I participated in their full day game safari drive in Kruger National Park. I found Bushbaby Tours to be faultless and professional. Clinton, the guide and driver proved to be exceptionally knowledgeable about the park, it's animals and flora and fauna. Nothing was rushed, enjoying plenty of viewing time when we located various animals. The light breakfast and lunch was anything but, a wonderful surprise when laid out at the rest camps. I came away at the end of the day enlightened about the natural history and very happy of a well organized day. I highly recommend Bushbaby, they are affordable and very well managed

An incredible day in Kruger with Elize! We had been in the park self-guided for 9 days and booked our final day on a drive with Bushbaby. What an amazing experience that I can’t say enough about. Elize was so knowledgeable from any animal, to the smallest insect, to the local culture, and park infrastructure. While we didn’t see a ton of animals this day, it didn’t matter - spending time in the company of Elize, her introduction to local foods, and wealth of knowledge was worth more than any sightings.
A genuine great spirit, you can tell all of her heart and soul just lives in the magic of Kruger Park and reflected in her company. We will definitely be spending more time with her the next time we are back!

We went out on a day safari not with Elize but with Clinton, who did an amazing job. Nothing but praise both for him and the whole experience. From the first communication with Elize to arrange things to the amazing sightings, all the information we got and the wonderful food, we loved everything. We saw elephants up close (but never so close as for it to feel unsafe), a herd of buffalo, a hyena, lots of different antilope and birds, a lioness sunbathing and even a leopard cub. Wonderful experience.

Two weeks ago we visited the Kruger National Park with the bushbaby adventures and it was a wonderful experience... The guide was very kind and professional and was committed to show us all the possible especies of animals, birds and plants that live in Kruger, explaining us all the particularity of the beautiful especies that we saw. It was a very exciting day and we suggest it very much to have a more complete experience of the magical Kruger.

We were quite unlucky with the weather and therefore also with the sightings at the waterholes. Elize gave us a wonderful game drive with many uncommon and small animals. The food (breakfast and lunch) was incredibly tasty and we could enjoy the time very much. elize was from beginning to end mega motivated and just lovely! Would immediately go with Elize again in the Kruger!

I spent an awesome half day safari with Elise yesterday. Her passion for her job and ensuring her guests are treated well is second to none. Her knowledge of the Kruger park and its inhabitants is impressive. Looking forward to when I can return to Phalaborwa and experience more of Elise’s hospitality.

Hi! My family and I (2 adults/2 kids aged 13 and 10) will be in Hazyview next September. We'd like to do a Sunset Safari on September 20 and a full day Safari on September 21 or 22. Do you offer this kind of services? If so, could you please let me know what the costs would be? Thanks!

I’m a widow age 72. What are your sleeping accommodations? Do you think that I could keep up with other travelers who, most likely, will be younger?
