending knowledge is second to none. This trip to Canada staying in five different locations in British Columbia was our fifteenth holiday with them and this one was for my husband’s 70th birthday so extra special and that is exactly what it was.

From the planning stage to the receipt of our final documents Bushbaby’s attention to detail and their whole team’s unending knowledge is second to none. This trip to Canada staying in five different locations in British Columbia was our fifteenth holiday with them and this one was for my husband’s 70th birthday so extra special and that is exactly what it was. We started off in Vancouver - moved onto Victoria/Tofino/Campbell River and ending in Whistler. Every hotel was outstanding - the ferries over to the island and back to the mainland perfectly timed to the distances needed to get there in plenty of time and the two magical experiences of a 7 hour spring bears and whales river cruise with lunch and the peak to peak gondola ride perfectly organised.This company is so exceptional that trip number 16 is already booked.

Rating for tour operator:

The only word needed is exceptional. We couldn’t recommend them more highly.
