Our Recommendation
Extend Your Trip
”Thank you for organising a fabulous family holiday. We have travelled to South Africa before, but never with our children. So, having someone nearby, familiar with the places, local knowledge and able to tailor the experience to our family’s needs, made all the difference. Anje was always there when we required any help (without being too instructive) and planned our itinerary perfectly providing a perfect balance between the ‘African experience’ , relaxing and adrenaline activities – all tailored to the age of our children and family requests. We stayed in some fabulous locations that we would never have found without her help and she managed to keep our trip within budget! A huge thank you and we would certainly recommend Bush Marine Tours to others travelling to Africa wanting a bespoke experience.”
