CLIENT REVIEWS

Our recent family trip to Africa was truly unforgettable, thanks to the exceptional planning and attention to detail provided by Carol. From the very beginning, Carol took the time to understand our interests and preferences, crafting an itinerary that perfectly balanced adventure, relaxation, and cultural immersion.

Every aspect of our trip was meticulously organised, from the stunning safari lodges to the guided tours and local experiences. Carol went above and beyond to ensure that we had unique, authentic experiences, whether it was tracking wildlife in Botswana or exploring the sites of Cape Town.

Communication was seamless throughout the planning process, and Carol was always available to address any questions or concerns. Carol’s expertise and local connections provided us with a deeper understanding and appreciation of the destinations we visited, and were significantly enhanced by having an in country “local” provider.

Thanks to Carol, my family made memories that will last a lifetime. I couldn’t have asked for a better travel experience and wholeheartedly recommend Bushbaby Tours to anyone looking to explore Africa or any other destination.

Thank you, Carol, for making our dream trip a reality!

When we began thinking of a Safari Trip, we  didn’t know where to start and spent many hours talking to friendscompanies and ended up feeling overwhelmed with choices and information.

We then received a recommendation  from a friend to contact Carol  Maasch of Bushbaby Tours  in South Africa. I can honestly say that without her advice, suggestions, and patience, we would never have had the incredible experience that we did.  She made the difference between having a great holiday and having the holiday of a lifetime –  filled with wonderous memories. She managed to create a fantastic itinerary that suited the wish list’s of five different people.

It was simply the holiday of a lifetime.

I would highly recommend Carol to anyone!

We had a wonderful time in South Africa.  A highlight wedding and safari! Johannes was so excited, deeply impressed and overwhelmed by all the nature, that he decided not to go anywhere else and it was hard work to convince him to come back with us! Thanks again for organizing Londolozi.

We just returned from the ‘Adventure of a Lifetime’. And before I even look at my desk today, I wanted to drop you a quick note of THANKS! Everything went perfectly! Not only did we enjoy ourselves beyond belief, all travel plans went without even 1 glitch. Every place you suggested was beyond awesome and Abu, well, was just off the charts! I can’t wait to share some photos with you and you MUST go see the gorillas! Beyond amazing and not only were we both touched by the mountain gorillas, one came and licked Carl¹s back WOW. Thank you so very much for all you did in putting this trip together and especially for the Book, what a great surprise. I’ll be in touch soon but THANK YOU AGAIN! You are Awesome at what you do – Aloha, Suzanne.

Dear Carol,

Thank you for the best trip ever!! There is not one thing we would change. Everything went smoothly, the camps were wonderful, and I love Cape Town. Carol, you are a dream to work with; thank you for your patience and wonderful suggestions and thank you for meeting us as we arrived at the Cape Grace Hotel – what a treat. Thank you also for the beautiful book and beautiful picture frame. I will definitely recommend you to our friends as they plan their trips to Africa. Thank you for everything!!

Hi Carol,

I wanted to send a quick note to say thank you for the excellent recommendations and itinerary for our South Africa trip. It was an adventure of a lifetime and we will never forget all of the memories we made along the way. I’ve thrown together a little video below to give you an idea of how much we LOVED Ngala. What a top notch lodge with such amazing people and service. We hope to be back!

Dear Carol,

Thank you for putting together the most wonderful vacation, we really did have the trip of a lifetime.  You were such a pleasure to work with and were “spot on” with your suggestions.  Simbavati was a great choice for a “tented safari” experience and Londolozi was just amazing!

Carol – thank you so much for helping to arrange a great trip for Robert and me! I appreciate the last-minute changes to deal with the wind/weather and the boat cancellation to Robben Island. Jaci’s Tree House was excellent.  Cape Grace is a spectacular hotel and the staff is world-class! I particularly enjoyed hiking up Table Mountain with Conrad and Nadia was a great tour guide for the Cape Peninsula.  Bronwyn was also very helpful shifting things around. All in all, the trip exceeded my expectations and I’m sure we will remember it forever! I am still working through all of my photos, but have attached one of a leopard and some giraffes that turned out pretty well for an amateur photographer….Thanks!

Dear Carol,

We are now home after having had a simply fantastic holiday in South Africa. Many thanks for all your help in arranging it. We were delighted to meet you and thrilled with the lovely book you gave us. Thank you so much. Although every part of the holiday was enjoyable, the highlight has to be getting so close to the animals on safari. It was an enormous privilege to be able to do this and we were very lucky to have a really first-class guide, who obviously had a lot of knowledge. Tamodi, of course, was utter luxury and we were given every care and attention – and Enrico’s serves jolly good food. However, nothing could dilute our overall enjoyment of your beautiful country and, hopefully, we will return again. Do let us know if you come to the UK.

We recently worked with Carol Maasch of Bush Baby Tours to plan our honeymoon.  Going to Africa had been a life-long dream and with Carol’s expertise, patience with our questions and understanding of our budget we ended up with the trip of a life-time! We could not have done it without Carol’s help. Every detail was planned and we didn’t have to worry about a thing after stepping off the plane.  We visited 2 luxury safari camps in 2 completely different parts of South Africa and Carol made it all happen within budget.  Although it might be a while, we definitely want to visit Africa again, and when we do, we will looking up Carol and Bushbaby Tours to help us do it! I could get even more gushing… and it would all be true!
